Saturday, the Sixth Day of May Two Thousand Twenty-Three at Ten O’clock in the Morning and Two O’Clock in the Afternoon Class of 2023 The 127th Annual C O M M E N C E M E N T C e d a r v i l l e U n i v e r s i t y of Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19–20 ESV
Dear Class of 2023, One thousand days. For our undergraduates, four years ago, we met together at Getting Started Weekend, and there we outlined what your approximately 1,000 days at Cedarville would be made up of. We celebrated the start of a new, exciting chapter in your life. And now, among your family, friends, faculty, and staff, we’re celebrating once again. This time we celebrate your achievement of becoming a college graduate. For our graduate students, we celebrate your completion of an important next step in furthering your career and impact for Jesus Christ. Think about all of your classes. All of your conversations you’ve had with professors who love you and care greatly for your future. All those late nights in the dorm with the friends you’ve made at Brock, Printy, and The Hill, to name a few. Many, many meals at Chick-Fil-A — maybe some at Stinger’s too. And, of course, around five hundred times of gathering together in chapel, singing, hearing God’s Word preached, and seeing firsthand how that Word has changed so many lives. While here, you made friends for life, and some of you met that special someone whom you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. For others, it was here that you learned what you’re good at — what you enjoy, and you are about to embark on an exciting vocation. And there are those in this room who, by God’s grace, experienced the greatest joy of all — repenting of your sins and placing your trust in Christ Jesus for your salvation. We have experienced many significant milestones together within a relatively short period of time. Yet, as Christians, we don’t believe time is something to be trifled with, something to be wasted. “Make the best use of the time,” the Apostle Paul tells us. That’s what we’ve aimed to do while you’ve been here. We’ve sought to prepare you for your vocational calling. We’ve moved to inspire you to think deeply through our liberal arts core. We’ve built your experience around a community of fellow-believers, whom you’ve lived with, shared meals with, enjoyed Alt-Nights with, and gone to church with. Above it all, our highest goal with these past 1,000 days has been to set you on a trajectory to glorify God in all that you do. Ultimately, that’s all that matters. Our hope is that you’ve been steeped in the wisdom of God’s Word here, so that you can remain in it and proclaim it when you go out there — to the uttermost parts of the earth. For our graduate students, you have persevered through your coursework while maintaining full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and ministries within your church and community. We are proud of your diligence and are confident that your hard work will pay off vocationally as well as in Kingdom impact. So, graduates, my encouragement to you on this last day of your Cedarville experience is the verse that carried me through my first year here — “Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Josh. 1:7–9). Come back to see us and know that we will always be here for you, praying that you will stand with compassionate conviction for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ In Christ, Thomas White, PhD President, Cedarville University A Letter to Our Graduates

Hawkins Northfield, OH Ruth Kempton Lititz, PA David Lodwick Bradenton, FL Lorne Scharnberg Des Moines, IA Albert Stevens Long Beach Township, NJ The colorful academic regalia dates from the first European universities in the Middle Ages. Academic costume has been in use in the United States since colonial times and is traditionally used for graduation convocations. The mortarboard is the standard cap. The tassel color, as established by an intercollegiate commission, indicates the subject field. arts, history, letters, languages.............................. white business, commerce. ............................................ drab communication. .................................................. silver gray criminal justice.................................................... navy blue education............................................................. light blue engineering.......................................................... orange fine arts................................................................ dark brown journalism. .......................................................... maroon music................................................................... pink nursing................................................................ apricot philosophy........................................................... royal blue physical education, allied health. ......................... sage green religion................................................................ scarlet science, mathematics, psychology. ....................... golden yellow social work, political science, public administration..................................... citron doctor of arts....................................................... gold doctor of education. ............................................ gold doctor of pharmacy. ............................................ olive green doctor of philosophy. .......................................... gold doctor of theology. .............................................. gold The length of the hood and the width of the velvet indicate the level of the degree. The doctor’s hood is quite long, has two tails, and has five-inch-wide velvet. The master’s hood is shorter than the doctor’s and has three-inch-wide velvet. The bachelor’s hood is shorter yet and has two-inch-wide velvet. The color of the velvet indicates the field of study. Blue indicates a doctoral degree. Dark brown indicates a Master of Arts degree. White indicates a Bachelor of Arts or a Master of Arts degree. Scarlet indicates a Bachelor of Divinity degree or a Master of Divinity degree. Yellow indicates a Bachelor of Science degree. The colors in the lining of the hood are the university colors. The gown’s traditional color is black. The distinguishing feature of the master’s gown is the tippet sleeve. The doctor’s gown has two distinguishing features. It is cut much fuller than the bachelor’s or the master’s gown and has velvet panels on the sleeves, around the neck, and down the front. These panels may be black or the color that symbolizes the subject field in which the degree was earned. Some regalia represent academic awards that have been conferred from universities outside the United States, notably from Europe. Universities in Europe have not undergone the standardization in academic dress that was introduced in the United States. Each European university retains the right to design unique and distinctive regalia for its graduates. This results in a wide variety of hood and gown colors. The crest of the university may be woven into the hood or panels in the gown. Gowns are worn open, and formal attire is worn underneath the gown; women wear black skirts and white blouses, while men wear a formal suit or national costume.

The University Seal Adopted in 1894, the seal reflects the commitment of the first Board of Trustees to the cause of Christ. Prominently displayed on the seal are the words “PRO CORONA ET FOEDERE CHRISTI,” translated “For the Crown and the Covenant of Christ,” aswell as a crown to signifyHis preeminence. The trustees desired to emphasize that Christ was the One for whom Cedarville College existed. The board of the Baptist Bible Institute, after taking over the operation of Cedarville in 1953, retained the original seal of the college, acknowledging that the desire of Cedarville’s founders was theirs as well. They then surrounded the seal with the motto of the Baptist Bible Institute, “For the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ,” to visually remind those who observed the seal of the common commitment by both institutions to Jesus Christ. The seal was updated in 2000 when Cedarville College became Cedarville University.
