Cumberlands President
Dr. Larry Cockrum gave
his heartfelt congratula-
tions to the students and
offered them a few re-
minders as they take their
next step in life.
"You will have a unique
story to tell through-
out your life about the
circumstances of your
senior year," Cockrum
said. "How you respond
to circumstances is more
important, more defining,
and more lasting than the
circumstance itself. A]-
ways remember that with
hopefulness, with prepara-
tion, and with the proper
tools, We are all capable of
a new and positive begin-
ning. Find the joy in life.
Life brings opportunities
and obstacles. Pursue the
opportunities, and be per-
sistent and patient getting
past the obstacles. Follow
your heart, but use your
head. Listen to the people
around you, always look to
learn, grow, and try new
things, and laugh a lot."
President Cockrum also
took a moment to recog-
nize the family and friends
who had supported the
graduates while they were
taking classes, noting their
"sacrifice, concern, and la-
bor of love" that helped the
graduates succeed.
The university also hon-
ored exemplary students
during its undergraduate
commencement ceremo-
nies on April 30 and May
1, acknowledging the
students' exceptional aca-
demic performance, lead-
ership, and character.

berlands career. The Class
