By Duane Bonifer, Director of Public Relations News from Lindsey Wilson College Columbia, KY - Lindsey Wilson College will graduate a record number of students at this year's winter commencement, to be held at 10:30amCT on Saturday, December 11, 2010. The college will award a total of 365 degrees - 214 undergraduate degrees and 151 graduate degrees -- when it holds its 92nd commencement ceremony in Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard DR, Columbia, KY. Following the ceremony, the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni Association will hold a reception for graduates and their guests in Lindsey Wilson's Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center, 430 Helen Flatt DR, Columbia, KY. KCTC President Michael McCall will deliver keynote; McCall and Doug Moseley will receive honorary doctorate Kentucky Community and Technical College System President Michael B. McCall will deliver the keynote address. McCall and former LWC faculty member and administrator Doug Moseley of Bowling Green, Ky., will both receive an honorary doctorate from the Lindsey Wilson Board of Trustees and the college's faculty. Also on December 11, the college will honor alumni who graduated from LWC in 1950 or earlier by inducting them into the Golden Alumni Society. The ceremony will be held in conjunction with the winter commencement ceremony. But the largest winter commencement in the college's history is only part of the weekend's events. On Friday, December 10, the college will dedicate a new building and break ground on another. Largest ever LWC residence hall will be dedicated December 10, 2010 At 10amCT on Friday, December 10, the LWC community will dedicate Harold J. Smith Hall. The ceremony will be held in front of the residence hall. Opened this fall, the four-story, 186-bed residence hall is the largest on the college's A.P. White Campus. It is named in memory of the late Harold J. Smith of Crestwood, KY, who was a Lindsey Wilson trustee for more than 20 years. Groundbreaking for new School of Professional Counseling, Nursing School, December 10, 2010 At 1pmCT on Friday, December 10, a ground-breaking ceremony will be held to celebrate Lindsey Wilson's next classroom building. The ceremony will take place next to the Jim & Helen Lee Fugitte Science Center. Construction on the 26,000-square-foot, two-story building actually began earlier this semester so that it will be ready for the start of the 2011-12 school year. The cost of the project is about $3 million. The new academic building will house the LWC's School of Professional Counseling and its fledgling nursing program. "It's hard to describe what an exciting commencement weekend this will be for the Lindsey Wilson community," said LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. "We not only will graduate our largest winter class, but we will also commemorate the life of one of the college's greatest trustees as well as celebrate the growth of our academic programs. "Although it's great to dedicate a new building and celebrate the beginning of another, the weekend's real story is our graduates. More than 80 percent of our graduates are first-generation college students who will return to their communities to make a difference through their profession." This will be the seventh consecutive year Lindsey Wilson has held a winter commencement. The previous largest winter class was 325 students in December 2008. To put this year's winter commencement in perspective, LWC awarded 312 degrees in 2003-04, the last year the college held only one commencement ceremony.
