“Our entire culture benefits when role models exhibit the virtues that inspire and stimulate persons to contribute their best efforts for the welfare of their neighbors, their community, and their country. Miss America 2009 Katie Stam is such a role model,” said Dr. Dean O. Wenthe, the seminary’s president. “The seminary is delighted to host her and to invite the community to hear her.”
