Welcome new students
The University of the South's 2011-12 academic year came to a close May 11, 12, and 13 with three ceremonies marking graduation weekend on the Mountain. Commencement and Baccalaureate ceremonies were held for close to 400 students from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Letters, and The School of Theology. Three honorary degrees were presented during The School of Theology Commencement, and two during the Baccalaureate ceremony.
