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.

The combined efforts of Levant and the Robertson estate highlight a commitment to advancing psychological education and research at the institution.
The establishment of this professorship is expected to significantly enhance the college's academic offerings and provide students with access to leading experts in the field. Such initiatives not only enrich the educational experience but also contribute to the broader understanding of psychological science in society.
