Susan Cole to give commencement address at APSU

March 1, 2009 |

When a record number of Austin Peay State University graduates receive their diplomas on May 8, they’ll get a lesson on “hard work and determination” from one of their fellow alums, inspiring them to persevere in the years to come.

Those words helped Susan (Wright) Cole (’86), who after earning her bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from APSU, worked her way up to being one of only two reading clerks for the U.S. House of Representatives on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. That’s why the University asked her to give the commencement address during this year’s graduation ceremony. And her speech, she said, will focus on those two important attributes – “hard work and determination.”

At 10 a.m., Friday, May 8, graduates from the College of Arts and Letters, the College of Science and Mathematics and the School of Technology and Public Management will participate in the ceremony. Then, at 2 p.m., graduates from the College of Professional Programs and Social Sciences will have their commencement exercises. «Read the rest of this article»
