GreaT is Thy faiThfulness 

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; 

There is no shadow of turning with Thee; 

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; 

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be. 

Refrain: 

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! 

Morning by morning new mercies I see; 

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— 

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! 

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest, 

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above 

Join with all nature in manifold witness 

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. 

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth 

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; 

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, 

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

to which the Lord has called you. I trust you have been equipped in mind and character to impact the world

inTerim ProVosT 

I count it a great honor to present this graduating class to President Corey for the awarding of degrees. It is a great 

joy to recognize your significant achievement in completing the many requirements and demonstrating your intellectual, 

spiritual and personal development marked by the degree you are receiving. You have worked hard. You 

have studied long. You have read many pages and written many lines. I am sure that there were times when God 

seemed to ask more of you than you could manage. And yet, here you are. He has brought you to this day. 

As you delight in your accomplishments today, I am sure that you will also be lifted up by the gratitude you 

have to the many faculty members who helped you along the way, to your fellow students who engaged your 

mind and your heart in dialog and friendship, and to your family who loved, supported and prayed for your 

growth and success. 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. May you go with what he has given you and shine in the world for 

the Lord Jesus Christ. Congratulations to each of you! 

With sincere best wishes,

Billy KiM | Graduate & BOLD Commencement Speaker 

Recognized as a senior Christian statesman and international leader, Dr. Billy Kim’s remarkable career of min- 

istry includes pastoral and church leadership, evangelism, and influence within business and political circles 

that have made a significant impact for God’s kingdom. 

After coming to the United States with the help of an American serviceman in 1951, Billy received his 

B.A. and M.A. from Bob Jones University. In 1973, Billy joined Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC), 

heading up their Korea division. In his 35-year tenure as president he started with a single station and expanded 

to a network of ten stations that boldly proclaims Christ each day for a total of 242 hours in Korean, 

Chinese, English, Japanese and Russian. Currently, he serves as chairman of the FEBC-Korea board. 

Billy’s influence also extends into the social-political sphere on an international level, having ministered to 

presidents in the American White House and the Korean Blue House. He has been decorated twice by Korean 

presidents for Mass Media Achievements and for improving international diplomacy between Korea, China 

and Russia. 

During Friday’s commencement ceremony, Dr. Kim will receive an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree for 

distinction in pastoral service. 

Joni earecKson tada | Undergraduate Commencement Speaker 

After a diving accident in 1967 left her paralyzed from the neck down, Joni understood the needs of the disabled 

and emerged from rehabilitation determined to help those with disabilities. 

In 1979, Joni founded Joni and Friends (JAF), which she now leads as Chief Executive Officer. After almost 

two decades of growth, JAF is now the Joni and Friends International Disability Center whose vision is to accelerate 

Christian ministry in the disability community. 

Her work as an international advocate for people with disabilities has led her to roles on the National Council 

on Disability and the Disability Advisory Committee to the U.S. State Department. She is also Senior Associate 

for Disability Concerns for the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization and serves in an advisory 

capacity to many other organizations for the disabled. 

During Saturday’s commencement ceremony, Joni will receive an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree for 

distinction in public service.

Contemporary academic dress is clearly derived from the robes 

worn by teachers in European medieval universities and is based 

upon clerical garb, since the clergy were the first university teachers. 

Today, academic dress does not serve its original functions of 

providing warmth and/or distinguishing one’s religious order, but it 

does serve to identify the degree held, field of study and the university 

from which the wearers received their advanced degrees. 

The American university robe comes in different shapes to identify 

its wearer as holder of the Bachelor, Master or Doctor degree (three 

velvet stripes on each sleeve further identify the doctoral robe) and 

is usually a closed gown in black. The foreign university robe is often 

open in the front and is frequently found in the Doctor version in a 

color other than black, such as red.

aCaDemiC Dress 

The Colors 

of The fielDs of sTuDy 

It is possible for the skilled observer to decipher the degree held 

from the robe and also to discern the subject area and the university 

of its wearer according to the mix of colors on the hood. The velvet 

band around the neck of the hood is frequently colored according 

to the scheme below to indicate academic area, and the lining of 

the hood appears with the official colors of the degree-granting 

institution. 

Caps and tassels also vary. Most American and many foreign universities 

employ the black mortarboard, while some American and 

foreign universities are further identified with unusual shapes and 

types of caps. The tassels are usually black, although some universities 

vary there also, employing silver and gold.

Biola University traces its origins to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles established in 1908 

by Lyman Stewart, founder and president of the Union Oil Company, and the Rev. T.C. 

Horton, two men of extraordinary vision and commitment to Christian higher education. 

Dedicated to combating the moral decay and faithless liberalism of their day, Stewart and 

Horton established the Institute to educate and equip men and women with a relevant 

Christianity that would impact society at home and abroad. The Institute’s influence was 

felt along the entire Western Seaboard from Mexico to Canada and across the Pacific to 

China. By 1909, over 540 extension courses were sponsored by the Bible Institute. 

The following decades produced immense growth, development and outreach. The school 

moved from a two-year to a four-year program offering degrees in theology, Christian 

education, sacred music, and a one-year program in missionary medicine. By 1949, the 

Bible Institute had become a flourishing Bible College and in 1952 launched Talbot 

Theological Seminary to further serve the Christian community. In 1959, Biola received 

accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. 

In the ensuing years, Biola College broadened its curricula in the arts, sciences, professions, 

and seminary offerings while maintaining its strong foundation in biblical studies. 

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the program base further expanded, and in 1977 the 

Rosemead Graduate School of Professional Psychology was acquired. 

Biola College became Biola University on July 1, 1981, composed of the School of Arts 

and Sciences, Rosemead School of Psychology, and Talbot School of Theology. The School 

of Intercultural Studies, with its outstanding program in world missions, was established 

in 1983 and renamed the Cook School of Intercultural Studies in 2009. The School of 

Business was added in 1993 and renamed the Crowell School of Business in 2007. The 

School of Professional Studies was added in 1994 and a seventh school, the School of 

Education was added in 2007. 

Ranked by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education as a Doctoral / Research- 

Intensive Institution, Biola University offers four undergraduate degrees in 33 

undergraduate majors with more than 120 emphases, 17 master’s degrees and eight 

distinct doctoral degrees. With an outstanding faculty, the University has distinguished 

itself in scholarship and academic excellence.

Experiential programming is a hallmark of Biola University. National and international 

opportunities are available where students live and learn in diverse cultural settings. 

Some of the programs are University-based, while others are held in conjunction with 

the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Domestic programs are 

offered in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Berkeley, New York City, Utah and Colorado 

Springs. Students also have the opportunity to study internationally in Australia, Costa 

Rica, Egypt, Uganda, Oxford, London, Russia, New Zealand and Honduras. Educational 

programs are offered in Thailand, Lithuania and Ukraine, and exchange programs are 

maintained with schools in Korea and Japan. 

Biola continues to affirm its commitment to creating significant academic programs that 

engage our community with some of the most influential thinkers of our time, while assuring 

the spiritual and moral development of our students. Examples include the Master of Arts 

degrees in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, Christian Apologetics and Organizational 

Leadership. 

Since 1908, Biola has stood as a beacon of hope for the intellectual, spiritual and moral 

growth of its students. As the only national university to require a Christian commitment 

of its faculty, students and staff, Biola University is building on its legacy of impacting the 

world for the Lord Jesus Christ. 


The role of the Board of Trustees of Biola University is to serve as 

faithful stewards of the mission of the institution, and to serve 

God and Biola by lending the unique talents and experience of each 

individual as part of a team.
