Fall commencement pays tribute to military

December 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment

BUIES CREEK – Campbell University’s fall 2011 commencement served as a tribute to the U.S. military in several ways Saturday morning.
On the 40^th anniversary of the birth of the University’s ROTC program, the graduation ceremony – held at the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center – included several graduates who have either served or will serve in the military, and the commencement address was given by one of Fort Bragg’s most highly decorated officers.
Maj. Gen. Rodney O. Anderson spoke to the graduating class of 328 students, urging them to continue developing their goals, attributes and skills in order to become “strong Americans.”

O

Community Service

At Queens University of Charlotte, we believe that an education should not just lead to a job, but to an understanding of what it takes to be a responsible citizen - in our communities and in the world at large.
Our Core Program is organized around the theme of ethical issues from the ancients to the moderns.  Seniors take a capstone seminar called "Ethics," which pulls together all the elements from the previous three years: course work, the internship and the study tour abroad.  The entire program asks students these questions: What does it mean to be a good person?  What does it mean to be a member of a larger community?
To go along with what we teach in class, Queens sponsors numerous service and volunteer activities throughout the year.  In all that we do with our students - both inside and outside the classroom - we try to reinforce the university motto: "Not to be served but to serve."  We are active in Habitat for Humanity and "Room in the Inn," tutoring young children, and caring for the sick and infirm, among many other opportunities.  We even award a Community Service Scholarship which gives a $2,300 tuition grant in exchange for 200 hours of service work in Charlotte per academic year.  Ask your admissions counselor for more details on these and other opportunities.
Commitment to service is a large part of what Queens is all about. If you are not inclined toward service when you first come here, we hope you will be before you leave.
