WelcomeWe welcome you to this ceremony of commencement at Bethany Lutheran College. We are proud of these graduates,

confident that they have grown both intellectually and spiritually during their days here. Your presence at this milestone in their lives is another sign of your support and love, which has continued over many years, and which we know they deeply appreciate. It is our prayer that Bethany Lutheran College, and especially the lessons learned here, will remain in the lives of these young men and women on whichever paths they are led by the Lord.

Order of ProcessionThe commencement ceremony begins with the procession of participants. The chair of the faculty assembly leads the

procession carrying the college mace, followed by the college president and the officiants, including the dean of academic affairs, a member of the board of regents, and the chaplain. The graduation marshall follows the officiants and leads the rest of the procession. The emeriti lead the faculty, who march in order of seniority, and the graduates follow the faculty. Banners are carried by junior marshalls and represent the various academic divisions of the college.

Academic ApparelToday’s graduates and faculty members are wearing ceremonial regalia that conform to traditions and practices of the

academy. The graduates are wearing black gowns with an open pointed sleeve. Ceremony participants with advanced or terminal degrees wear gowns that represent their earned degree. Those holding a master’s degree wear a gown with an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The oblong shape is square cut in the back, the front section tailored with an arc cut. Those who have earned a doctorate wear a gown distinguished by velvet trim on the front facings and three stripes on the sleeves. This trim may be black or may have color identifying the individual’s major field of academic achievement.

Ceremonial regalia also includes academic hoods. The size and cut of the academic hood indicates the level and type of degree an individual holds. The lining of the hood, in Bethany’s case red and white, indicates the school colors and the outer velvet trim indicates the bachelor of arts degree. As with the bachelor’s hood, the master’s and doctor’s hoods have the same color designations in the lining of the school where the degree was earned and velvet trim indicating the field in which the degree is held.

Photography & VideoProfessional photography and video will be taken at today’s ceremony. Bethany will be sending one 4"x 6" photograph

to each graduate. Candid photographs from the ceremony will be available to download and a video link will be available from the commencement web page: www.blc.edu/commencement.

Val Imm Bashour of Dallas is the recipient of the 2016 Distinguished Alumna Award. Imm Bashour, a Mankato native, graduated from Bethany in 1947. Her career in journalism

began while she was a student at Bethany, working for her father’s newspaper, the Mankato News. After attending Bethany, Imm Bashour found work at a fashion magazine based in New York. She also taught for a time in the Adirondacks.

Imm Bashour’s life changed significantly when she decided to move to the Dallas/Forth Worth area. It was there in Dallas that Imm Bashour’s career began to move forward.

She worked in advertising for Town North Magazine and held a position as fashion editor for Dallas Fashion Manufacturers. Her work for the Fashion Manufacturers eventually caught the eye of the the Dallas Times-Herald, and she was hired as a society reporter for the newspaper.

Her journalism career in Dallas was one of substance, being honored with writing awards. She was awarded for her society coverage and for headlines she wrote. While her position as society reporter and eventually editor brought memorable moments and brushes with fame, her writing was so much more than coverage of celebrity; it was focused on humanity, on sociology. Her writing was both excellent and powerful. She was awarded for her reporting about abused and neglected children. It was her writing that prompted the Dallas city government to investigate its social welfare system and subsequently make changes to the organization.

Imm married Fouad A. Bashour, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwest Medical Center. Together they founded the Fouad A. and Val Imm Bashour Distinguished Chair in Physiology at UT Southwest and also supported a variety of charitable causes in the Dallas area.

While the demands of traveling keep Imm from visiting her hometown often, she did visit Bethany in 2008 to meet with students and establish scholarships at Bethany in communication, English and religious studies.

Bashour continues to live in Dallas. She was widowed in 2003. She remains active with a variety of charitable causes and is a member of Believer’s Chapel in Grapevine, Texas.

Commencement SpeakerJim Minor grew up in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. He earned a bachelor

of science degree in secondary education with a double major in history and geography from St. Cloud State University in 1969. While he was offered a teaching job upon graduation at a time when teaching jobs were scarce, instead, he decided to pursue a career in human resources management. An opportunity was presented to him in the recording music industry and he spent twenty-five years in this exciting and rewarding business. During those years he was always an active volunteer in his work community. He participated in the 70001 Project providing GED diplomas for high school dropouts and the DECCA program in Hopkins, Minnesota, teaching occupational skills to non-college-bound students.

Minor served on the board of directors for seventeen years at People Serving People, the largest homeless shelter in the Midwest. Many of those years he served as chairman and the last seven years as the president/CEO. He retired in 2010 after a very satisfying career.

Minor also served six years in the Minnesota National Guard for the 135th Infantry Division in Stillwater, Minnesota, attaining the rank of Second Lieutenant.

He is a lifelong member of King of Grace Lutheran Church in Golden Valley, Minnesota. He has served King of Grace in several volunteer positions including Sunday school teacher and director, board member and congregational chairman, chairman of the building committee, and delegate to the Evangelical Lutheran Synod convention.

Minor and his wife, Terry, have been married forty-eight years and currently reside in Danbury, Wisconsin. Although they did not attend Bethany, they have close family ties to the College. Their two daughters, Tiann Madson and Alissa Oleck are both graduates of Bethany. He has thoroughly enjoyed being on the Bethany Lutheran College Board of Regents for the past eleven years, currently serving as chair of the Investment Committee and Advancement Committee, and is secretary of the Finance/Audit Committee. The Minors have been blessed with four grandchildren.

Board of Regents

A Brief History of BethanyIn 1911, Bethany Ladies College opened with forty-four students, four faculty members, and a mission to educate

young women. In 1927, the Norwegian Synod, later known as the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS), purchased the college. The ELS operated the school as a co-educational high school and junior college until 1969, when the high school department was closed. Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary began in 1946 as a department of the college; in 1975 it became a separate institution.

In May 1996, the Board of Regents resolved to move Bethany from an associate to a baccalaureate degree-granting institution. In the spring of 2001, Bethany awarded its first baccalaureate degrees.

Mission StatementBethany Lutheran College, owned and operated by the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, is a private, residential, liberal

arts college committed to the teachings of the Bible as set forth in the Lutheran Confessions. Bethany provides studies culminating in a bachelor of arts degree. The college serves Lutherans and others by offering a challenging, student-centered approach to education that fosters spiritual development, intellectual and creative growth, self-understanding, and responsible citizenship. In keeping with its heritage, Bethany aspires to produce students with a clear understanding of Christian vocation, which encourages students to make the most of their God-given talents.

College SealThe college seal, which appears on the cover of this program, was made official by a resolution of the Board of Regents

in 1932. The idea of the college seal originated with Ruth Seidel, who was an instructor at Bethany, and her artist brother, Wilbur Seidel of Chicago, who furnished the detailed drawing.

The seal is distinctive and most appropriate. The inscription “ENOS ESTIN CREIA” is Greek and means “One Thing Is Needful,” the words of Christ spoken to Martha at that first Bethany. The “One Thing Needful” is the Gospel of the crucified Savior, expressed by the cross upon which the inscription is placed. For Bethany Lutheran College we thereby declare that there is no true education, even as there is no salvation, without the Gospel of Christ, Son of God and Savior of the world from sin. That Gospel is, and must remain, the heart and soul of every educational effort at our beloved institution. The cross is encircled by a star with twelve points, upon which are shown rays of light extending from the cross. As the twelve apostles were commissioned to be bearers of the light from the cross, so the goal of our training at Bethany must not be our own advancement, but the spread of the Gospel.

MaceThe college mace is a symbol of power or authority. Its origins can be traced to early medieval times when it was

literally an instrument of power as a war club. It eventually evolved into the ceremonial scepter of monarchs. For colleges and universities it symbolizes the authority to grant degrees given to the faculty by the state or church. The mace is carried by the chair of the faculty assembly.

The mace was designed and carved by Bethany art professor Eric Ouren. The wooden cross at the top of the mace is carved from one of the “Koshkonong Oaks.” The first Norwegian Lutheran worship service in America was conducted under the oak trees by Lake Koshkonong near Madison, Wisconsin, in 1844. The shaft of the mace has three bands over what looks to be “roots” connecting the top to the bottom. This is reminiscent of Scandinavian/Viking carving, something that connects Bethany to the old world and its Norwegian-American cultural origins. At the base of the shaft is a small piece of the old Bethany gates. These gates had been part of the foundation of a planned conservatory next to Old Main that was never finished. Inset in the top of the mace is a bronze casting of the college seal.

MedallionThe presidential medallion signifies the authority of the college’s chief executive. The college president wears the

medallion at commencement, opening service, and other times when academic apparel are appropriate. The medallion is hand tooled, cast in oxidized bronze and hand polished. It measures 3-5/8 inches in diameter with a decorative bezel around the three-inch medallion. The presidential medallion hangs on a bronze chain individually listing the past presidents of the college on a small metal banner. The current president’s banner is in the center above the medallion, and is separated from those of past presidents by leaf clusters. The seal of Bethany Lutheran College is engraved on the front side of the medallion.
