LVC Live allows accepted students of the incoming class to meet professors, coaches and current students who are involved in a variety of clubs and organizations on campus.
This year, more than 300 students and their families were invited to attend the event held on March 17 in the Arnold Sports Center. Throughout the morning, students were also encouraged to attend optional informational programs, including campus tours, a residential life discussion and a hard-hat tour of the new Jeanne and Edward H. Arnold Health Professions Pavilion.
LVC President Dr. Lewis E. Thayne met future Dutchmen and their families during the event. He says that LVC Live is something he always looks forward to, largely because of the sense of community that the event creates.
“This event has a lot of energy around it, I think more this year than I’ve seen, and that’s exciting for me,” Thayne said. “That energy really comes from our current students.”
Nearly 40 accepted students officially enrolled at Lebanon Valley during LVC Live and will be back in the fall to start their collegiate careers at The Valley.
The theme for this year’s LVC Live was “Lucky to be a Dutchman”, with the event falling on St. Patrick’s Day.
President Thayne feels lucky to be a Dutchman, especially after being a part of events like LVC Live.
“Being the president of this college is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me in my professional life,” Thayne said.
