North Carolina campus security officer goes viral for hugging graduating seniors before commencement
Fox News
Valerie Baxter is warming the hearts of the thousands after a video was released showing her emotional farewell to High Point University's graduating students in May 2023.
"The minute the first student came over to hug me, my heart got so full and I could not cut off the tears. And then they all started coming over." "If you have something good that happened, Ms. Val will find out, and she will make sure she goes out of her way to congratulate you." "She’s like the angel of High Point." "[Baxter] really just has so much love in her heart to take all of us under her wing." Gretchen Eichenberg is a contributing reporter for Fox News Digital.
Yet Baxter, who has worked for the university for 12 years, didn’t think anything of it — and she certainly did not know she was being recorded.
