104th Goshen College
Commencement
May 26, 2002
asking questions,
questioning answers,
shaping voices
Poet
and professor Julia Spicher Kasdorf 85 told the 249 Goshen
College graduates to love the mutilated world in which
we live, telling its stories honestly.
At GCs 104th Commencement, the Pennsylvania State University
professor focused on the post-Sept. 11 world. How can you
graduate and go out into this world? she asked. What
other world do you have in mind?
Kasdorf praised the class theme of Asking Questions, Questioning
Answers, Shaping Voices
Now more than ever, your
ability to think and feel for yourself is essential, because during
wartime, the ideologies of the left and the right and the righteous
become more pronounced and dogmatic.
Graduates hailed from 22 states and 17 countries, including Elijah
Metekai, 29, of Olosho-oibor, Kenya, who became the second member
of his nomadic Masaai village to graduate from a U.S. college or
university; Metekais mother, two brothers, a cousin and a
friend traveled from the small village in the Ngong Hills to celebrate;
ticket prices for each voyager meant selling eight or nine cows
a piece.
