Record number of Lindsey Wilson winter graduates KCTCS President Michael B. McCall delivers 92nd commencement address. McCall, Doug Moseley awarded honorary doctorates. Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College Columbia, KY -- Members of the first half of the Lindsey Wilson College Class of 2010-11 were told Saturday morning that "the times they are a-changin'," but they have the ability to control their destiny because they have a college education. Those were the words Kentucky Community and Technical College System President Michael B. McCall delivered at the college's 92nd commencement ceremony, held Saturday morning in Biggers Sports Center. Lindsey Wilson awards record 365 degrees Lindsey Wilson awarded a record 365 degrees at this year's winter commencement - 214 undergraduate degrees and 151 graduate degrees. This was LWC's seventh consecutive winter commencement ceremony, made necessary because of the college's growth. 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. McCall, Moseley receive honorary degrees Also on Saturday, LWC awarded an honorary doctorate to McCall and to former LWC administrator and Kentucky state legislator Doug Moseley of Bowling Green, Ky. Quoting Bob Dylan's anthem of the 1960s generation, McCall told the Lindsey Wilson graduates that the words of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" are just as relevant today as they were when the song was released in 1964. Graduates entering 'profound new world' Today's college graduates enter a world where a "profound transformation of the world economy" is taking place as technology revolutionizes everything in everyday life, including education, work and how wealth is created. "It's virtually erased all borders, creating a worldwide marketplace," McCall said. "Education, though, is at the core of this revolution." College is not a free pass McCall told the students that a college degree "is not a free pass" nor is it "a sole ticket to the American dream." For today's college graduates to be successful, they have "got to realize how you market yourself," McCall said. And to avoiding "sinking like a stone" in the world economy, McCall advised the graduates to develop two habits -- "discover and cultivate what your strengths are, and package those strengths into a marketable brand." Graduates told to be CEO of own lives By being "the CEO of your life" and becoming a lifelong learner, a college graduate can succeed in a world economy that is "very intolerant of mediocrity," McCall said. "You are entering the workforce at a very exciting time - a very scary time in some ways, a very challenging time for us as well," he said. "Yes, the times are changing, the waters around you have grown, will continue to grow, but you already have a leg up on your competition." This story was posted on 2010-12-12 05:49:55
