BELHAVEN UNIVERSITY M ISSION STATEM ENT

Belhaven University prepares students academically and spiritually to serve Christ Jesus in their careers, in human relationships, and in the world of ideas.

Belhaven University affirms the Lordship of Christ over all aspects of life, acknowledges the Bible as the foundational authority for the development of a personal worldview, and recognizes each individual's career as a calling from God. Each academic department is committed to high academic goals for its students and clarifies the implications of biblical truth for its discipline. Belhaven upholds these commitments in offering undergraduate or graduate programs, by conventional or technological delivery modes, and in local, national, and international venues. The University requires a liberal arts foundation in each undergraduate degree program, in order to best prepare students to contribute to a diverse, complex, and fast-changing world.

By developing servant leaders who value integrity, compassion, and justice in all aspects of their lives, the University prepares people to serve, not to be served.

FACULTY ACADEM IC APPAREL

Academic regalia lend dignity and pageantry to University ceremonial occasions, and reveals academic achievements through styles of gowns, hoods, and varying colors. The custom of distinctive dress for academic ceremonies dates to the Middle-Ages.

In the 12th century, Universities took form under the jurisdiction of the church. Most of those studying were clerks in holy orders, monks, or priests. They wore woolen cloaks in unheated quarters. Attached to the cloaks were cowls or hoods, used for warmth in winter or thrown back in mild weather.

Traditionally, commencement gowns have been black. In recent years, however, a number of Universities have adopted other hues that signify the school’s traditional colors. Hoods are the most significant conveyors of degree identification. The color of the velvet border represents the discipline, such as: arts, white; philosophy, dark blue; education, light blue; theology or divinity, red; medicine, green; science, yellow; law, purple. Investiture with the hood signifies the conferral of the degree. The cap worn almost universally in academic processions is the Oxford cap, better known as the mortarboard. Another style, called the Cambridge cap, resembles a large beret.

The president wears a green and gold academic robe representing the University colors. The chain holding his medallion is adorned with past Verses of the Year.

A Service of Praise & Celebration Honoring the Accomplishments of the Class of 2011 Saturday, April 30, 2011 10:30 a.m.

Belhaven University is pleased to have family and friends join in today’s celebration with our graduates. If infants or children become restless or noisy, we ask that you would assist them to the lobby of the auditorium to avoid distracting others.

As a successful artist in Japan and the U.S., Makoto Fujimura has emerged as a voice of authority on the nature and cultural assessment of beauty, by both creating it and exploring its forms. Recognized by both faith-based (Christianity Today, W ORLD Magazine) and secular (MSNBC, W all Street Journal, Forbes) media as a cultural influencer, Mako’s contributions consistently challenge the traditional boundaries between the art and faith communities. A Presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts (2003-2009), Mako has contributed internationally as an advocate for the arts, speaking with decision makers and influencers and advising governmental policies on the arts, both in the U.S. and abroad. In 2009, upon completion of his six-year term on the National Council, Mako was awarded the Chairman’s Medal.

In addition to his paintings, Mako’s essays and books have expanded the dialogue about faith, art and culture. His first book, River Grace (International Arts Movement, 2007) is an intimate, autobiographical look at his early years as an artist in Japan. In a refreshingly transparent account, Mako recalls discovering Nihonga, the ancient style of painting that would become his trademark, and being awakened to a longing for "higher transcendence through the extravagant materials" Nihonga employs. Yet it was not until reluctantly accompanying his new bride to church that he found the Object and Source of his longing, and this faith has become the cornerstone of his art, marriage and, indeed, entire life.

Mako’s second book, Refractions: A Journey of Faith, Art and Culture (NavPress 2009), is collection of essays, thoughts, and prayers, bringing people of all backgrounds together in conversation and meditation on culture, art, and humanity.

Mako’s work is on exhibit at galleries around the world, including Sara Tecchia and Dillon Galleries (New York), Sen Gallery (Tokyo), Contemporary Museum of Tokyo, Tokyo National University of Fine Arts Museum and Oxford House, Taiku Place (Hong Kong). His acclaim as an artist has earned Mako the respect of curators and collectors, including Emmy-award winning actress Patricia Heaton, of Everybody Loves Raymond and Back to You. Mako has painted live on stage at New York’s legendary Carnegie Hall in collaboration with composer and percussionist Susie Ibarra and the American Composer’s Orchestra, and in 2009, he addressed the Aspen Institute gathering in Colorado.

Of all of his many accomplishments in the arts world, the achievement Mako is most proud of is the growth of International Arts Movement, the non-profit arts organization he founded. In the sixteen years that IAM has been around, Mako has mentored countless young artists and has created a space for artists who are passionate about faith issues to wrestle with the hard questions they face as artists and creative catalysts. Many view the annual IAM Encounter as the only event of its kind, gathering established and emerging artists and influencers for three days in New York City, laying an invaluable philosophical and theological groundwork for facilitating discussions of art, faith and culture through lecturers (Dana Gioia, Miroslov Volf, Jeremie Begbie), workshops and innovative performances.

Mako and his wife, Judy, have three children and live in a lower Manhattan loft.

BELHAVEN ALM A M ATER

Belhaven, like a faithful presence, So oft along thy tranquil lake, Shall thy beauty be; Among the wooded lanes; Thru distant years to breathe the essence, W e’ve known a peace no years can take, Of our love for thee. A peace no time profanes. W e love thy stately pine tree, Thru other paths less lovely, Thy stainless Cherokee, Thru other ways more steep, Like that clear glow so may we grow, W here service leads for mankind’s needs, As strong and stainless we. Thy calmness shall we keep.

Chorus Belhaven, Belhaven W e shall not wholly part, This dear green hill shall bind us still To God and thee in heart.

“GUIDE M E, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH”

Guide me, O Thou Great Jehovah Open now the crystal fountain, Pilgrim through this barren land; W hence the healing stream doth flow; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Let the fire and cloudy pillar, Hold me with Thy powerful hand. Lead me all my journey thro’. Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven Strong Deliv’rer, Strong Deliv’rer Feed me till I want no more, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield, Feed me till I want no more. Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
