Commencement was extended a week for a special person. Austin Biggers completed the degree he started in 2005 after being delayed by a life changing car accident. Family & friends gathered today in Montgomery to see Austin finally receive his degree. Congratulations Austin!

Walking across campus this morning knowing I would be announcing that I will be stepping down as president, I stopped to say thank you to our founder for his generosity and vision to create this remarkable university.

After 7 graduation ceremonies walked home to the Trogdon House. Took a pic & thought I'm really going to miss living in this beautiful place. But what I'll miss even more are all the beautiful people that make this campus home.
