Franklin College is nearing commencement. But before that, the college will hold an important annual ceremony: Baccalaureate. This ecumenical event, held on the eve of commencement, is designed to help graduating seniors reflect on who they were at Franklin College, and where they are going. Chaplain Hannah discusses this idea and breaks down baccalaureate with its featured speaker, Dr. Leah Gunning Francis. Dr. Francis is vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis and a book author who researched the impact of the faith community on protests in Ferguson. But before going to seminary and kickstarting her current path, Dr. Francis was on another using her undergraduate degree in corporate marketing. In this episode, Dr. Francis offers an example of life's surprising paths, and she encourages listeners to stay open to the possibilities of the future.
If you are a member of the Franklin College community, be sure to join us for baccalaureate at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 21, in the Spurlock Center. The event will also be livestreamed at www.franklincollege.edu.
