Alexander Loy of Landisburg Graduates from Lebanon Valley College

2012 May 22

Alexander C. Loy of Landisburg, Pa., was among more than 430 students to graduate from Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pa., Saturday, May 12. Commencement ceremonies, held on the beautiful Academic Quad, included an address by Dr. Catherine Romagnolo, associate professor of English and winner of the 2011 Thomas Rhys Vickroy Award for teaching.

Romagnolo wondered what the first graduating class at LVC, the class of 1870, would have been thinking as they prepared to move on from college, and offered this advice: "Never underestimate the power of words, use your words to make change, circulate a discourse of kindness and acceptance, and your world will be an accepting and kind place to live. 'Put an alternative discourse into circulation.'"

Loy earned a bachelor of science degree in music education. Loy graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Loy is a graduate of West Perry High School.
