For those of you looking through my sight, let me explain why you see a bunch of postings over a short period of time in January. I started this sight in August and have been writing articles weekly. However, a few days ago, my database that stored all my content was deleted by accident. Therefore, I had to start this sight from scratch and add all my articles back. Please excuse the error. The content is still good stuff.

Liberty University’s Distance Learning Program has been ranked among the nation’s elite. LU ranked third in the second annual Online College Ranking by the Online Education Database released today.
“We should all be proud of what Liberty’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Ron Godwin, and Executive Director of Distance Learning and Graduate Studies, Ron Kennedy, have accomplished in their leadership of Liberty’s Distance Learning Program. I have recently become better acquainted with many of the faculty and staff in distance learning and have been impressed with their professionalism and competence. The enrollment has nearly doubled to 22,000 students in less than a year without sacrificing quality or academic excellence. Given the performance of our faculty and staff, I am not surprised to learn of how highly Liberty University was ranked nationally today among distance learning programs.

By Ron Brown
The enrollment for Liberty University’s Distance Learning Program on Thursday topped the 20,000 mark for the first time.
Registrar Lawrence Shackleton confirmed the enrollment figures in an e-mail to school officials Thursday afternoon.
Officially, the enrollment topped 20,000 at 1:45 p.m.
“It’s an exciting day,” said Ronald S. Kennedy, Executive Director of Distance Learning and Graduate Studies.
Last school year, the distance learning program finished with about 18,000 students.
“We are looking at a 10 percent growth year to date with six months still ahead of us,” Kennedy said. “We are hoping to surpass 25,000 students by May or early June.”
Kennedy credits “God’s blessing” for the program’s growth.
“He’s certainly smiled upon us,” he said. “I have a good staff that is very dedicated. They’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done. It takes a willing heart to come in and work some of those long hours. They are the backbone that makes the program what it is today.”
