LYNCHBURG, Va. (WFXR)– Liberty University has announced that U.S. Senator Tim Scott will address the Class of 2024 as the keynote speaker at this year’s Commencement Main Ceremony on Friday, May 10.
Upon accepting the invitation, Senator Scott said, “Like Dr. Costin and the rest of the leadership at Liberty University, my belief in Christ and the power of education are at the core of so much of my work. I am honored to be able to share words of wisdom and guidance for the future as the graduates and their families celebrate this important milestone.”
Scott was first elected to the Charleston County Council, then to the South Carolina State House and the U.S. House of Representatives. Sen. Scott has served his home state of South Carolina in the U.S. Senate since 2013
Having grown up in poverty in a single-parent home, Sen. Scott has worked as a tireless advocate for creating more opportunities for families living paycheck-to-paycheck to help children in poverty access quality education. He has also been a leader in tax reform, job training, and has brought innovative ideas to reinvest in the country’s distressed communities.
“I am both honored and thrilled that my dear friend, Senator Tim Scott, will be joining us as our keynote speaker for Liberty University’s 51st Commencement Ceremony,” said Liberty President Dondi Costin. “I have known Senator Scott for many years as a close neighbor and personal friend. He is a proven leader with a remarkable career as a businessman and public servant. Most importantly, his character, service, and devotion demonstrate the model characteristics and indispensable qualities of a true Champion for Christ.”
Liberty’s 2024 Commencement Ceremony is expected to be one of the largest in the school’s history. The ceremony is scheduled to begin on May 10 at 7:00 p.m. at Williams Stadium.
