History HISTORY

The University of La Verne was founded in 1891 as Lordsburg College by members of the Church of the Brethren. Both the college and the agricultural community were renamed La Verne in 1917, and the 1920s and 1930s found three-quarters of the student body focused on learning and career paths in education.

Over the next four decades, enrollment surged, campus facilities quadrupled, and the Board of Trustees became independent of religious influence. Change came again in the 1960s, when the college awarded its first master’s degrees and began offering degree programs at off campus locations. By 1969, the school officially opened its College of Law. In 1977, the college was renamed the University of La Verne, and two years later, the university conferred its first doctorate degree. The university founded its first regional campus in Orange County in 1981, and its San Fernando Valley campus opened in 1983. A separate campus for the updated College of Law and Public Service was established in Ontario in 2000.

Over the last 20 years, the University of La Verne has renovated or newly constructed more than half of the buildings on the past decade, creating a dramatic change to the look of its central campus. Some of the larger projects included a remodeled Sports Science & Athletics Pavilion, the Johnson Family Plaza, the Sara and Michael Abraham Campus Center, Vista La Verne Residence Hall, a five-level parking structure, and the Campus West athletics complex, home to the university's baseball and softball teams.

In 2018, the central campus opened a residence hall named Citrus Hall, and a dining hall known as The Spot. These new buildings completed the burgeoning student village along with Vista, The Oaks Residence Hall, and the Sara and Michael Abraham Campus Center. In recent years, the Randall Lewis Center for Well-Being and Research and the Ludwick Center for Spirituality, Cultural Understanding, and Community Engagement were built to give the university community spaces to collaborate, engage in dialogue, and develop their well-being both mentally and physically.

Today, the University of La Verne has campuses throughout California and a robust range of programs online. It continues to grow regionally and nationally, while honoring its profound history with each new class. More than 90,000 proud alumni share a deep-rooted connection to the University of La Verne and to its mission and values.

Academic Regalia ACADEMIC REGALIA

The caps, gowns, and hoods worn in all academic ceremonies today are modified versions of clothing worn in medieval times. The priests and monks who taught in the early universities—Bologna, Paris, Oxford—wore gowns and hoods to their lectures, probably for warmth in the damp, unheated halls where classes were held.

Today’s modern hoods are more colorful. Hood linings carry the colors of the degree-granting institution. The University of La Verne’s colors are orange and green. All candidates receiving degrees today will wear these colors. On undergraduate, master’s and doctoral hoods, the color of the hood facings represent the academic discipline in which the degree has been granted—white for arts, letters or humanities; golden yellow for science; brown for commerce or business; light blue for education; turquoise for public administration; and salmon for health administration.

Another distinguishing element is the length of the gown. The variation in length signifies the type of degree held by the wearer. The sleeves of the three types of gowns have different lengths and cuts. Bachelor's gowns are cut shorter and have wide sleeves. Master's gowns are longer on the body and have longer, closed sleeves, while the sleeves on doctoral gowns have three horizontal velvet stripes, and a vertical facing in velvet down the front of the gown itself. Most American institutions have adopted black gowns, although some use other colors.

Opinions differ concerning the origin of the caps worn in academic ceremonies, and one view is that the “mortar board” represents the books carried by scholars. The tassels worn on the caps vary in color. For some institutions, they represent the degree held by the wearer, but in most cases, they are black. Bachelor's tassels are green unless they receive school honors. These additional colored tassels vary by title and come in white, silver, and gold. Master's tassels are black. Doctoral tassels come in either black or gold. Additionally, the University of La Verne follows the tradition that the tassel is worn on the right side of the cap until after a student’s bachelor degree has been conferred.

Speakers SPEAKERS

Gilbert R. Cisneros The university welcomes Gilbert R. “Gil” Cisneros as a speaker for the 2025 commencement ceremonies.

Rep. Gilbert R. “Gil” Cisneros is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives who was originally elected in 2018 to represent California’s 39th Congressional District. He was once again elected to the House in 2024 to represent the state’s 31st Congressional District, which encompasses eastern Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley, including portions of La Verne.

A U.S. Navy veteran and advocate for military service members and veterans, Cisneros was appointed by President Biden to serve as the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness and as the Pentagon's first Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer during his initial term.

He currently serves on the Armed Services and Small Business Committees.

He also is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Congressional Dads Caucus, Congressional Equality Caucus, Congressional Labor Caucus, the bipartisan For Country Caucus, Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, House Sustainable Environment and Energy Coalition, New Democrat Coalition, Reproductive Freedom Caucus and the SALT Caucus.

Cisneros and his wife Jacki established The Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros Foundation in 2010 to help students find a path to higher education with scholarships and college access programs. In 2015, he founded The Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at his alma mater, The George Washington University, to provide scholarships for Latino students and address policy issues that affect the Latino community.

Cisneros received a B.A. in political science from George Washington University, a master’s degree in urban education policy from Brown University, and an M.B.A. from Regis University.

Ben Eramya The university welcomes Bashir “Ben” Eramya as a speaker for the 2025 commencement ceremonies.

Bashir “Ben” Eramya (M.B.A. 2012) is owner and founder of FEAST Enterprises, one of the biggest restaurant holding companies in the United States. FEAST Enterprises and partner companies collectively own more than 230 restaurants across 10 states, including Jack in the Box, Denny’s Dinners, Corner Bakery, Corner Bakery Café and Popeye’s Chicken franchises.

Eramya has been a strong supporter of the University of La Verne since he graduated with a Master of Business Administration degree in Organizational Management in 2012. He has served as a member of the ULV College of Business advisory board, and he is listed among the university’s “125 Notable Leos for Life.”

He is the featured commencement speaker for today’s undergraduate degree ceremony, in which his son, Anthony Eramya, will receive his bachelor’s degree in journalism.

A graduate of Ganesha High School in Pomona and California State University, Fullerton, Eramya shifted from a career in banking to pursue his dream of owning a business.

Starting as a night cook at a Jack in the Box in 2000, he learned the restaurant business from the bottom up, eventually advancing to vice president of operations for the Jack in the Box corporate office, managing a million dollar portfolio. In 2010, he bought his first Jack in the Box restaurants in the Pacific Northwest.

Based in Murrieta, California, FEAST Enterprises supports national charity organizations such as No Kid Hungry, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Invictus Youth Foundation, and numerous local charities and non-profit organizations in their communities where Jack in the Box and other restaurant franchises are located.

Eramya’s nephew Riyad Robert Khoury is a 2021 ULV graduate.
