LIBERTY STUDENT NEWS

A Liberty University student, along with the help from an NBA star and an LU alumnus, held an event that raised $10,000 and gathered 20,000 shoes that have helped thousands in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Almost 20 years ago, Emmanuel Ntibonera, now an M.B.A. student at LU, was a refugee from the Congo, which was in the middle of a bloody war that left 5.4 million dead. He eventually emigrated to the U.S. with his parents and eight younger siblings.

Before Liberty University moves to the FBS ranks, fans can expect big changes and improvements coming to Williams stadium ahead of the 2019 football season.

This expansion will bring seating capacity up to 25,000.

Fans will also see a new scoreboard, more food options, road improvements and new bus loading and unloading areas to improve road and foot traffic.

Liberty University has announced that it will be expanding the recently launched James C. Dobson Center for Child Development, Marriage, & Family Studies.

The Lynchburg, Virginia-based evangelical school cited an “overwhelming response” from the student body for the Dobson program, which is part of the School of Behavioral Sciences.
