Class of 2012 ushers in commencement week changes
In seven days, more than 800 graduates will walk across the stage of the FMA and collect their long-awaited diplomas. On that one day—the culmination of years of academic work—they’ll celebrate their accomplishment with family and friends.
Non-graduating students will also celebrate with their friends before traveling to their summer work or ministry.
