COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
Walter W. Cooper ’85, ’87M
Walter W. Cooper ’85, ’87M earned both his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and MBA degrees from Gannon University. While at Gannon, he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and worked at the Small Business Development Center. Since 2016, he has been an active member of the Gannon University Board of Trustees, and was recently named chairman of the Presidential Evaluation and Executive Compensation Committee and a member of Gannon’s Executive Committee.
Mr. Cooper has founded, purchased and sold businesses in the healthcare industry over the past 15 years. Most recently, he was the co-founder and chief executive officer of Precision Health Solutions, a clinical diagnostics laboratory based in St. Petersburg, Florida. He provided the strategic vision, leadership and organizational guidance that drove the company’s growth. Concurrently, he also was the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Sozos Health Corporation, a patented healthcare software and reporting company focused on a person’s individual health. Both companies specialize in pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, utilizing individual DNA, recent laboratory blood tests and personal medication lists that offer drug-to-drug and drug-to-gene insights. Pharmacists were utilized to help provide these insights to the patient’s physician, allowing the medical team to optimize their patient’s prescription drug and dosage regimens. These corporations are helping reduce the number of medications that patients are taking while improving their overall health and longevity. This approach to personalized healthcare is changing the way doctors prescribe, globally.
Prior to joining Precision Health Solutions, Mr. Cooper served as President and CEO of Matrix Medical Networks in Scottsdale, Arizona, from 2013 to 2019. Under Mr. Cooper’s leadership, Matrix expanded into new markets and products. Building on the company’s leading in-home and mobile health risk assessment services platform, Matrix enjoys the market leader position in the industry and provides a series of inhome care and ongoing support services that impact and improve the care of more than 3,000 health plan members every day.
Before joining Matrix, Mr. Cooper served as the chief administrative officer at WellCare Health Plans, a $9.5 billion multi-state leader in Medicare and Medicaid programs, where he was responsible for the $1.5 billion Medicare Part D and Specialty Pharmacy business. There, he helped design and implement Medicare Advantage plans. Prior to WellCare, Mr. Cooper held various senior leadership positions at UnitedHealth Group.
In addition to Mr. Cooper’s healthcare experience, he spent his first 15 years in manufacturing and operations. Upon graduating from Gannon, he worked for Bausch and Lomb’s Eyewear Division in Oakland, Maryland and was promoted to general manager in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, manufacturing the world-famous RayBan sunglasses. He also worked for Jostens, Inc. in his first international start-up as general manager, manufacturing graduation class rings.
Mr. Cooper is married to Cheryl (Brinsky) Cooper ’85, and has three children, Benjamin, Haylee ’13 and Christine. Walt and Cheryl currently reside in Tampa, Florida.
In recognition of his distinguished career and dedicated service, Gannon is proud to proclaim
Walter W. Cooper Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa

Academic Regalia in American Universities
In 1895, the Intercollegiate Commission presented to American institutions of higher learning the Intercollegiate Code. Today, this code provides for three types of gowns. Those for bachelors are made of black material and have long, pointed sleeves. The master’s gown is made with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The rear part of its oblong shape is a square cut and the front part has an arc cut-away. The doctor’s gown is made with bell-shaped sleeves and like the master’s gown, it is designed so that it can be worn open or closed.
The black oxford cap is worn for all degrees, but only the doctor’s cap may be made of velvet. Only doctors and presidents of colleges may wear a gold tassel on the cap.
It is the hood which is the most important and distinctive feature of the American code. The doctor’s hood, of black cloth, is four feet
Academic Honor
in length and made with a wide panel. The master’s and bachelor’s hoods are three-andone-half feet long and three feet wide.
The binding or trim of all hoods is of velvet, two, three and five inches wide for the bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s degrees, respectively.
The color of this velvet trim indicates the department or faculty to which the degree pertains, each department having been assigned a different color by the Intercollegiate Code. The lining of the hood reflects the official colors of the college/ university.
Students who participated in a semester, summer, or internship abroad are wearing stoles representing the countries in which they studied or interned.
Cum laude is Latin for “with praise” or “with honor” and represents an academic level of achievement. Such honors are divided into categories based on a student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA) and are designated throughout this program.
Academic honors are approximated for commencement and may not reflect each student’s final honor designation upon program completion. See the undergraduate academic catalog for requirements to obtain the following academic honors.
The Gannon University Seal
The Gannon seal symbolizes the institution’s rich history and its Mission.
The right side of the shield is proper to Gannon’s founder, Archbishop John Mark Gannon, who selected spiritual symbols for his Episcopal seal when he became a bishop. The three crosses in the upper right corner express faith in the Trinity.
The left side of the shield includes the traditional symbols of education: the lamp of learning, the book of knowledge and the sun as a symbol of enlightenment. The waves refer to Gannon’s Erie, Pennsylvania and Ruskin, Florida campus locations adjacent to Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico. The sunburst in Gannon’s logo carries forward this tradition and symbolism of Gannon as a source of energy, optimism and enlightenment.

The shield in the seal is surrounded by three ribbons, each of which contains a Latin word: sanitas, which means health; scientia, which means knowledge; and sanctitas, holiness. Gannon continues to embrace the spirit of these words through its focus on the holistic development of students. Finally, Latin letters that circle the seal honor that Gannon University was founded in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1925.
