Lana D. Benatovich is the former president of the National Federation for Just Communities (NFJC) of Western New York. As President, Mrs. Benatovich oversaw the development, coordination, and promotion of diversity programs, community policing initiatives, cultural awareness sessions, multi-faith and multi- cultural community events, pro-active, anti-hate and anti-violence programming, and other programs that address the enhancement of human relations in the community.
Prior to Benatovich’s affiliation with the NFJC, she served as the community relations director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Buffalo where her responsibilities included building and maintaining relationships among various groups within the community. She also worked as a contract administrator, program coordinator, and research analyst for the Buffalo Division of Youth. Benatovich was a lecturer on foreign policy at Medaille College* and taught elementary school in New Rochelle, NY; Arlington, VA; and New York City.
Benatovich graduated from Tufts University with a bachelor of science degree in early childhood education and earned a master of arts degree in educational psychology from Columbia University.
She served as a chairperson of the Erie County Coordinating Council on Children and Families and president of the Buffalo Council on World Affairs, on the boards of St. Bonaventure University and the Network of Religious Communities, and as a commissioner of the Commission on Citizen’s Rights and Community Relations for the City of Buffalo. She graduated from Leadership Buffalo in 1989.
Benatovich’s dedication to the community earned her several prestigious awards and honors including the first-ever Racial Justice Award from the YWCA, the Community Leader Award from D’Youville College**, the Bishop James A. McNulty Award from the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, the Leadership Buffalo Inclusion Award, the Women of Distinction Award from the Girl Scouts of WNY, the Evans-Young Award from Buffalo Urban League, the President’s Award from the Western New York Women’s Bar Association, the Outstanding Achievement Award from the YWCA, the Buffalo Area Metropolitan Ministries’ Pastor Elijah J. Nichols Community Award, and a Certificate of Appreciation for Excellence in Community Service from the Buffalo Public Schools Department of Integration. Benatovich received the Gaudete Medal from St. Bonaventure University and an honorary doctorate from Canisius University. In 2005, she was inducted into the Western New York Women’s Hall of Fame.
Benatovich is married to Dr. Howard Benatovich and has two daughters, Amy (Michael) Janay and Marnie (Louis) Cerrato, and six grandchildren.

Dr. Gary A. Olson, a noted scholar of rhetoric, writing, and culture, is the sixth president of Daemen University. Before coming to Daemen, he served as Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Idaho State University. A multi-campus, Carnegie Foundation “Research High” doctoral university, Idaho State serves as the state’s principal university promoting education in the health care professions and related sciences. Olson oversaw seven colleges, ISU’s libraries, and the Idaho Museum of Natural History.
Olson served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Illinois State University from 2004 to 2009, where he led the institution’s largest and most complex college, consisting of three schools and 15 departments, as well as a planetarium and an award-winning public radio station.
For nearly two decades (1985–2004), Olson served as an administrator and faculty member at the University of South Florida, one of the nation’s top 25 public research universities offering 260 degree programs (including the MD) to over 50,000 students on three campuses. Olson served as the chief academic officer at USF’s St. Petersburg campus from 2002 to 2004, helping to lead the campus to become a free-standing, self-governing, and separately accredited campus within the USF system.
Olson obtained his Ph.D. in literary criticism and rhetoric from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1980. He also holds a master’s degree from the University of Connecticut, and a bachelor’s from Kings College. His early research at the University of Alabama and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington focused on rhetoric and writing studies.
He is the author or editor (often in collaboration) of 20 books and over 100 essays and articles and has written on a number of subjects central to rhetoric studies, including the role of theory in rhetorical scholarship, the connections between ideology and discourse, and the contributions of Stanley Fish.
In 2002, the Association for Teachers of Advanced Composition established an annual book award in Olson’s name: The Gary A. Olson Award for the most outstanding book on rhetorical and cultural theory. A decade later, the Southeastern Writing Center Association honored Olson by establishing an annual faculty award in his name: The Gary A. Olson Scholarship. Olson founded the organization in 1980.
Olson served as a monthly columnist on higher education administration for the Chronicle of Higher Education from 2006 to 2013, and he wrote for the Huffington Post on similar topics from 2013 to 2017. His most recent book is Stanley Fish, America’s Enfant Terrible: The Authorized Biography (Southern Illinois University Press, 2016).

Special recognition at graduation is provided to undergraduate students who compile outstanding academic records. The blue cord indicates one of the following academic achievements: Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Summa Cum Laude.
Degrees conferred Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Summa Cum Laude reflect an outstanding cumulative grade point average. The distinction and corresponding grade point averages are:
Cum Laude – 3.30 | Magna Cum Laude – 3.50 | Summa Cum Laude – 3.70
Graduation honors are announced at May Commencement and noted on the graduate’s diploma.
The academic costume worn at official functions today originated in the universities of the Middle Ages, when a warm gown and hood were useful for scholars and clerics in unheated buildings. By modern times, the growth in the number of universities caused a great deal of confusion in academic regalia and in 1894-95, a commission brought some order to the chaos. The American Council on Education subsequently effected more improvements in 1959–60.
The mortarboard cap, which generally prevails in the United States, originated at Oxford. Cambridge, European universities, and some Latin American universities use other types of caps, which are, of course, legitimate for wear in any American processional when the individual holds a degree from one of these institutions.
Gowns are generally black, although some few universities depart from this practice. The bachelor’s gown is simple, with long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown will have either long sleeves with a narrow wrist opening or long sleeves with the hand emerging from the sleeve at about the elbow length. The doctor’s gown is fullest in cut; it has velvet panels down the front and around the neck, as well as three bars of the same material on the bell-shaped sleeves.
The hood indicates the level of the degree, the faculty in which it was given, and the institution that granted it. Degree level is indicated by length: the master’s hood is three and one-half feet long and the doctor’s hood is four feet long. The velvet trim on the exposed edge of the hood is three inches wide for the master’s degree and five inches wide for the doctor’s degree. The color of the trim indicates the field of study. A color, or color pattern, between the trim indicates the university granting the degree.
Hood trim colors indicate the following fields:
- Maize – Agriculture
- White – Arts, Letters,Humanities
- Drab – Commerce, Accountancy, Business
- Lilac – Dentistry
- Copper – Economics
- Light Blue – Education
- Orange – Engineering

Daemen University trustee scholars have diverse backgrounds, educational goals, and perspectives. They are nominated during their senior year in high school on both academic achievement and non-academic factors and they must apply and interview during Daemen’s Scholars Day. Only ten scholars are selected each year. Trustee scholars are adorned with a recognition medal, which distinguishes them as scholars.
The office of mace bearer is purely ceremonial, and derives from medieval times in England when an official was taking office or opening his court and needed a bodyguard. Then the mace, a formidable weapon, was held ready to protect the person of the dignitary. From the sixteenth century in England and since colonial days in America, it has become a symbol of office only, and is carried by a distinguished member of the faculty.
The mace was custom-made by artisans especially for Daemen University. The solid walnut staff, punctuated by antique brass grips, represents solidity and stability. Encircling the walnut crown are four brass medallions facing north, south, east, and west. Etched in each medallion is the traditional Rosary Hill/Daemen University seal, depicting an open book, which represents the pursuit of truth and knowledge, illuminated by a torch, which represents enlightenment deriving from learning. Topping the crown is a crystal eternal flame, again symbolizing intellectual enlightenment.
