CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Heritage means a lot of things to a lot of people. At Campbellsville University it is the achievements, traditions and beliefs that make up the history of the university.

In addition to Cheatham speaking, student Michael Jennings, SGA president, will give the invocation, and Connie Wilson, academic coordinator, will read from Scripture, with Dr. Joe Early, Jr., associate professor of theology, introducing Cheatham.
