Davaajargal Dorjsuren leaving CU to pursue doctoral studies 2015-06-22 - Campbellsville University, Campbellsville, KY - Photo CU photo by Joshua. Beginnings, endings, beginnings seem to be what the world of higher education is about in commencement seasons. It's the same as in raising children, you must let go and remain in gratitude for the time in each others presence. The young woman in the middle, Davaajargal Dorjsuren, is leaving Campbellsville University this month for Texas where she begins doctoral work at Texas Tech University. Davva, as she is known to friends in this region, came to CU from Mongolia as a freshman international student. While at CU she has received her BA in 2009, her MBA in 2011 then was hired to teach in the School of Business and Economics. With Davva right before the start of her going away reception given by the CU School of Business are two of her many devoted friends, Joan C. McKinney, left, and Linda Waggener, at right.

Tall mature poke plant at Holladay Place 2015-06-22 - Patricia Trail, Holladay Place, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.

Burkesville Road is passed over in the photo, the inviting road seemingingly reaching the sky, centered between the poke plant and the bank sign is Mountainview Lane. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
