\u201cOur graduating seniors can learn valuable life lessons from Pete Carpenter,\u201d President Seamus Carey said. \u201cNot only has he excelled in the business world, but he has exemplified living generously, which is the theme of this academic year. Mr. Carpenter\u2019s efforts to transform the university\u2019s main academic building into a cutting-edge learning environment will help sustain our liberal arts mission well into the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n

Transylvania\u2019s commencement<\/a> will begin at 9 a.m. in front of historic Old Morrison. The rain location will be the Clive M. Beck Center.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Students will pursue advanced degrees at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Study, Vanderbilt University Law School and the UK College of Medicine. Other opportunities awaiting students after graduation include the U.S. Air Force, Teach for America corps and a position as an assistant national bank examiner for the Federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.<\/p>\n
