Homecoming brings LWC Class of 2020 back to campus By Venus Popplewell When Waverly Williams received the news that she would have the opportunity to celebrate her graduation from LWC in-person, she felt grateful to be able to close out an important chapter in her academic journey. "Even though we had other opportunities to celebrate and be recognized, this is what our class really needed," said Williams, a business administration graduate from Elizabethtown, Kentucky. "...the chance to cross the stage and have the big moment we've all dreamed of. It's a closure moment and it makes the accomplishment feel more real." LWC 111th and 112th Commencement Ceremonies The ceremony -- which honored the LWC Class of 2020 graduates -- took place as a part of 2021 Homecoming. LWC President William T. Luckey Jr., echoed the need for closure as he welcomed the graduates back to campus. "We are so happy to have you back on campus, to properly recognize you, live and in-person for your graduation this morning," Luckey said. "We know that you have launched into the next phase of your life. We are so honored that you cared enough to be back here today and to put an exclamation mark on your accomplishments." The Class of 2020 returned to LWC after their final year was upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been more than 16 months since they received their degrees. "It's been really good to see people I haven't seen in over a year," said Williams. "I got to spend time with a couple of my roommates and my accounting instructor, Ms. Katie Curry. I didn't know she was going to be here, so that was a nice surprise." Human services and counseling graduate Crystal Avila from Chicago, Illinois, traveled more than seven hours -- through the night -- to get the chance to walk across the commencement stage. "We are all very tired today," said Avila who brought a large cheering section to the ceremony. "My mom and my dad have supported me. They wanted me to finish college. It was important to them that we make the trip and I participate in the in-person ceremony." Four Individuals Recognized at LWC 2021 Homecoming The LWC National Alumni Association recognized two individuals in a small ceremony at the Emiley Hundley President's Home:
