The commencing students of the Class of 2023 gathered at Patrick Henry College with their friends and family for the ceremony. Dr. Ben Carson, renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and PHC’s 2023 Commencement speaker delivered a powerful address.
He congratulated the graduates, charging them to live by the godly principles of loving your neighbor and caring for those who can’t care for themselves. He stressed the importance of “developing your God-given talents to the utmost so that you become valuable to the people around you and having values and principles that govern your life … If we do that,” Dr. Carson said, “not only will we have a great nation, but we will have one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
As Dr. Carson said, preserving the spirit of the American founding is essential to preserving our nation. The mission of Patrick Henry College is to prepare Christian men and women who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values and fidelity to this spirit.
Congratulations, Patrick Henry College Class of 2023! We are excited to see all that God will do through these amazing graduates.
