In a dedication and grand opening ceremony attended by more than 400 people, the Wilson Library and Landis Academic Center was admired and celebrated on Saturday, Feb. 3.
The Wilson Library and Landis Academic Center opening and dedication last Saturday in front of the Wilson Library was open to students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the University.
While high school tracksters gathered outside, the University of La Verne Board of Trustees came together for its bi-annual meeting in the Presidents Dining Room Saturday.
ULV’s Board of Trustees has named the University’s newest building, currently under construction, the Landis Academic Center in honor of Richard and Beth Landis, prominent supporters of the University.
Three candidates are currently under consideration for the post of vice president of university relations at ULV. Nancy V. Loshkajian, John G. "Tom" Tomlinson and Clayton N. Pheasant are in the running to replace Dr. Biff Green, who left La Verne in April to become president of Friends University in Kansas. The Search Committee hopes to make the decision within a few weeks.
A weekend full of centennial activities begins at 10:30 a.m. today with Pulitzer prize winner Dr. Leonard Levy serving as guest speaker at the all-school convocation in Founders Hall Auditorium.
