Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron will deliver the commencement address at Young Harris College May 7.
Aaron, senior vice president of the Atlanta Braves, has been a generous friend and advocate of YHC for many years and served on the Board of Trustees from 2000-08. He voted on the appointment of YNC president Cathy Cox and supported the College’s historic decision to become a four-year institution.
“His life and accomplishments serve as a testament to what hard work and dedication can lead to,” Cox said.
Aaron has a longstanding friendship with YHC alumnus former U.S. Senator and Georgia Governor Zell Miller, ’51. When the college decided to construct a baseball stadium to be named in honor of Miller, who both played and coached baseball at YHC before entering public service, Aaron not only gave generously to the project, but also assisted with raising the funds.
