Rep. Ed Whitfield will deliver the commencement address as Lindsey Wilson College will celebrate its 82nd commencement ceremony.

Commencement wonderful capstone to another successful year

"This will be a wonderful capstone to another successful year," said Lindsey Wilson College President William T. Luckey Jr. "Commencement is always the highlight of our school year because it's a celebration for our students and their families and friends."

Whitfield will receive honorary LWC doctorate

Whitfield, who has represented Kentucky's 1st Congressional District since 1994, will also receive an honorary doctorate from the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees and faculty for his service to the 1st District and his support of higher education.

"We are very fortunate to have Congressman Whitfield deliver this year's commencement address," Luckey said. "Congressman Whitfield has been a good friend to Lindsey Wilson College, its students and all of Adair County."

James L. Rogers, Emily Hundley will receive honorary doctorates

Also being honored with an honorary doctorate are longtime Lindsey Wilson trustee James L. Rogers III and college friend Emily Hundley.

Rogers is CEO of Florida citrus company

A native of Muhlenberg County, Ky., Rogers is chief executive officer of The Packers of Indian River, a citrus growing and packing firm in Fort Pierce, Florida. Although he is now a citizen of Florida, Rogers continues to maintain close ties to his native Kentucky through his involvement with and support of higher education.

Phillips Hall named for Ellen Hundley's forebear

A native of Lebanon, Ky., Hundley's family has been a part of Lindsey Wilson since its founding in 1903. Her great-grandfather James Gould Phillips was an early benefactor of the college, and the college's Phillips Residence Hall was named in his honor. Hundley Hall, which served as the college's dining hall from 1925-1993, was named in honor of her family ancestor J. Phillips Hundley.

LWC alumnus group meets Friday night

In addition to Saturday morning's commencement, the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni Association will hold its invitation-only senior banquet on Friday evening in college dining and conference center. That will be followed by the baccalaureate service at 7 p.m. CDT in the sports center.

The baccalaureate and commencement are both open to the public.
