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!

Message from the in terim 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 in- tellectual, 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,
Patricia L. Pike Interim Provost

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 ex- panded 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 dis- abled 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 ac- celerate 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 Associ- ate 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.

Commencement Spring 2010 | 51 Hs i torical Sketch
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.
52 | Biola University 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.
