Lincoln College President John Hutchinson said he looks forward
to the ceremony and thinks graduates could learn from both honorary
degree recipients. "Both men are very intense in getting their jobs
done, and I think our graduates will find it beneficial to learn
from their desire to succeed," said Hutchinson.
Approximately 225 students will receive an Associate of Arts
degree at the Lincoln commencement ceremony. A reception for the
graduates and their families will immediately follow the ceremony.
