Appearing before graduates, their friends and families, and many others from the Lee community, Austin Peay President Dr. Alisa White challenged graduates to “make some room” during Saturday’s commencement, the largest graduation in Lee’s history.
On this day for the record books, more than 520 degrees were conferred at Saturday’s ceremony, 80 of which were for graduate studies. Another historical aspect of the weekend’s festivities was the Pinning Ceremony for graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. In the Lee University Chapel, the School of Nursing honored its first cohort of 17 nursing graduates with a lapel pin signifying their accomplishments and an alabaster jar signifying their career ahead of pouring themselves out in service to others.
During White’s address, the Lee alumna encouraged the grads to “make room” for many things: for others who are different than them, for adventure, for others who know more than them, and for self-assessment, to list a few.
Other activities during the weekend included a hooding for students earning master’s degrees and a Commissioning Service on Friday night, which featured six student speakers sharing their “Lee experience.” This is one of three graduation weekends at Lee each year; commencements are also held in July and December.
