Record-setting class receives Union degrees
Tigrett Medal winner Rachel Carbonell
The largest spring graduating class in Union history received degrees May 18 in a ceremony on the Great Lawn. About 7,500 people attended the service, and 647 students received degrees.
“Tonight brings to a culmination this very special year,” Union President David S. Dockery said.
Commencement speaker Russell D. Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said Christians should look backward with gratitude and look forward with expectation with a longer-term view than what they typically assign to their lives.
Union presented the Elizabeth Tigrett Medal to Rachel Carbonell, an engineering major from Jackson, Tenn.
