Graduation Day--Bakke Graduate University

The big day has come. This Raymond J. Bakke medal was presented to all graduates completing the Doctor of Ministry degree at a brunch this morning. I completed my dissertation a month ago and passed my oral defense of my thesis a couple weeks ago so this was a great culmination of a five year process.

Graduation was great. BGU did it up right. Reid Carpenter from Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation was the keynote and did a great job capturing the moment. Liz and I have had a great time here in Seattle. I'll blog more on my reflections of my experience at BGU in my next entry.
