On the ninth of May, 2025, the University of Valley Forge (UVF) held its 86th annual Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies and conferred degrees on the class of 2025. Students, family, and friends gathered in the Flower Chapel at 10 a.m. for a time of worship and a baccalaureate message from Professor Dominick Garcia and seniors Anthony Andreano ’25 and Danielle Horne ’25. Rev. Jennifer Gale, Vice President of Student Life, greeted those present and opened the service in prayer before a time of worship and the message. In keeping with the tradition of UVF’s baccalaureate services, the three speakers spoke about the legacy of the past, present, and future, and the faithfulness of God throughout.
During Commencement, President David J. Kim introduced commencement speaker, Kathleen Terragnoli (affectionately known as “Kathy T”). Kathy served faithfully for four decades (1976-2016) at UVF. Her journey included roles as Resident Assistant, Women’s Volleyball and Basketball Coach, Christian Service Secretary, and Dean of Women/Housing Director. For her final three decades, she served as Assistant Professor and Academic Counselor, teaching primarily in Arts and Sciences while also contributing to the Bible and Music Departments. Kathy congratulated the class of 2025 for their accomplishments and taking a step of faith into their future.
After Kathy’s message , Dr. Todd Guevin and President Kim presented each graduate with their respective graduate or undergraduate degree. These graduates have now joined the mission of thousands of other University of Valley Forge alumni to live a life of service and leadership in the church and in the world.
