CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Fifteen students made history tonight at Campbellsville University as the first class of master of social work graduates from the Carver School of Social Work and Counseling since it moved to Campbellsville University from Louisville in 1998.

The master of social work graduates include: Anne Cook Adcock of Somerset, KY.; Juliana Marie Brown, Kristina Lynn Cooper, Aimee Renee Morris, Tracy Monique Murray and Lesley Renee Smith Newton, all of Campbellsville, KY; Nancy Danelle Draper Coomer of Jamestown, KY; Misty Renee Curry of Greensburg, KY;

Baerette Leeann Bishop Daniel of Lewisport, KY; Phoebe Ann Dewar-Williams of Elizabethtown, KY; Allison Michelle Driskell of Hardinsburg, KY; Gloria Jean Greynolds of Liberty, KY; Shannon L. Ryan Nottingham of Leitchfield, KY; and Tony Michael Rutherford and Patricia Ann Scott, both of Columbia, Ky.

Their dean, Dr. Darlene Eastridge, delivered the address to the graduates and spoke of perception and passion.

And their president at the time Carver School was established, Dr. Kenneth W. Winters, now a state senator, was presented the Campbellsville University Leadership Award in recognition of his vision in bringing the Carver School of Social Work to Campbellsville University.

Although the 15 graduates are the first to receive the master of social work degree from CU, the university has seen numerous individuals walk across the stage to receive their bachelor's of social work degree from the Carver School over the past several years, as well as a number of master's of counseling graduates.

The Carver Social of Social Work was moved to CU from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

A total of 122 students received master's degrees at the ceremony with a total of 474 students receiving academic degrees for the 2009-10 academic year. Commencement for undergraduates at CU is Saturday, May 8, 2010, at 9amET/8amET, at Powell Athletic Center with 195 students receiving degrees.

Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University; Dr. Jay Conner, chair of the CU Board of Trustees; and Dr. Frank Cheatham, vice president for academic affairs, made the Leadership Award presentation to Winters who served as president of CU from 1988 to 1996.

"It was his aggressive and visionary leadership that led to the location of the Carver School of Social Work to Campbellsville University," Carter said. He said Winters gave "11 years of strong leadership as president of Campbellsville University."

Winters received an honorary doctorate degree from CU in 1999 and is now a state senator representing the 1st district.

Eastridge, in her address, said, "Graduates, you are stepping into a new place tonight. A place where people hold preconceived perceptions about college graduates and what they think your abilities to be."

Eastridge said, in addition to the conscious efforts of Winters and Dr. Robert Clark, academic dean emeritus, the Carver School of Social Work and Counseling is a part of Campbellsville University because of the late Bobby Himes's enthusiasm and excitement. Himes was a long-time faculty member of CU having retired nearly a decade ago.

Kristina Lynn Cooper of Campbellsville, KY, responded to Carter's charge of asking the graduates to say good words about their alma mater and to live by the words in the university's academic seal - fellowship, leadership and scholarship.

During the ceremony, Herman Hardesty, a 1958 graduate of CU, president of the Alumni Association, installed the alumni. He said the graduates have made friends that will last forever. "It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome you as graduates," he said.

Dr. Jay Conner, chair of the Board of Trustees, led the invocation; and Winters gave the benediction.

The Campbellsville University Chorale gave a pre-commencement concert, conducted by Dr. Tony Cunha, assistant professor of music. Dr. Wesley Roberts, professor of music, was organist.

Quarteto Gracioso, composed of Nell Chaudoin, Sunghye Kim, Denis Santos and Dr. Lisa McArthur, associate professor of music, played special flute music. Dr. Mark Bradley, professor of music, led the hymn and the alma mater, "Campbellsville, We Love Thee."
