Joy To The world
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing, and heaven,
and Heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let all their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills,
and plains Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy, repeat,
Repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love, and wonders,
Wonders of His love.

Message froM the
PresIdenT
Welcome to Fall Commencement at Biola University, and congratulations to all of our graduates for a job well
done. This day represents the culmination of years of hard work and perseverance in the area of study to which
the Lord has called you. It also is a moment you are able to celebrate those who stood by you along the way.
Your family, friends, faculty and others have been a part of your journey. Though you have reached this milestone
in your life, you have not done so alone. As you receive your degree today, my prayer is that you have been
equipped in mind and character to impact the world for Christ. May the relationships that have been formed,
the wisdom you have gained and the knowledge that has been imparted serve you well in the years ahead. You
are a special gift of God to Biola University. Our prayers accompany you as you take this important step in
your journey.

andrew J. Bales
Reverend Andrew J. Bales serves as CEO of Union Rescue Mission which ministers to the homeless commu-
nity of Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. For over 25 years, he has led community outreach programs to
help homeless men and women to leave the streets.
Andy is tackling the challenge of homelessness by developing unique and innovative services. Through partnering
with local communities and organizations, Andy aims to decrease homelessness in Los Angeles by a
significant number within the next seven years. His exemplary community service does not go unnoticed. President
George Bush named Andy the 930th Point of Light in 1992 and in 2004 he received the Martin Luther
King, Jr. Award from the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Pasadena. His work has been featured
on CBS’s 60 Minutes, NBC’s Dateline as well as CNN and various social media outlets.
Currently, Andy is in the final stages of his Doctor of Ministry program at Bakke Graduate School in Seattle,
Washington. He received a B.A. in theology from Bethel College in 1980, an M.A.T. from Drake University
in 1983 and was awarded an honorary doctorate by Pacific Theological Seminary.

Message froM the
ProVosT & senIor VICe PresIdenT
It is an honor to congratulate you, the graduating class, and to present you to President Corey for the awarding of
degrees. This ceremony marks a significant achievement in your lives. You have studied. You have grown. You
have overcome adversity. There were times, I am certain, when you wondered if it was worth it and if you would
be able to manage. Yet here you are. Your walk with God and understanding of His kingdom has matured just as
your awareness of yourself and God’s call on your life has deepened.
Today is a day to celebrate all that you have accomplished. It is a day to say thank you to the friends, staff, faculty
and family that have prayed for you and walked with you along the way. It is also a day to give thanks to God,
the author of life and the giver of every good and perfect gift. May your life continue to resonate with the life of
Christ as this marvelous journey of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus unfolds before you. Continue to grow
in patterns of heart, and of thought, and of action that are the markers of a life hid in God.
May the peace and presence of Christ attend you. Congratulations to you on this day.

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.

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 Spiritual Formation.
As it pursues an ambitious vision for the years ahead, the University continues to be
recognized as a leader in Christian higher education. In 2010, Biola was named one of 28
“up and coming” national universities by U.S. News & World Report, earning a position
in the top tier of the prestigious national rankings. Meanwhile, enrollment eclipsed 6,000
students for the first time, with more students than ever seeking the benefits of a Biola
education.
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.
