Liberty University Commencement 2016 with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn

Liberty University Commencement 2016: Hollywood Actors Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson both took the stage to address more than 19,000 graduates at Liberty’s commencement. They were also joined by reality television star Willie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty”.

Colleges typically use commencements as a chance to showcase their academic bona fides by inviting well-known thought leaders and nationally known politicians to speak. But Liberty has never pretended to be an academic powerhouse.

Robertson, the “Duck Dynasty” star whose son is a student at Liberty University, addressed the crowd with his homespun Southern accent while wearing an American flag bandana. “Be infectious around people with a positive attitude of Christ,” said Robertson.

The 2016 commencement shows it can attract A-list Hollywood actors, television personalities, and sports stars too. The ability to leverage influencers from both the entertainment and political sectors is impressive.  See full story...http://religionnews.com/2016/05/15/vince-vaughn-and-mel-gibson-headlined-liberty-universitys-commencement-heres-why-it-matters/
