2014 Graduation - Kaplan University

2014 Graduation
Event Guide
Important details regarding
your graduation event weekend.
July 26, 2014
Chicago, Illinois
To the Graduates of the Class of 2014,
Your graduation day is almost here. What will you remember
most? Walking across the stage to confirm your degree, the
smiles on your family and friends’ faces seeing you accomplish
your goals, moving your tassle from the right to the left, or the
nights staying up late to prepare for an exam.
As you begin thinking about the next step after graduation,
remember the professors who made a difference and the
classmates who came through a tough class with you. These
lessons of teamwork and class work are just as important
to your future career as the academics.
When you are fitted with your cap and gown, remember the graduates and leaders who
walked across the stage before you at the start of their educational journey.
Build upon the momentum from graduation and keep your passion for learning. I wish you
well as you prepare to graduate and begin the next exciting chapter in your life.
Best regards,
Dr. Wade Dyke
Kaplan University President

Career Services
Congratulations, Graduate!
We are proud of you and all that you have accomplished at Kaplan University. Career Services can help you to
prepare for life after graduation. We help Kaplan University students and alumni define their career goals and
take the steps to pursue them. Through partnerships and individualized assistance, our students have the
opportunity to develop career-related skills for a competitive global employment arena.
Career Network
The Career Network is accessible via the KU Campus portal to currently enrolled students and graduates of Kaplan
University. The Career Network is designed as a social platform for our students and graduates to collaborate
with each other and the Career Services team. Career Services monitors the Career Network from 8:00 am to 8:00
pm ET to answer specific job search questions. In addition, students can search for jobs 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. The job tracker has been created specifically for Kaplan University students and focuses on positions
based on a student’s program of study and geographic location. The tracker houses job posts from CareerBuilder
and its partners, thus offering a large number of available jobs for students to view.
The job tracker feature built into the Career Network will record each student’s or graduate’s specific job search
activity. Students can review how many jobs they have looked at, see how many they have applied for, and keep
track of the positions that they are interviewing for. This data is beneficial in helping students follow up on job
openings they have applied to and gauge their actual efforts in the job search. It also assists in conversations
with a student’s assigned Career Specialist, who can give additional advice on resumes, interviewing skills, and
networking assistance.
In addition to its social function, the Career Network allows students and graduates to create a professional
profile that offers the opportunity to:
> Complete a work interest assessment
> Build a resume and cover letter using the online tool, Optimal Resume
> S
ign up for an exit interview with a Career Services staff member
upon graduation
> Update current employment status
> Apply for employment opportunities geared toward their program
of study and geographic area
