As Cumberlands celebrated the accomplishments of the class of 2010, the University also presented an Honorary Doctor of Laws
degree to Sandra Laney, CEO and Chairman of Cadre Computer Resources of Cincinnati. Laney has been a longtime friend of
Cumberlands and is a former colleague of the late Dr. Edward L. Hutton,
whose support of Cumberlands made possible several facilities on campus,
including the Hutton School of Business, Hutton Woods and Hutton
Hall.
Dr. Dale Henry, founder and president of Your Best Unlimited, Inc., a
Tennessee-based training company, addressed the graduating seniors.
Henry, an educator, administrator, author, motivational speaker, trainer,
consultant and
entrepreneur
who comes
from East
Tennessee and
the foothills of
the Smoky Mountains, has developed his own brand of “edu-tainment.”
Using his storytelling skills to illustrate his points, Henry made his
address one that the graduates and the audience will long remember.
“Keep your eye on your passion. Keep your heart full of love for those
you will work with, for many of them will be unlovable. Smile, it’s the
only way we all know that you have joy in your life,” he said. “And
remember, the tasks you did not complete at first are the ones that will
take you to that place where you want to be.”
