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.

They are questions we should all consider.

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
