LYNCHBURG, Va. (WFXR) — Liberty University has announced that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be its keynote speaker during Convocation on Friday, April 14, where he will speak to the student body.
The event, which will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the Vines Center, is a longstanding tradition at Liberty that welcomes policy leaders and influential voices in America’s conservative movement.
“We are pleased to announce that Liberty University will be hosting Gov.
