PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Graduates and Friends:
On behalf of Kaplan University’s Board of Directors, administration, faculty and staff, it is
my honor to welcome you to the 2005 Summer Commencement. This ceremony recognizes
a major milestone and significant accomplishment for our graduates. All of you have worked
hard and made great sacrifices to complete the degrees and programs conferred here today.
You’ve done so with the support of family members and friends, whose contribution we also
honor today. It is with great pleasure that I congratulate you on a job well done.
The degrees and certificates you have earned will, we trust, open doors to the many opportunities that are available to you in this changing society. It is my hope that you will continue
to reflect on your Kaplan University experience as you go forward to pursue your dreams.
Indeed, I anticipate that many of you will continue your education right here at Kaplan
University. Let this milestone serve as the beginning of your life-long quest for knowledge.
Kaplan University is pleased to welcome you to the ranks of our alumni. We are proud to be
part of your lives, admiring of the effort you have invested, and confident that the tenacity

DEGREE RECIPIENT
Danny K. Davis has represented the 7th Congressional District of Illinois in the U.S.
House of Representatives since January 1997. The district includes the Chicago
headquarters for Kaplan University. Congressman Davis has distinguished himself
as an articulate voice for his constituents and as an effective legislator able to move
major bills to passage. His initiative to quadruple the Access to Jobs funding in the
105th Congress was one of only two successful amendments to the transportation
authorization bill. His bi-partisan Community Renewal Act in the 106th Congress
brought investment and jobs to economically impacted communities.
Representative Davis introduced the Public Safety Ex-Offenders Self Sufficiency
Act which continues to gain support. The Act is designed to rehabilitate and to prepare ex-offenders for a
healthy and positive reentry into normal society once they are released from correctional facilities and
institutions and to reduce recidivism.
Representative Davis is active with a number of Congressional groups, including the Congressional Black
Caucus, and has served as a regional Democratic whip.
Congressman Davis is a champion of education and the disadvantaged. He grew up on a farm in Arkansas
and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Arkansas A.M. & N. College, which is now the University of
Arkansas at Pine Bluff. He moved to Chicago to work as an educator and was a teacher, assistant principal,
and guidance counselor in the public schools. He earned a master’s degree from Chicago State University
and a doctorate from the Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Representative Davis also had successful careers as a community organizer, health planner and administrator,
and civil rights advocate. He was first elected to public office as a member of the Chicago City Council and
served as Alderman of the 29th Ward for 11 years. He was also a Cook County Commissioner for six years.
Congressman Davis has received hundreds of awards and citations for outstanding work in the areas of
health, education, human relations, politics and advocacy. He has traveled extensively both domestically
and abroad, and has been an officer and member of many civic, professional and social organizations.
Congressman Davis has developed a unique and energetic style of communication and interaction with his
constituents, setting up dozens of advisory task forces to consider significant questions of public policy. He
hosts several weekly television and radio shows which feature audience call-in.
Congressman Davis produces regular newsletters mailed to every household in the district. In addition, he
maintains weekly office hours in the district and is widely sought after as a speaker at district events.
He is married to Vera G. Davis, has two sons, Jonathan and Stacey, and is a member and Deacon of the
New Galilee M.B. Church.

ACADEMIC REGALIA (DRESS)
Robes and hoods worn during the commencement are steeped in tradition that dates to the eleventh century, when the
monks who administered Oxford University in England wore shoulder capes to protect themselves from scratches when
they gathered alms and hoods to protect their shaven heads from the cold. Eventually, the garb was worn daily to serve
both insulation from the damp and cold inside the University’s walls, and as identification that one had permission to
pass into specific college buildings.
In the United States, the academic robes and hoods were first adopted as ceremonial attire for college officials in 1754
at the institution now known as Columbia University. In 1885, students in many of the country’s colleges and universities
launched a movement to permit graduating candidates to wear robes and caps during the commencement. Eight years
later, an intercollegiate commission of university officials adopted the country’s first code of color and design for the
academic garb. Faculty soon adopted the custom of wearing gowns at commencement and other academic ceremonies.
Although the code has been revised many times, today’s academic regalia represent those modifications accepted in
1960, and adopted by nearly 95% of the nation’s postsecondary institutions.
In the United States today, the academic robe is most often black; some institutions, however, sanction the use of specific
colors. The length of the robe, the width of the sleeves’ borders, and the length of the hood all increase with each
advanced degree.
Colors in the hoods identify both the specific field of study in which the degree was earned, as shown by the velvet
border, as well as the institution that granted it, as shown by the lining. The following color table provides a key to
the fields of study according to the Intercollegiate Code:
