CAMPUS BEAUTY
Dear LVC Community, I write with news of several Lebanon Valley College milestones: This fall, we enjoyed what we believe to be the second-best attended Homecoming in LVC history (after the historic 150th anniversary year), we received the largest estate gift dedicated to an academic department in history (pp. 4–5), and our faculty and Board of Trustees approved a new strategic plan, Imagine LVC, to guide us toward a bright future— together. Imagine LVC is a well-thought-out, data-informed, and focused roadmap that leaves room for agility as the world changes. The new plan includes a vision statement to guide LVC to “become the regional leader in higher education, known for offering highquality academic and co-curricular programs in a personalized, inclusive environment that emphasizes career success and personal well-being.” I look forward to working with you to make this plan a reality. You can view it at www.lvc.edu/Imagine. There is so much exciting change to occur soon—revitalized athletic facilities for our student-athletes, a new nursing facility to support our Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program that welcomes its first class next fall, and innovative work in the Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success to help our students and alumni achieve career success. These changes will incorporate ideals, strengths, and traditions from our history. We will continue to affirm the institution’s values, which will underpin all our decisions moving forward. These values, developed and agreed upon by all LVC constituencies during the year-long process of drafting Imagine LVC, are that We Value: •

The Spirit of Giving Alumni and Friends Helping Students Thrive
Changing lives one student at a time—that’s how your gifts empower current and future generations of Lebanon Valley College undergraduates and graduates. Students like Destiny Daley ’22, who wants to be a teacher, and Marly Aziz ’22, who wants to be a doctor. Recent alumna like Elizabeth “Liz” Lyter ’21, who wants to be an optometrist, and Anna Weaver ’21, a Ph.D. student in chemistry at the University of Delaware. All these dreams and goals have the chance to be realized due to your generosity. Recent philanthropy to LVC will enable a nationally recognized program aimed at suicide prevention, create enhanced athletic facilities for our numerous student-athletes, Dr. Elizabeth Miller Bains ’64
and support the liberal arts. These gifts acknowledge the influence of faculty in business administration, chemistry, and religion and the longest-serving men’s basketball coach in history.

Honoring a Mentor and the Liberal Arts Like many scholarship founders, Elyse E. Rogers, Esq., ’76 supports her alma mater because of the faculty she learned from as an undergraduate religion major. Chair of the College’s Board of Trustees since 2018, she also gives back due to her love of the humanities. She created two scholarships—The Elyse E. Rogers ’76 Endowed Scholarship Fund and The Elyse E. Rogers ’76 Annual Scholarship Fund.
Rogers’ support of scholarships comes from a personal place: She was the first in her family to attend college. “It is embarrassing, but I wasn’t thinking beyond college, or if I was, it was only in the vaguest sense. I was very young, coming to LVC after my junior year in high school. No one in my immediate family had gone to college, and neither of my parents were high school graduates. My goal was to graduate from college, and then things would fall into place. Initially a psychology major, maybe a vague notion of

A great education opens doors, presents numerous personal and professional prospects, and enables graduates to fulfill careers that are essential to our society and way of life. “I’ve been privileged to serve as a trustee since 2003, and as chair since 2018. The simple truth is that money is essential to fulfilling our mission. LVC is an excellent steward of its financial resources, and we accomplish much with relatively limited resources. Take the work of our Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success staff. They integrate career preparation into the academic program starting during a student’s first semester on campus. The staff connect life skills to the high-quality work of our faculty and administration to prepare our graduates for rewarding careers. This innovative work is worth our financial support.

Kayleigh Johnson ’22, a double major in English and digital communications, receives a Rogers scholarship. “Receiving this and other scholarships enables me to focus on my studies rather than worrying about making ends meet. Scholarships provide peace of mind,” said Johnson, editor-in-chief of La Vie Collegienne. “It means a lot to receive a scholarship from an alumna who has been in my shoes. It’s great to see that people believe so much in what LVC does and wants to support students after they graduate,” added Johnson. “I’m extremely honored to be recognized for my work in and passion for the humanities. Her scholarship takes some weight off my shoulders and has allowed me to enjoy my education and LVC experience to a greater extent.”

She was also the first clinical chemist to be offered a fellowship to the American Heart Association Seminar on the Epidemiology and Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases. “The University Hospital program, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, allowed me to work with professionals and get a good feel for what being a scientist meant and how scientists work together to solve problems—the kind of experience you cannot get in a classroom setting.

“Many more students today need this type of assistance and therapies to navigate the college experience with success,” noted the Millers. “We wanted to provide financial support for the numerous students who find themselves in need of help during their undergraduate years. Our vision is to inspire others to support this significant need when crises surface. “We are encouraged by Lebanon Valley’s Mission Statement and the wonderful points the new president, Dr. James MacLaren, made during his October 2020 virtual gathering,” added the Millers. “We hope the fund will help students, like Kenneth, in their greatest time of need.” “I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to the Millers for their generous gift in the name of Kenneth,” said Jim Felty, LVC director of counseling services. “Kenneth’s life and memory will be honored by proKenneth A.

Helping Make LVC Athletics Competitive
The College recently began renovating athletic facilities to benefit the more than 600 LVC students who compete in intercollegiate athletics each year—about one-third of the student body. Facility highlights include: •
New locker rooms to provide individual lockers for our athletes for the first time in some of these Coach Brad McAlester

She also benefits from The William and Beverlee Lehr Scholarship, created by William Lehr Jr., Esq., H’19, former chair of the Board of Trustees, and his wife, Beverlee, in 2001. To date, more than 30 students have received Lehr scholarships. “My family, friends, and the LVC community made it possible for me to go further than I ever thought possible,” said Aziz. “Fortunately, I can pursue whatever I imagine at LVC, including a medical career, thanks to scholarship creators such as the Lehrs and Spanglers. “Through these donors’ gracious gifts, I participated in student-faculty research in the sciences. I can stay focused on my ultimate career goals, which include helping create equity in healthcare and becoming a physician who communicates with care

Gary and Susan Sterner are motivated to support LVC by the College’s reputation for producing outstanding musicians. Gary grew up in Adams County, Pa., and although he attended another local college, he became well-acquainted with The Valley through his avocation as a musician. Gary joined LVC students and alumni in several local bands during the 1950s and 60s, and says he was “always impressed by their talent. I knew they had received a great education not only in their music, but overall.” Now retired and living on San Juan Island in Washington, Gary and Susan looked to expand their philanthropy and thought of LVC. They established a Charitable Gift Annuity, which supplements their retirement income, and will benefit LVC students in the long term. Support from all donors and friends of Lebanon Valley College enhances a community that encourages interdisciplinary learning, student-faculty research across the curriculum, and high academic scholarship and achievement for faculty and staff. Please call 1-866-LVC-1866 or email development@lvc.edu to learn how you can help our students go further and achieve more.
