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 marshal 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 marshals 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.

The Kusters currently live in New Ulm, Minnesota, and are members of Peace Lutheran Church in North Mankato, Minnesota.
Judy is a graduate of Bethany High School in 1962, and attended Bethany Lutheran College before transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, earning a bachelor and master of

Commencement SpeakerDr. Dan Bruss served as the ninth president of Bethany Lutheran College from 2003 to
2015. This was a time of rapid expansion of the baccalaureate programming, both in terms of number of majors and supporting programs such as study abroad and the transition of athletics into NCAA Division III. Edgewood Place apartments and Honsey Hall were also constructed during this time.
Dr. Bruss received an associate in arts degree from Bethany Lutheran College, a bachelor of arts in biology from Augsburg College, and a master of arts in chemistry from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He began his academic career in 1975 as a chemistry instructor at Bethany, leaving in 1981 to pursue his doctorate in chemistry from Montana State University.
Dr. Bruss was an assistant professor of chemistry at Albany College of Pharmacy in Albany, New York, from 1985-1990, where he earned the “Distinguished Teacher of the Year” award in 1989. He then spent twelve years (1990-2002) teaching chemistry at Central College in Pella, Iowa. In addition to attaining the title of full professor, he held a variety of leadership roles and received awards for institutional service and support of international education.
Dr. Bruss successfully combined his teaching career with research and collaborated with academic, government and private sector laboratories. He has been published in a variety of peer-reviewed academic journals.
A supporter of community and state initiatives, Dr. Bruss has served on a number of not-for-profit boards. He is currently a member of the Executive Committee of the Blue Earth County Historical Society.
A native of Franklin, Wisconsin, Dr. Bruss and his wife Kathy, also a graduate of Bethany, are the parents of two grown children who both attended Bethany, and have two granddaughters. In retirement Dr. Bruss has enjoyed having a flexible schedule and the ability to pursue some new adventures.

All those who trust in Christ are blest
And find in Him eternal rest;
This world’s allurements we despise
And fix on Christ alone our eyes.
Through Him we heirs of heav’n are made;
O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid
That we may firmly trust in Thee,
And through Thee live eternally.
O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend,
Be with us till our journey’s end.
In mercy guide us by Thy grace
Till we behold Thy glorious face.
Though Satan rage, His pow’r is gone
His thundering roar can harm us none
Our strong Defender hurls him down,
And wins for us a heav’nly crown.

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 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.
