PRAYERReunion Decade of the '70s

Prayer Room Project

During our amazing and memorable reunion in April, Jonathan Falwell suggested a project for the ’70s pioneers—to fund the interior furnishing of the Global Prayer Room in the new Champion Center on the Liberty University campus.

It’s time to accept that challenge, and our goal is to raise $100,000 for the new Pioneer Global Prayer Room.

The University has set up a dedicated URL just for this project, so that we can be assured that every dollar contributed goes to the intended purpose.

We have already sent in our contribution. Will you join us? As the pioneers of what is now a world-class university, let’s establish an enduring legacy for the generations of students to come.

Decade of the ’70s

ABOUTAbout the Reunion

Attending the Decade of the ’70s Liberty Reunion was a unique opportunity to reconnect with old friends, celebrate shared memories, and honor the roots of Liberty’s legacy. It was a chance to relive the spirit of the 1970s—a time of bold faith, lasting friendships, and foundational moments in both personal and campus history. Whether you were a student or a member of the faculty and staff, you experienced the birth of the university firsthand. This reunion offered a meaningful way to reflect on how far we’ve come, rekindle community, and be inspired by how God has worked through the decades.

The students from the beginning and early years of Liberty University hold a special place in the school’s legacy. As pioneers, we laid the foundation for what would become one of the largest Christian universities in the world. We embraced a bold vision, sacrificing comfort and resources to be part of something greater than ourselves. Our faith, resilience and dedication helped shape the culture, values and spirit that continue to define Liberty today. Our stories remind current and future generations of the power of purpose-driven education and the importance of building on a strong spiritual and academic heritage.

Still basking in the afterglow of the 70’s reunion this week. What a miracle that was experienced five decades ago was remembered this past week.

Lamar and Theresa Keener

After months of planning, the event has come to a close—but the memories will stay with us. We are deeply grateful to each of you for coming and making this time together so meaningful. We left encouraged knowing that the flame we share continues to burn brightly in the world.

What a wonderful time of renewing old friendships and celebrating what God has done and is still doing at Liberty University.

Dana Pritchard Johnson

What a great weekend. I just ditto everything said. Let’s not wait 50 years to do this again.

Debbie Fusco Zechini

I had 4 wonderful days with Mike seeing so many of his old LU friends that he remembers so fondly! It was great for me to put faces with all these names I’ve heard over our past 46 years of marriage! Our hearts were deeply touched by so many things! We will never forget this time and are grateful for all who put it together!!

Bob Dunn

What an incredible time to roll back many years & decades to relive the “glory years” of when LU was LBC and we all pioneered life with no physical campus, no nice dorms, no multiple choices for meals & lots of rules and demerits for just about everything! But those months and years formed deep character, vision and a passion to serve in the name of Jesus.

Brenda Frazier Collins

It was a great time seeing my college friends and making new friends. Thanks to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to attend Liberty University. It’s hard to believe that I graduated 50 years ago.

Lynn Davidson Daugherty

So blessed and thankful to be here at our LU reunion and see all that God has done. It just keeps getting better! To God be the Glory!

Karen Kennedy

It’s a blessing to be there at the beginning and to witness all the changes towards the end of our time. A blessing to look at the names on the buildings and street signs and to feel that real connection. The honor of seeing the Jerry Falwell museum and seeing his place of burial.. knowing his body is there but he is with our Lord in peace…… thank you so much… for thinking of us and giving us this true gift of a reunion.

Deborah Seneff

The stories we shared brought laughter for sure! We’ve all had fruitful and faithful lives. This reunion was exemplary and all the work involved was soo appreciated. Haven’t been so hugged in such a short amount of time by so many pioneers! May God continue to bless the legacy and imprint we’ve all left behind at our beloved Alma mater and increase the faith and steadfastness of those students who have come behind us.

Margaret Martin Vaughan Chavis

This past weekend was such a great time. I had no idea what nor who I would see. To see and reminisce with the people of the 70’s was a great blessing.
