TROY, Ala. – Troy student-athletes represented 24 of the nearly 800 students who participated in Troy's fall commencement ceremonies on Friday in Trojan Arena.
Troy's football program led the way with eight current or former players earning degrees this semester, followed by six from track & field, three each from baseball and soccer, while women's basketball and softball had two graduates.
Former Montgomery pastor and Christian leadership coach Dr. John Ed Mathison provided the keynote address. Dr. Mathison retired in June 2008 after serving 36 years as senior minister of Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. At his retirement, Frazer had eight Sunday morning worship services at the Atlanta Highway campus — 3 traditional, 3 contemporary, one Hispanic and one Chinese. Frazer televised its worship services nationwide each week with INSP network, reaching about 40 million homes. They were also cybercast live and carried on local radio and television. Under his leadership, Frazer grew from 400 members to 9,000 and had the largest Sunday School attendance for United Methodist churches in America. In 2006, The Church Reporter magazine recognized Frazer as the 25th most influential church in America.
