PINEVILLE (LCNews) – Louisiana College President Rick Brewer has invited Mayor Clarence R. Fields as keynote speaker for the college’s 162nd commencement ceremony.

Louisiana College expects to confer degrees upon 121 graduates.

Because of the ongoing remodeling of LC’s Guinn Auditorium, the May 6 ticketed commencement service will be held at 10 a.m. at Alexandria’s Calvary Baptist Church located at 5011 Jackson Street.

“Louisiana College is deeply pleased to have Mayor Fields address our graduates and their guests,” Brewer said. “He exemplifies the kind of leader that every graduate should emulate. Mayor Fields is a sincere and responsible civil servant, and is one whose Christian faith is evident in his daily life. He epitomizes the result of our vision of preparing graduates and transforming lives.”

LC will livestream the event on this website: www.lacollege.edu
