LOUISVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University's Louisville Center brought May and July graduates and their families together for a luau celebration and awards event on June 17 in honor of their successful degree completion.

Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, commended the graduates on jobs well done before introducing guest speaker, the Rev. Joel Carwile, pastor of Valley View Church in Louisville, KY



Carwile holds a Master's Degree in Theology from CU and was recipient of the Campbellsville University Leadership Award in 2010.

"Get it done!" was the message from Carwile. He congratulated the graduates who received master's degrees in theology and said, "Now go on and get your doctorate, never mind how hard, just get it done."

He told the graduates if they were finishing their bachelor's degrees and thinking how much time it might take to get a master's degree, "get it done."

Basing his presentation on John 13, he advised everyone to continue in their servant leadership development by "taking up a towel along the way occasionally washing someone's feet," and, he said, "what may be even harder for you, allow someone to wash yours."

Carwile ended with encouragement for future students who might be considering college. "When I was a student at CU-Louisville, we got to know each other and became family in the small class sizes. I am glad to be part of this Campbellsville family and urge others to join as well."

The first Servant Leadership Awards were presented for academic excellence and servant leadership. A pottery basin, pitcher and towel gift were presented to three graduates: Wendy Stout of Mt. Washington, KY for organizational management and leadership in the classroom; Rachel Heyne of Louisville for having a 4.0 GPA in Christian Social Ministry; and to Angeliq Barker of Louisville who had a 3.8 GPA in Christian Social Ministry.

Dr. Keith Spears, CU vice president for regional and professional education, welcomed the crowd of over 100 graduates and their families to the luau-style celebration and dinner.

An Hawaiian theme was supported by two skits with Dr. Darlene Eastridge, dean of the Carver School of Social Work and Counseling, as the Ukulele Lady, who was accompanied by Carwile.

The second skit, to the '70s rock song YMCA, starred Spears as chief; Jim Woolums, director of Louisville Education Center, policeman; James Gribbins, assistant coordinator for admissions/marketing, construction worker; Kelli Gwilt, assistant director of Louisville Education Center, army officer; and Dr. Chris Conver, part-time Louisville Center recruiter, cowboy.

Woolums and Gwilt recognized faculty, students and family "who make CU Louisville the special place it is."
