CU spring commencement held in two events Guest speaker United States Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-KY, gave words of encouragement to Campbellsville University undergraduates in his Saturday morning address. Master's recipients were granted degrees Friday evening. Click on headline for complete story, photo(s) Campbellsville University graduated 152 master’s students Friday evening, May 2, 2014 in Ransdell Chapel and 264 undergraduates Saturday, May 3, 2014 in Powell Athletic Center, for a total of 416 receiving their diplomas upon completion of all academic requirements. In CU’s December commencement, 196 received their diplomas making the graduating class of 2013-2014 total 612 students. Saturday morning guest speaker United States Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-KY, urged Campbellsville University undergraduates to “work well and faithfully” in Powell Athletic Center. Whitfield was awarded an honorary doctorate of public service degree from CU. Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of CU, told the graduates the world is facing “very serious and deep challenges.” He told the graduates to be peacemakers as “peace comes from within the heart.” In his charge to the graduates, Carter, at both ceremonies, reminded graduates of the university’s seal, that contains the words “fellowship, leadership and scholarship.” He defined these words in a way he said is applicable to the new lives of the graduates. He told them to not be afraid of learning. “It’s up to you to decide how you can change the world,” he said. Among those who have “changed the world” were the two recipients of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards given Friday and Saturday. Friday’s recipient was Paul Osborne of Campbellsville, a member of the Campbellsville University Board of Trustees and former mayor of the City of Campbellsville. Saturday’s recipient was Jacqueline Carlton Nelson of Campbellsville, the class salutatorian with a 3.97 grade point average who has been accepted into the University of Kentucky College of Law. Paula Smith, director of alumni relations, told the graduates, “You are CU. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, ‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.’ So as you step out to meet the world with your mind prepared and your skills tuned, I urge you to set your direction with a positive attitude and strong spirit.” She told the students they now belong to the more than 11,000 CU graduates all across the world. Co-valedictorians of the May undergraduate graduating class were Karen Lynn Bland of Campbellsville, KY; Trevor Douglas Greenwell of Bardstown, KY; Miwa Matsuo of Japan and Emilee Katherine O’Brien of Louisville, KY Salutatorian was Jacqueline Carlton Nelson of Campbellsville.
