CU graduates 1,027 students in first virtual commencement By Ariel C. Emberton Campbellsville, KY - "Be bold, be courageous and be yourself," Parish Howell Jr., a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education graduate of Norfolk, Va., said during his speech for Campbellsville University's December 2020 commencement ceremony. Howell was asked to speak on behalf of the graduating class in the first virtual commencement ceremony which aired on Campbellsville University's Facebook page Dec. 18. He said during his time at Campbellsville the campus community taught him how to be three things: bold, courageous and himself. "Something else they taught me was that wherever you go, whether it be tomorrow, the next day or a couple years down the line, go there with all your heart -- 100%," Howell said. Howell said fear has driven him to more success because it allowed him to reach more than he ever imagined he could both on the football field, in the classroom and when making friends. "It's allowed me to grow as a servant leader at Campbellsville University and Campbellsville University has taught me that servant leadership is a great way to make friends, and it's a great way to showcase what God has done for us," Howell said. He encouraged graduates to get used to their new normal because with normal comes change and if opportunity doesn't come knocking, build a door. Dr. Donna Hedgepath, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said, "Our graduates have worked really hard over the last few years to get to this moment and we wanted to have something special for you as we celebrate our graduates." Ashley Fox, director of alumni relations, welcomed the new graduates into the diverse and proud family that makes up Campbellsville University's Alumni Association. "As a graduate, you now have a network of over 17,000 alumni that spans many states and countries. You will always be a part of this community. "Campbellsville University is in your story, your successes and your experiences. We are so proud of what all you've accomplished and hope to be a resource today and in the years to come." Rusty Hollingsworth, vice president for student services and athletics, congratulated the graduates on their perseverance during their time at Campbellsville University. He challenged them to go and do great things in this world. Henry Lee, chair of the Campbellsville University Board of Trustees, led the opening prayer, and Dr. Terry Wilder, director of the Master of Divinity program, led the closing prayer. The video featured Campbellsville University students singing a variety of songs including "Campbellsville, We Love Thee" and "God Will Take Care of You." Students were recognized in the video with a photo, degree level, name, degree area and their hometown. Those recognized for receiving their bachelor's degree were also recognized for being summa cum laude, magna cum laude or cum laude, an honors student, valedictorian and salutatorian. The ceremony featured Campbellsville University's first group of Ph.D. graduates. They received their doctorate Ph.D. in Management. Those who received this degree are:
