Local residents receive degrees from UT Martin

Several Lewis County residents were among students who received degrees from the University of Tennessee at Martin during spring commencement ceremonies held May 7 and May 8, 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, UT Martin hosted four in-person commencements to promote safety for graduates and their families while recognizing the class of spring 2021’s accomplishments. Each commencement was livestreamed via Facebook and YouTube for those unable to attend.

The students receiving undergraduate degrees from Hohenwald were Amber Renae Johnston, Shannon Shania Reid, Nathaniel Lee Rochelle, and Destinye Rae Runions.
