Here at Liberty we have two parental figures that don’t seem to fit the mold of father and mother. Yet, they have catered to us, their students just like their own. Jerry Jr. and Becki Falwell are the “First Family” of Liberty. I’d just like to go out on a limb and say that Jerry and Becki really have fostered their 13,000 residential students here in Lynchburg, VA. There are three things that make them stand out from any other college or university's First Family on the planet.
1. They are present.
They come to EVERYTHING and enjoy every minute. Football games, Hockey games, Basketball games, Volleyball tournaments, Theatre productions, Convocations, and much more. They even travel to watch The Flames play in many sports. They love supporting LU in every aspect. Their attendance is notable and students love taking pictures with them everywhere they go.
2. They are family lovers.
On any social media site that they have accounts you can tell they love their family and love welcoming others to be apart of their family time. They take friends on vacations and invite students over to their home. They love making memories with each other--- The students can see this through their social media life. There is something heart-warming about leaders that love their own families.
3. They believe in us.
We beg Jerry on twitter for snow days and he loves responding in humorous ways. They invite students up to their suite during football games to pig out on their own buffet. They just know how to make us feel like their own children. They encourage us and reach out to us over many platforms through social events, social media, and even required events like convocation. They welcome us into the Liberty family on the day we step foot onto campus and see us through to graduation.
Most of the students are very aware and knowlegable about the Falwell family. Most students hope for the chance to get a picture with Jerry and Becki when they are on campus. Most students truly enjoy the relationship they show towards Liberty.
Personally, I am so thankful for them and just as an innocent by-stander I have watched and been fully encouraged to serve Christ more whole-heartedly because of their walk in faith. Thanks President Falwell and Becki for leading and ENJOYING Liberty University just like your own family.
We love you MOM AND DAD!!!
See y'all tomorrow!
