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.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
