NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's an unusual assignment.
A professor encouraged students to think about what a meaningful life looks like.
As part of the students' final grade, they gave a "commencement address" as though they were giving advice to future graduates. Dr. Clay Stauffer teaches Moral Leadership at Vanderbilt University.
He asked them to consider: what makes life worth living?
What does it mean to think about others in a world where so many think about themselves?
What leads to happiness?
They are questions we should all consider.
