LWU: First Summer Commencement Ceremony caps off largest class in school history By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson held its first summer commencement ceremony on Saturday, August 15, 2026, by celebrating people who showed up. As graduate student David Browne told his fellow 291 Lindsey Wilson graduates in his commencement address, "showing up matters." "We started this journey with questions," said Browne, an Elizabethtown, Kentucky, resident who earned a master of education degree in counseling. "We had moments of doubt. We had moments where balancing school, work, family, and life felt impossible. But we kept showing up. And showing up matters." Lindsey Wilson awarded 292 degrees at its 124th commencement ceremony, held in Biggers Sports Center -- 37 bachelor of arts degrees, 251 master degrees and four doctorate degrees. Lindsey Wilson awarded a total of 1,449 degrees at its December and May commencement weekends in 2025-26, which were held over five ceremonies. The 292 degrees awarded at the university's inaugural summer commencement on Saturday afternoon raised the total number of graduates during 2025-26 to 1,741 -- the largest class in the school's 123-year history. LWU's previous largest class of graduates was 1,733 in 2024-25.

A blood test for Alzheimer's For decades, diagnosing Alzheimer's disease required expensive PET brain scans or a spinal tap. In May 2025, that changed. The FDA cleared the first blood test for Alzheimer's disease, a simple lab draw that detects amyloid plaques in the brain, the hallmark indicator of the disease. A second approved test can be administered right in a primary care office. The test is said to be more than 91 percent accurate. This test is not a treatment. It tells doctors and patients what they are dealing with earlier. 2026-08-16 00:10:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Health Care
