One hundred twenty-two Bluefield College seniors will accept diplomas during the school’s 88th Annual Spring Commencement, Saturday, May 7, featuring a keynote address from well-known author, educator, trainer and speaker Dr. Dale Henry.
The graduation ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. outside on the campus lawn at the foothills of East River Mountain in the BC Quad, and in addition to the conferring of degrees the program also will feature the presentation of the school’s Wampler-Caudill Distinguished Faculty Award to a traditional faculty member and two Wampler-Caudill Distinguished Student Leadership Awards to a traditional student and to an adult student in the inSPIRE degree-completion program.
Dr. Henry, the founder and president of Your Best Unlimited, will offer the day’s Commencement address. He speaks to and trains more than 100,000 professionals and executives each year about achieving your personal best and reaching the highest level of individual and team excellence.
A onetime associate dean of professional and graduate studies at Tusculum College in Tennessee, Dr. Henry now serves as a consultant and leadership trainer for companies like Levi Strauss, AT&T, FedEx, Xerox, Sun Trust, and the Disney Company.
