TROY, Alabama – Troy University held its 2015 Fall Commencement ceremonies in Trojan Arena on Friday and 19 current and former Troy student-athletes were among the some 400 students who received their degrees.
The Troy graduating class had representation from 28 U.S. states, one territory and 16 other nations. Troy's 19 student-athletes represented 10 different sports.
Former lieutenant governor and nationally prominent trial lawyer Jere Beasley provided the commencement address. Beasley was the state's 22nd lieutenant governor, who served as acting governor of Alabama from June 5 to July 7, 1972, while Gov. George C. Wallace was recovering from an assassination attempt in Laurel, Maryland. He served as lieutenant governor until 1979.
He is the senior member of Montgomery's Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C. law firm, and has earned a national reputation for winning large awards, including an $11.8 billion punitive damage award against Exxon Mobile Corporation on behalf of the State of Alabama.
