Spears to CU graduates: Make your mark By Joan C. McKinney Campbellsville, KY - There were four ceremonies in Ransdell Chapel on Friday, December 10, 2021, for the 933 candidates for graduation that made 2,650 graduates for May, August and December for the 2020-21 academic year. The students receive their degrees on the recommendation of the faculty and the approval of the Board of Trustees. Dr. H. Keith Spears, the 11th president of Campbellsville University, told the 933 candidates for graduation that they are not the same person who arrived at the university four years ago, and he charged the "new person in each of them to do three things." He told them to "reflect on your alma mater the good things that you have learned. Be a good emissary for Campbellsville University and carry its mantle well." He urged each graduate to look at the great seal of Campbellsville University that has an equilateral triangle fortified with fellowship, leadership and scholarship - elements that can fortify all of us, he said. He said fellowship is for harmony and respect for others, leadership is to take others to a higher destiny and scholarship is to be committed to lifelong learning. And he urged the graduates to do something unexpected. "Something that no one you know would have an inkling that you would do," Spears said. "Climb a mountain. Drive a race car. Jump out of an airplane (with a parachute). Cash in your last bit of student aid and take a mission trip to the ends of the earth like Uzbekistan. Do something that signifies that you can take on this world, do it well and make your mark."
