Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, told 313 undergraduate and graduate students in two commencement ceremonies Friday, Dec. 15, the largest in the history of December commencements, to thank those who helped them along their journey and that today will be a day they will remember.
The number of the graduates was a 54 percent increase over one year ago.
Although the 313 graduates knew they were going to be honored, one 80-year-old woman in the audience had a surprise waiting for her.
