A significant financial contribution has been made to enhance the field of psychology at Muhlenberg College. Ronald F. Levant, Ed.D. GP’09, has pledged a $1 million gift to establish an endowed professorship in psychology. This donation will be complemented by an additional $1 million from the estate of Edward ’42 and Lois Robertson, ensuring that the faculty in psychology will be sustained for generations to come.
