Two from county earn degrees at University of the Cumberlands

University of the Cumberlands has conferred degrees to the Class of 2020.

Graduates from Anderson County include:

Emily Stone of Oak Ridge, who received a bachelor of science degree in public health.

Jessica Webb of Clinton, who received a bachelor of science degree in fitness and sport management.

Commencement ceremonies were unable to be held this year, so the university found other ways to celebrate its graduates. “Grad boxes” were sent to graduates’ homes, complete with discount vouchers for the Cumberlands bookstore; specially ordered red, white, and blue 2020 tassels for graduation caps; new notebooks; and of course, that important slip of paper, the students’ hard-earned diplomas.
