Chowning invites the entire university community, including students as well as those in the area, to attend Campbellsville University's first chapel service of the semester "as we remember Dr. King's life and service and as we commit to learning to live and work together and to serve the greater good. "Dr. Smith will bring a powerful and important message." Smith earned his bachelor of arts, master of arts and Ph.D. degrees in history from UK. He is a native of Lexington.
