Jett also told the graduates they need to continue asking questions.
"Remember, OBU graduates, it doesn't matter what you were; it matters what you've become," he said.
In his charge to the graduates, OBU President David W. Whitlock encouraged them to celebrate the day and consider what they have learned.
