HONORARY DEGREE

James Patterson

Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa

James Patterson has created more enduring fictional characters

than any other novelist writing today with his Alex Cross,

Michael Bennett, Women’s Murder Club, Private, NYPD Red,

Daniel X, Maximum Ride, and Middle School series As of

January 2016, he has sold over 350 million books worldwide

and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most

#1 New York Times bestsellers In addition to writing thriller

novels for which he is best known, he also writes children’s,

middle-grade, and young adult fiction and is also the first author

to have #1 new titles simultaneously on the New York Times

adult and children’s bestsellers lists

The son of an insurance salesman and a schoolteacher, Patterson

grew up in Newburgh, New York, and began casually writing

at the age of nineteen In 1969, he graduated from Manhattan

College He was given a full ride to Vanderbilt University’s

graduate program in English, but dropped out after a year, knowing

that he wouldn’t be able to continue reading and writing for

pleasure if he became a college professor

Instead, he moved to New York to become a junior copywriter

for the advertising agency, J Walter Thompson, eventually becoming

CEO of its North American company

In 1976, while still working for J Walter Thompson, Patterson

published his first novel, The Thomas Berryman Number, with

Little, Brown and Company After being turned down by 31

publishers, it won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel Patterson’s

1993 novel, Along Came a Spider, his first novel to feature Alex

Cross, was also his first New York Times bestseller in fiction

In 2001, Morgan Freeman starred as Alex Cross in a film adaptation

of Along Came a Spider and Tyler Perry also played the character

in the 2012 film Alex Cross A film adaptation of Patterson’s

middle-grade novel, Middle School: The Worst Years of My

Life, will be released in theaters in October 2016

Patterson has donated more than one million books to students,

emphasizing some of the most under-resourced schools and youth

programs in the country In 2015, Patterson donated $1.75 million

to public school libraries throughout the United States, $1 million

to independent bookstores, and a further $250,000 in holiday bonuses to individual bookstore employees He also gave $1 million

to independent bookstores in 2014

For his initiatives to help kids become passionate readers and his philanthropic efforts, Patterson was awarded the National Book Foundation’s 2015 Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community

Patterson has recently donated over $26 million dollars to his and his wife’s alma maters — the University of Wisconsin, Vanderbilt University, and Manhattan College — and he has established over four hundred Teacher Education Scholarships

at twenty-four colleges and universities throughout the country, including at University of the Pacific Patterson has also donated over 650,000 books to U.S soldiers at home and overseas

In May 2015, Patterson launched a new children’s book imprint

at Little, Brown, called JIMMY Patterson, that is unwaveringly focused on one goal: turning kids into lifelong readers This imprint also provides resources, strategies and programs to serve teachers, parents, librarians and booksellers All of Patterson’s profits will be invested toward his philanthropy

Patterson has also founded ReadKiddoRead.com, a website designed to help parents, teachers and librarians ignite a new generation’s excitement for reading Awarded the National Book Foundation’s Innovations in Reading Prize and the American Library Association’s Great Websites for Kids, the site features thoughtful book reviews from a variety of genres and age ranges, a large and lively Facebook community, and contributions from other authors

Patterson’s awards for adult and children’s literature include the Edgar Award, the International Thriller of the Year Award, and the Children’s Choice Award for Author of the Year

He lives in Palm Beach, Florida, with his wife, Sue, and his son, Jack
