LWC will have record graduating class at spring commencement By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Affairs Lindsey Wilson College will cap off the largest graduating class in its 105-year history when the college holds its spring commencement ceremony on Saturday morning for 163 students and their families. Lindsey Wilson will confer degrees to a total of 163 students, 151 undergraduate students and 12 graduate students, at the college's 87th commencement ceremony. The ceremony will begin at 10:00amCT on Saturday, May 10, 2008, in Biggers Sports Center. The commencement address will be delivered by Alice Brown, outgoing president of the Appalachian College Association.

President Brown has spent the past 25 years leading the 33 colleges and universities of the Appalachian College Association, of which Lindsey Wilson is a member. The association is based in Berea, KY "Thanks to the work of President Brown and her outstanding staff at the Appalachian College Association, Lindsey Wilson students and faculty have had the opportunity to travel abroad; numerous Lindsey Wilson faculty members have completed their doctorates; many more faculty have taken advantage of professional-development opportunities; and our Katie Murrell Library has been strengthened," Dr. Luckey said. President Brown, who will receive a doctorate from Lindsey Wilson, was ACA's executive director from 1983 until 2000, when she was named the organization's president. President Brown holds degrees in English from Appalachian (NC) State University and a doctorate in higher education from the University of Kentucky. Also receiving a doctorate from Lindsey Wilson will be:
