Elizabeth McCullers Graduates from Valdosta State University

2017 Jun 16

Elizabeth McCullers of Macon, Georgia, has earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from Valdosta State University.

McCullers was among the more than 1,100 undergraduate and graduate students recognized during VSU's 223rd commencement ceremonies May 5-6. The Spring 2017 celebration featured a keynote address by Nathan Deal, who was elected Georgia's 82nd governor in 2010 and re-elected in 2014, and a full fireworks display over the iconic West Hall dome on the university's front lawn.

"Graduation is a defining moment in every student's life," said Dr. Richard A. Carvajal, president of VSU. "We are excited that the governor of this great state helped us pay tribute to the outstanding efforts of our spring graduates and celebrate education as the foundation upon which success is built. These students have had to overcome any number of challenges to reach this point in their life's journey. It is that very perseverance that protects and nurtures Blazer Nation's 100-plus-year-old tradition of academic, creative, athletic, research, and service excellence. This celebration is not an ending but the beginning of many great things to come."

Established in 1906, Valdosta State University is a premier comprehensive university that offers both the extensive academic, cultural, and social opportunities of a major university and the small classes and close, personal attention of smaller institutions. It boasts more than 100 degree, certificate, and endorsement programs on campus and online for undergraduate and graduate students. It also has a full menu of extracurricular activities, from national championship athletic and academic teams to honors organizations, sororities and fraternities, intramural sports, educational and service clubs, a symphony orchestra, art and theatre, research opportunities, and more. Even as underclassmen, students file patents on inventions and make life-changing scientific discoveries, present at national and international conferences, publish research in collaboration with their professors, work in campus-based clinics that benefit the community, live and learn at partner institutions around the globe through study abroad, and more. The possibilities are endless.
