VALDOSTA, GA. — Valdosta State University is sending out the next generation into the real world to be the change.
This evening, hundreds of grads were honored at the school's 227th commencement ceremony.
Among the students honored were honor graduates and Air Force ROTC cadets.

Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp gave the key note speech, hoping to inspire the graduates.
