“T o have a graduate of Lebanon Valley College elected as Governor of one of our nation’s largest states is an impressive accomplishment and a very proud moment in the College’s more than 140 year history,” said Dr. Stephen MacDonald, LVC president. “Governor Corbett’s career as a U.S. attorney and as Pennsylvania attorney general is the embodiment of the ideals of a liberal arts institution and LVC’s mission of preparing our students for a life of service to others. His lifelong devotion to public service is a shining example of the vision of the College’s founders.”
The convocation will feature LVC student organists Dillon Streifender ’13, Lauren Anderson ’11, and Tyler Canonico ’14, a choir arrangement, and messages from MacDonald, LVC president; Dr. Michael Green, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty; and Governor Corbett.
