45 Graduates. 8 From Africa. 15 from North America. 2 from Europe. 8 from The Caribbean. 3 in BGU’s Spanish Latin American program. 9 from Asia, including 5 in BGU’s Korean language program. With projects from business startups to urban impact projects these graduates have been working on big action-oriented initiatives.
Every doctoral or master’s student who does the hard work to graduate has a story. There is something that drives them to work on their dissertation or capstone project. They discovered surprises along the way. BGU requires all students to have a project that is not just an academic exercise, but it must practically transform something they care deeply about. Their story is just beginning with graduation. They are committed to a lifetime of being transformed as they transform others.
At the link below is a list of BGU students graduating in the June 6, 2026 ceremony in Dallas and the title of their projects with advisor comments and summaries.
“I didn’t think reading a list of dissertation titles would be this interesting.”
Please pray for any of the people on this list who created curiosity or inspired you. They are launching on a lifelong journey prepared and motivated to make a difference.
This time of year marks BGU's fiscal year end, bringing with it an important opportunity to support the BGU family through year-end donations. Many members of the BGU team are putting in extra effort to ensure oral reviews are completed, dissertations are published, and all travel and graduation logistics are handled smoothly. Any amount is appreciated. Please prayerfully consider giving at https://bgu.edu/giving.
Thank you.
