Britany Probst graduates from Tennessee Wesleyan College

2014 May 5

Britany Probst of Knoxville, TN graduated with a Bachelor of Science Nurse from Tennessee Wesleyan College at the college's 157th Spring Commencement. Tennessee Wesleyan College's celebration of its 157th Spring Commencement spanned three days and three events. With 197 students graduating, this year's Commencement was the highlight of the 2013-2014 academic year.

"Tennessee Wesleyan is a place where stories are interwoven, where lives intersect," said Sydney Varajon, who gave the student address at the Commencement ceremony. "Rather than an institution where people have numbers and not names, Wesleyan is a community that emphasizes qualitative instead of mere quantitative existence. Professors and peers alike encourage us to ask questions, to explore ideas, and to grow into ourselves.

"At Wesleyan we have not been taught what to think, but how to think, not what to see, but how to see. There exists a remarkable bond between TWC faculty, staff, and students. As we leave this campus, it is my hope that we will go boldly, but gently. We go into the world now with a rich Wesleyan heritage, a tradition of light and truth. More importantly, we have a legacy of love and as heirs of such, we have the responsibility to share it."
