Young delivered the University of South Florida Lakeland spring

active role in the advancement of the University through the Lakeland
campus in various capacities. In earlier years, Young served as
President of the USF Lakeland Community Advisory Board and advised
USFL campus administration on matters relating to the community,
engaged support for the advancement of the University and assisted

establishing the educational partnership between USF Lakeland and

Program allows the bank's mid-level managers to receive leadership
development skills while obtaining transferable college credit.
Young also received a Distinguished Service Award during the commencement
ceremony.
Dr. L. Preston Mercer, vice president and chief executive officer
of the Lakeland campus presided over the ceremony, gave the commencement
welcome and hosted USF system President Dr. Judy Genshaft as she
