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.
This endowed professorship aims to attract and retain top-tier educators and researchers in psychology, fostering an environment of academic excellence and innovation. 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.
