MAKING LVC

World-ready After serving eight years as president, Dr. Lewis Evitts Thayne will retire from Lebanon Valley College, June 30, 2020. Dr. Thayne came to LVC from Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., where he served as vice president of college advancement since 2005. Among the myriad achievements of his eight-year tenure are the expansion of the health professions curriculum, construction of the $20-million Jeanne and Edward H. Arnold Health Professions Pavilion, recordsetting enrollment results, and The Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success, a state-of-the-art career resource center. Upon his arrival at LVC in 2012, Dr. Thayne spearheaded an effort to overhaul student learning assessment practices to secure the College’s accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Of the many outcomes from this effort, three stand out: The President’s Innovation Fund, a catalyst for 11 new academic majors; the creation of a new core

curriculum, Constellation LVC; and the widespread acceptance of data to inform institutional decisionmaking. Inclusive Excellence and a dedication to diversity have been a priority of Dr. Thayne’s presidency. In 2014, the College established an annual Symposium on Inclusive Excellence, a daylong event facilitating a commitment by LVC that every person should be able to achieve their highest potential. The focus on student success for life beyond the College has resulted in prestigious awards to LVC graduates. Over the past four years, 10 students and two faculty members have been awarded Fulbright grants, positioning the College as a Fulbright “Top Producer.” In a recent interview, President Thayne reflected on the transformation of the College, significant institutional strides made during his tenure, and what’s next for LVC.

Q: You said that on your first visit to Lebanon Valley College, you felt an immediate affinity for the students. Why do you think you felt that innate sense of connection? LET: In the beginning, it was intuitive. I stepped out of the car on my first visit, and within 20 minutes, I just knew that LVC was a good place—and that it would be the right place for Dorry and me. I immediately knew that I’d like to be part of shaping the future of this College. I grew up in a relatively small town in northeastern Pennsylvania. I went to school with students like the students I saw here. I have a deep respect for all our students. On our informal visit, they greeted me and held the door for Dorry. It was a Sunday morning, and already the students were headed to the Bishop Library. I looked at the statue of Cuewe-Pehelle and felt that her welcoming gesture defined the spirit of the place. In the time I have been here, I have spoken with many alumni who had the same intuition, the same experience. You just know; this is it, this is the right place for me. As I learned more about the College, I understood what needed to be done. I believed I had the right experience and skills to be able to address the important issues. The sense of connection with our students was always a powerful motivation to do so with urgency. Q: The College’s core values have endured, but LVC is in many ways quite different from how it was when you began your presidency in August 2012. What have been the most significant changes, and why did you choose those as institutional priorities? LET: Our values have not changed and should remain unchanged. Nevertheless, the College should always evolve and adapt to the generations of students coming through and the needs of society. There is an obligation to do so. At times, my role as president was to guide that change. Occasionally, my role was to instigate the change. In August 2012, the strengths of the College were apparent. LVC had an excellent faculty, several highdemand majors, a beautiful campus, and visibly strong co-curricular programs, notably our athletics program. But by 2012, several external and internal pressures had converged, pressures that began just after the 2008 financial crisis. We had not reached our enrollment goals and were beginning to see the need to change our enrollment model and well-established financial aid model. Even our academic program, constructed around cumbersome general education requirements, needed revision. Clearly, we wanted and needed to continue the work of making the College more inclusive.

Demand for programs of study was shifting toward programs that offer clear career pathways, so our academic model needed to be rebalanced to accommodate new programs. LVC’s commitment to a liberal arts education and our general education curriculum had to be affirmed, but it also had to be re-envisioned and reshaped. All of this had structural, cultural, and physical consequences. We tackled it all or as much as we could. It really has felt like a transformative period. We—the faculty, my colleagues on staff, students, trustees, and the community—dug in and went after the changes that needed to be made while keeping in line with our mission and values. We did so quickly to out-perform our many regional competitors and expand our educational and social impact. In my first week, we were informed that our accreditation was in jeopardy. I asked the faculty at, literally, our first meeting, “Who are we on our best day?” and then issued a call to action: “That’s who we should be presenting to Middle States and the world.” Then we got to work. I brought in a consultant, we asked difficult questions, listened to responses by faculty and staff at all levels, and assembled a working group to establish a plan and processes that addressed accreditation concerns within a year, months ahead of Middle States requirements. That was where we started. Some of the other changes are highly visible—in particular, the beautiful Jeanne and Edward H. Arnold Health Professions Pavilion, the first academic facility north of the railroad tracks, and an anchor project for uniting the campus through the enterprise of learning and student development. I am eternally grateful to Ed and Jeanne Arnold for their $10-million challenge gift and to the donors who responded to the challenge to make the pavilion a reality. Now our health professions students and faculty have the use of advanced instrumentation and labs where they acquire the skills they’ll need to provide high-quality healthcare. Another dramatic physical change is the replacement of the Pedestrian Bridge connecting North and South campus across the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks. As a construction project and coordination project, this one has been complex and challenging for Shawn Curtin [vice president of finance and administration] and our construction partners. But the new bridge is massive, sturdy, and stunning. It is well-lit and, most importantly, accessible. The new bridge, Arnold Pavilion, and upcoming renovation of the Heilman Center point the way to a future for LVC on the North Campus.

Q: What are some other elements of the transformation of the College during your tenure? LET: Our strategic plan refers to preparing “worldready” students. In today’s world, that is a very big commitment. In conversations with trustee Ed Breen, executive chairman of DuPont, I began to understand the need for a bigger vision around career resources. Our students and LVC graduates are needed in the world; they want to and are going to have an impact. But they must be prepared to do so. Thanks to a very generous gift from Ed and his wife, Lynn, we committed to the development of the Edward and Lynn Breen Center for Graduate Success, a hallmark of the LVC education and an innovative model in higher education. Unlike most college career centers, a faculty member leads the Breen Center, which functions organizationally within the academic enterprise. It offers human skills training, professional coaching and mentoring, and integrates that programming with academics, academic advising, and meaningful work experience throughout the students’ undergraduate career and past graduation. Some people call it a talent activation center. Soon, the Breen Center will launch a mobile app so students can access resources 24/7. A less visible, but no less significant element is the digital transformation of Lebanon Valley College. Quietly, steadily, and without fanfare, David Shapiro [senior director of information technology and chief information officer] and our Information Technology staff have introduced new applications, digital tools, and technology resources into the work of the College at every level. These initiatives make it possible to offer and begin to expand online education, to use data, and, ironically, to be more student-focused. We now offer more than 50 online courses every year, a number that has grown from zero in 2014. Our Strategic Enrollment Management Plan has also been transformative. It has enabled the College to staff appropriately, target school districts and individual high schools where we find students who will succeed at LVC, and build financial aid models that resulted in three successive record-setting first-year classes. Ed Wright [vice president of enrollment management] and his team have made enrollment a college-wide enterprise—and now the efforts include alumni and parents. A collective effort, targeted recruitment, and data-informed decisions have been transformative in this volatile higher education landscape. It’s hard work to navigate, but the rewards are so satisfying, particularly when you have the privilege of cheering on students as they cross the stage at Commencement.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Q: Diversity and inclusion have been part of the institutional strategy for a long time, but the focus specifically on Inclusive Excellence as a driving principle arose two years into your tenure. What led to the College’s embrace of Inclusive Excellence, and what does it mean to the community? LET: Inclusive Excellence means everyone at LVC— no exceptions—should find support in developing their highest potential in our learning community. There was an incident of bias in one of the residence halls in December 2014. Someone had written racist and homophobic language on the note pad on someone’s door. Students came to me and said, “This isn’t right. This isn’t good. It’s not the first time. These things happen all the time.” The pain our students felt was interfering with their well-being and ability to learn, and it was unacceptable from a moral and ethical perspective. I wrote to the College community to say simply: “We are not going to allow ourselves to be defined by prejudice. We’re better than this. We’re going to define ourselves by the strength of the LVC community, by inclusion.” There was community dialogue led by student affairs staff and a unity march led by students. And from that campus-wide effort, the annual Symposium on Inclusive Excellence was born. There had already been a planned gathering around Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, so we used that as an opportunity to bring the entire campus community together for a positive, constructive, and intentional approach to Inclusive Excellence. The Symposium has genuinely caught on throughout campus. The annual keynote session fills Frederic K. Miller Chapel to standing-room-only and the breakout sessions are lively, varied, and well attended. Students, faculty, and staff are leading many other initiatives to keep the College moving purposefully toward true Inclusive Excellence. Much more work needs to be done, but the College is on a very good path. Q: How would you sum up your presidency, and what are your hopes for LVC in the future? LET: If I had to, I would sum it up with one phrase: making LVC world-ready. One of the guiding principles for me and my presidency has been to have the institutional confidence and courage to allow the world in and to go out into the world. There was risk in doing so, but an even greater reward. Now, being world-ready is more crucial than ever. I’d like to be remembered as the president during a transformative time at the College. I didn’t drive all that transformation, that’s for sure. But it was a privilege to be here and to lead the College during this time, and I’m very proud of what we’ve done together.

For LVC, the future must include an even closer integration between the needs of our students and the needs of our region. This will lead to a greater commitment to applied knowledge, experiential learning, service learning, strategic partnerships, more graduate programs, empowered alumni networks, and lifelong learning. Our mission is grounded in this region. And we can see in the region a focus of effort and base of operations for an even broader impact.

graduate degrees, certificates, micro-credentials, and online experiences that differ vastly from what LVC has traditionally delivered. The College is already working with this future in mind. The faculty will need to take the lead in innovating, and LVC will need to support and facilitate their success.

In my view, LVC also needs to continue to forge mutually beneficial partnerships with business, industry, and healthcare organizations to give our students access to internships, jobs, clinical placements, and research opportunities. These partners—and, in turn, the region— will benefit from talent pipelines, the expertise of our faculty, and LVC’s facilities—for instance, the Lewis Human Performance Lab in the Arnold Pavilion. Winwin arrangements are the future of higher education.

LET: A period of sabbatical and then decisions about the next chapter in our lives. In the sabbatical period, first, we plan to head to Maine and then a family trip to Sicily. We’re very excited about sharing new experiences with our children and our granddaughter. Undoubtedly, Dorry and I will spend some time in the South of France. We kept our home in Lancaster, and that’s where we will live.

Nothing will change more than the role of faculty in the future. LVC will need to invest in the intellectual capital of the faculty—in their professional development. The digital age will require new pedagogies, new modalities, and even new disciplines. Students will be more diverse in age and ethnicity. Many will come with some college credits in hand; others will be first-generation and need personalized guidance. Many will seek

Q: What’s next for you and Dorry?

As for me, I don’t intend to retire from work. I will look for ways to contribute what I have learned from my experience in educational leadership. I’m exploring options to identify the best way to continue making an impact in higher education or organizations beyond education. I won’t speak for Dorry, but I am certain that art and creative expression and our family will be part of her decision-making process.
