I’m always looking to fill gaps here; I’ve had no luck tracking down copies of various Liberty publications for the years I don’t have here. Also, I’m always interested in knowing who spoke at baccalaureate various years. I have to admit that while I remember who spoke at my graduation, I don’t remember a thing about baccalaureate that year. I may have skipped it.

Half a bridge 
Gotta love Chuck Norris for the invite in ’08. Certainly on the same level of Billy Graham or a sitting President of the United States.
Seriously, what were they thinking?!
Bill Bright is the 2002 speaker. I only know because i’m watching it right now after the Liberty NCAA game. and i was looking for other speakers.
