We’re honored to celebrate 169 graduates receiving their undergraduate and master’s degrees at Tabor College’s 116th Commencement. We’re also thankful that so many of you, their family and friends, traveled to campus to make it a memory that will last a lifetime.
To find your graduate, select the degree title to see their name and recognition. Additionally, all minors are listed in italics.
Replays of both ceremonies are available:
- Undergraduate Ceremony (10 a.m.)
- Master’s Ceremony (2 p.m.)
Ceremony Photography
Tabor College has professional photographers throughout the Shari Flaming Center for the Arts. They are taking photos of the processional, recessional, and graduates receiving their diplomas (on-stage and backstage portrait). Photographs will be available via Flickr within a week of Commencement. They are free of charge. Families may take photos behind the stanchions in the Richert Auditorium.
Redeemed of God Lyrics
Redeemed of God, come let us sing, In Praise to Jesus Christ, our King.
He is the Lord eternally; Live by His Word, walk faithfully.
Trust Him for He will be our guide; In ev’ry need in Him confide.
His grace and love will never fail, His blood and righteousness avail.
O Lord, we trust You, follow You. Your life is pure, Your Word is true.
In living, Lord, as You have willed, We are at peace, we are fulfilled.
O Holy Spirit, guide our ways; Teach us to serve, teach us to praise.
Beloved of God, come share His love, Empowered by the Lord above.
All glory be to Christ our Lord, Forever be His name adored.
In praise to Jesus Christ, our King, Redeemed of God, come let us sing.

Academic Regalia
The procession of faculty in academic dress, a higher education tradition, draws its meaning from the medieval universities. The system of academic dress worn in the United States originated at Columbia University in 1895. The three types of black gowns symbolize the bachelor’s degree, the master’s degree, and the doctor’s degree. The master’s gown is distinguished by the slit sleeve, which allows part of the arm to be exposed. The doctoral gown is faced with velvet and three velvet bars trim each sleeve.
The color of the satin lining of the hood represents the institution that granted the highest degree. Hoods are bound in velvet of the discipline color of the degrees: Arts, Letters, Humanities-white; Commerce, Accountancy, Business-drab; Education- light blue; Fine Arts-brown; Library Science-lemon; Music-pink; Nursing-apricot; Philosophy-dark blue; Physical Education- sage green; Public Health- salmon pink; Science-golden yellow; Theology-scarlet.
Graduation Disclaimer
Please note that participation in the Commencement ceremony does not necessarily indicate degree completion. Upon completion, students will receive an official Tabor College diploma, and the degree will be posted on the academic transcript. Names of graduates and honors earned are accurate as of noon on April 30, 2026.
