As an alumnus of Campbellsville University, I've become more interested and active as I've gotten older.
When I was at Campbellsville, there were less than 2000 students enrolled, which is small. It has grown tremendously since then, with more than 12k enrolled. The notable alumni list given by search engines show a heavy concentration of politicians and basketball coaches. And then you have us rogues. There are some other alumni with interesting stories, many more than I'll share here.
