Lindsey Wilson English graduate Zachariah Lawson of Williamsburg, Kentucky, who gave the commencement address at the Saturday morning ceremony, reveals his identity as Lindsey Wilson University mascot, Blue Raider Bob.
"I've had the honor of being Blue Raider Bob," Lawson said. "And if there's one thing I've learned - whether in a suit, behind a title or standing here as myself - it's this: showing up matters, bringing energy matters, lifting people up matters, and being part of something bigger than yourself matters."
