A new class of alumni took the first step into the next phase of their lives this Saturday in Allen Arena.
Over 200 students graduated, including doctoral students, masters students and undergraduate students. Lipscomb president Randy Lowry spoke at the ceremony, sharing his hopes for each graduate’s future.
“It’s your job to out into the world and take the sense of confidence and take the sense of character that has been developed here, and literally go change the world,” said Lowry.
Lowry also spoke about the community Lipscomb alumni are a part of. Even now that they have graduated, Lowry hopes they will be a part of future projects.
“We want you to realize that you will always be a part of the Bison herd,” said Lowry.
Concluding the ceremony, Lipscomb’s alma mater was performed by Christon Carney, a member of the graduating class.
A few Lumination staff members received their diplomas, including Kage Sanderson, Travis Byrd and former editors-in-cheif, Logan Butts and Cory Woodroof.
Woodroof served as editor-in-chief for a year and a half, then passed the torch to Butts, who served from summer 2014 up until his graduation in December 2014.
