CU graduates largest December class in the university's history By Alexandria Swanger, communications assistant, Office of University Communications Campbellsville, KY - Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, told 680 undergraduate and graduate students in two commencement ceremonies Friday, Dec. 7, the largest in the history of the university, to thank those who helped them along their journey and that today will be a day they will remember. A total of 1,653 students received their diplomas for the 2017-18 academic year. Diplomas are given upon completion of all academic requirements. Carter welcomed those attending and told them Dec. 7 was a "very historic day" when soldiers sacrificed tremendously on Pearl Harbor Day Dec. 7, 1941 as Japan attacked the United States leading the U.S. into World War II. "Campbellsville University works to transform the lives of our students and to help them become Christian servant leaders. There are numerous examples of men and women on our campus who are serving this community and world. The choice of a student recipient for the Algernon Sydney Sullivan student award is a difficult choice - and this year's winner is another outstanding choice for the Sullivan award," Carter said. In his charge to the graduates, in the ceremonies in Ransdell Chapel, Carter urged the students to be servant leaders and to live forth the great attributes the Lord has taught us. He told the graduates leaders are those who empower those around them to do greater things than they think possible. He urged them to live the attributes of the university's seal in fellowship, leadership and scholarship. Carter also said not only will there be no increases in tuition for the coming year, but that some program charges will also be reduced. At the 2 p.m. ceremony, Trevor Short of Harrodsburg, Ky., accepted the charge and encouraged graduates to find their purpose going forward into their futures, "Here we are in the present now and waiting for the not yet. We now have purpose. Purpose is the key to life." At the 4 p.m. ceremony, Kyle Arnett of Campbellsville, accepted the charge on behalf of his fellow graduates. In addressing his classmates, Arnett said, "Upon completing your degree, you have proven yourself a worthy individual to go out and make a positive impact in your communities through fellowship, leadership and scholarship." The valedictorian of the undergraduate class was Hope Scott of Campbellsville, Ky.; she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and Psychology. The salutatorian was Rebecca A. LaFever of Louisville, Ky., who received a Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Ministries. Darryl Peavler, director of alumni relations, a two-time graduate of Campbellsville University, welcomed the graduates into the CU Alumni Association, which has over 14,000 graduates. He charged them to embrace their role as new alumni and to be proud Campbellsville University alumni, give back to the university and recruit students. He told them to enjoy the moment and take time to reflect on their journey. Dr. Donna Hedgepath, provost and vice president for academic affairs, presented the graduates. Henry Lee, chair of the CU Board of Trustees, gave the invocation at both ceremonies. Dr. Wesley Roberts, professor of music, played the organ and piano, and Dr. Anne McNamara, assistant professor of music, was the trumpeter. Dr. Tony Cunha, professor of music and dean of the School of Music, led the congregational music. Dr. Damon Eubank, chair of social science division and professor of history, who serves as chair of the faculty forum, gave the benediction at both ceremonies. Campbellsville University is a widely-acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university with more than 13,000 students offering more than 90 programs of study including Ph.D., master, baccalaureate, associate, pre-professional and certification programs.
