Donald Trump: First Speaker to Be Broadcast Live to 90,000 Liberty University Students, On-campus and Online
LYNCHBURG, Va., Sept. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., announced that Donald Trump's address to the Liberty University student body is "the most highly anticipated in the history of our Convocation, and his audience will be the largest ever." He continued, "we have never received this amount of positive feedback for a single Convocation speaker. The themes of Mr. Trump's newest book, 'Time To Get Tough: Making America #1 Again' obviously resonate with the Liberty community and could make him the most popular Convocation speaker in our history."
Due to the massive response by the local community, and limited seating in the 10,000-seat Vines Center, Liberty University has made two satellite locations available for the overflow audience. Thousands of additional viewers will be able to watch the event LIVE in the Thomas Road Baptist Church sanctuary, and in the Towns Alumni Lecture Hall.
In addition, technological advances will make the event accessible to Liberty's more than 80,000 online students.
"This speech will be viewed live by the largest number of students in the 40 year history of Liberty University," said Chancellor Falwell.
