Apostle Jim Raley

It’s never too late to finish what you started. Proof of that adage will be on display at this week’s undergraduate Commencement ceremony. That’s when Kerry Lynn will complete an academic journey at Worcester Polytechnic Institute that started in 1972. He’ll walk across the stage to receive his bachelor’s degree 50 years after he first planned. While Lynn entered the university in the Class of 1976, life’s journey made him part of the Class of 2026. “I’ve set graduation goals in the past—graduating alongside my children and so on—but work always intervened,” says Lynn. “Last year, though, I decided it was now or never, and 'never' wasn't an option. I was really determined to finish on the 50th anniversary of my original target.” Since 1972, Lynn’s path has shifted to include a five-decade career and family responsibilities. While juggling it all, he kept chipping away on his WPI degree in computer science. He’d never given up on the goal. “Now that I’m graduating, I hope this accomplishment might inspire even one other person, maybe a fellow student, that there is great value in persistence,” adds Lynn. “I feel persistence is underrated.” 1972–2025 Lynn’s original major was mechanical engineering. He grew up in Connecticut and spent a lot of time around the machine shop his dad, an industrial engineer, had co-founded. In high school, Lynn started to get interested in computers. He was drawn to WPI by its academic program’s focus on project work. “It’s a place where you can chart your own course,” says Lynn. He arrived on campus shortly after faculty approved the WPI Plan in 1970, a bold shift in engineering education that emphasized project-based learning and applying theory to real-world challenges. Lynn left WPI during his second year while still exploring his career path, but his growing interest in computers quickly led him into the emerging tech industry. He worked hands-on with early microcomputers in Connecticut and moved back to Massachusetts in 1982 to resume part-time study at WPI in computer science. As a member of the Boston Computer Society, he attended a 1984 presentation by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs unveiling the Macintosh computer. “That night in Boston was transformative for me,” Lynn says. He and others formed a Macintosh developers’ group on the spot, which Lynn co-led until moving to California in 1987 to join Apple. During his ten years at Apple, he helped develop one of the world’s first wireless local area networks and eventually became an engineering manager in the PowerBooks division. After returning to New England in 2000, Lynn resumed classes at WPI while balancing family life and a career that included roles at Cisco, Verizon Labs, and Oracle. His work contributed to Wi-Fi and internet protocol standards, and he earned 10 patents, including two for wireless network security methods. While in midcareer, he completed a now-discontinued graduation requirement from the original WPI Plan—the competency examination. The requirement culminated in an oral examination conducted by faculty members to determine if a student was well-prepared to enter their chosen profession. Lynn thinks he could be the last person at WPI to graduate under the original version of the WPI Plan, with its competency exam requirement. “During my career, I often didn’t have time to take courses,” says Lynn, who explains the off-and-on approach to completing his required course load. “Graduating has always been at the top of my bucket list, however, so I kept returning to it.” The final academic year In fall 2025, after a layoff accelerated his retirement from full-time work, Lynn decided it was time to make one final push to complete the degree he began decades earlier. While volunteering with Fab Foundation, a nonprofit focused on providing access to and education about digital fabrication tools and technology that supports innovation and creation, he reached out to George Heineman, associate professor of computer science, to explain his goal. “One doesn’t receive such an email every day,” says Heineman, who worked with the registrar and researched old university catalogs with Lynn to determine that he needed to complete a required humanities and arts inquiry seminar (HUA) and a Major Qualifying Project (MQP) to graduate. Heineman became Lynn’s MQP advisor and noted the uniqueness of the project: “As Kerry was writing his MQP report, he found that he had to cite his own work that he did with standards organizations from decades ago. Likely no other undergraduate MQP has had to do the same thing.” For the HUA requirement, Lynn returned to the classroom of David Spanagel, associate professor of humanities and arts, who had taught him years earlier. “While he was in my courses, Kerry enhanced the level of sophistication among our entire classroom learning community because of the philosophical depth of his questions and how authentically he embraced the tasks of understanding our course materials,” says Spanagel. Lynn joined Spanagel’s inquiry seminar and worked with two other undergraduates on a research article examining the impacts of technological disruptions from the 19th century through 2023. Describing his student’s addiction to lifelong learning as “infectious,” Spanagel says, “I have personally witnessed Kerry coming such a long way since we first met in 2010. I am extremely grateful for the wealth of learning that he enabled among every WPI community member with whom he interacted, especially myself.” The gratitude is shared. “I’m grateful to so many faculty members who have helped me over the years,” says Lynn. “I am especially thankful to Professor Spanagel, whose classes have enhanced my understanding of the history of science and technology, and Professor Heineman, who has helped me navigate the details of completing my remaining degree requirements and advised my MQP. I was also pleased to reach out to some of my earlier professors at WPI—Stan Selkow, Bob Kinicki, and Dave Brown—to let them know the finish line is in sight. Lastly, I was delighted to find that Professor Mayer Humi, who I took two classes with decades ago, is still teaching at WPI, and I recently visited him.” Upon Commencement After graduation, Lynn plans to divide his time between volunteering at Fab Foundation and consulting work. With his long-sought-after graduation and computer science degree just days away, Lynn says he is happy his family can attend Commencement to see him graduate, and he hopes to encourage others to stay persistent. “My 98-year-old dad won’t be able to attend, but he’s proud of me for finishing. If my story helps someone get off the fence to go back to school or finish something they started a long time ago, I’ll consider that a win.”

Christa Smith delivered a prophetic message declaring that we are a Josiah generation carrying the torch of revival!

Listen to this message to recognize that you have been named, marked, and mandated by God!

Episode: The House That Heaven Hears and Hell Fears Series: My Church, My House God never intended for prayer to stay in the church building. He intended for prayer to get in the house. In this powerful message from Acts 12, Apostle Raley walks us into a real crisis. A real king. A real prison. A real church. And a real prayer meeting inside a real home. Herod had killed James. Peter was next. But while the enemy was scheming, a house was praying, and everything changed. You'll hear why the miracle didn't start in the prison. It started in the house. You'll learn what it means to "remove the leaven," how to pray with fervency that refuses to quit, and why a praying house becomes a peaceful house, a favored house, and an overcoming house. Stay tuned after the message for a special segment from Apostle Raley: "A Consecrated Casa, How to Pray Over Your Home," where we give you practical, Spirit-led tools to turn your address into an atmosphere Heaven hears and Hell fears. Press play. Take the altar home. Then come back tomorrow and do it again.

Through the story of a man named Obed-Edom, a man nobody else wanted the assignment, we see what happens when a household chooses to honor the presence of God. The blessing that followed was undeniable, comprehensive, and generational. You are not just a church attender. You are the church. And wherever you go, the church goes with you. That means your living room can become a sanctuary. Your dinner table can become an altar. Your home can become a place where Heaven touches earth. Listen. Share it. Somebody in your circle needs this word. CalvaryFL | calvaryfl.com #MyChurchMyHouse #HeavenInMyHouse #CalvaryFL
