"Liberty University is proud to announce that former President Jimmy Carter will deliver the keynote address at Commencement on Saturday, May 19, 2018."
Jerry Falwell Jr. met President and Mrs. Carter early last year. "It is one of the greatest honors of my life to welcome President Carter to our Commencement stage. I have tremendous respect for him as a statesman and a true Christian....President Carter, both during his time in office and since, has followed the teachings of Christ by serving the poor and loving his neighbors. I am thrilled that he will be sharing the story of his life of faith in action to our graduates and their families."
"Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981....In 1982, Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, established The Carter Center, a non-profit organization focused on resolving conflict; advancing democracy and human rights; preventing diseases; and improving mental health care. 'I am pleased to speak at Liberty University’s Commencement,' Carter said. 'I look forward to reaching out to this young generation of future leaders. I hope to inspire them as so many have inspired me throughout my life.'"
