Kara Hess Receives Arnold Grant

2016 May 25

Kara Hess of Reinholds, Pa., is one of 27 students who will complete an internship, collaborate with faculty on research, or conduct a scholarly project at Lebanon Valley College as a result of an Arnold Grant. Hess, a graduate of Cocalico Senior High School, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in music business and music at The Valley.

This grant will enable the College's Organ Guild to travel to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janiero, Brazil for a residence at two universities. Dr. Moorman-Stahlman and the students will raise awareness of the pipe organ and teach Brazilian students how to hold a pipe organ encounter.

These high-impact experiences are made possible by the continued generosity of Ed Arnold H'87, trustee emeritus, and Jeanne Donlevy Arnold H'08, member of the College's Board of Trustees. The Arnolds established The Edward H. Arnold and Jeanne Donlevy Arnold Program for Experiential Education in 2011. Through the program, the Arnolds award up to $50,000 per year to support student-faculty research across the curriculum, independent student summer research or scholarly projects, and independent student domestic or international internships.
