State Representative Ben Lien, a 2008 MSUM political science graduate, will deliver the commencement address. His district, 4A, is comprised of the city of Moorhead and Oakport Township. Lien will serve his second term in the Legislature after his re-election in 2014.

He grew up in Moorhead, attended Moorhead Senior High School and graduated from Minnesota State University Moorhead. During the last legislative session, he served on the House of Representatives Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee. He would like to continue serving on the Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee because of his passion for higher education as a driver of personal success for students and economic development for his district.
