Capping five days of in-person degree presentation ceremonies separated by departments, Liberty University celebrated its 48th commencement ceremony virtually Saturday night.

âYou be the best you can be,â Tebow said. âYou win at it, not because youâre trying to praise yourself, but because God has given you the talent, the ability, the opportunity. Heâs opened the door for you to be there â that means you have purpose in that.â
According to numbers provided by Liberty officials, 27,354 students earned their degrees from Liberty University on Saturday as part of the Class of 2021. Of those, 4,023 were residential students and 23,331 earned their degree through LU online.

Liberty University Says Jerry Falwell Jr. Owes Over $40M
Law360 (April 16, 2021, 9:17 PM EDT) Liberty University on Thursday slapped its former president and chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. with a breach of contract suit in Virginia state court seeking over $40 million, the latest escalation in a heated dispute between the evangelical Christian university and the well-known son of its founder.
Falwell quit in August after his former pool attendant, Giancarlo Granda, claimed he had been involved in a yearslong affair with Falwell s wife, Rebecca Falwell. Granda also said that Falwell often watched or recorded them having sex. Then, in October, Falwell sued Liberty for defamation, claiming that the university accepted those salacious and baseless accusations.
