The graduates chose Fjaere Harder of Mountain Lake, Minn., and Eric Bixler of Indianapolis, Ind., to serve as student speakers.
June Alliman Yoder, professor of communication and preaching at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Ind., offered the commencement address. "There is no well-worn path for those who would follow Jesus," Yoder said. "It is the higher road, the less-traveled road. My desire for you is that you would choose this less-traveled road where there is no path, that you would find joy in the journey, and that God will bless you with traveling mercies."
