During convocation on Wednesday, Aug. 22, Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. announced that billionaire TV personality and real estate executive Donald Trump will head to Liberty on Sept. 24 to speak to students during convocation. Trump, who entertained the thought of running for president in 2010 and 2011, has since endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Trump, who is more recently known for NBC’s reality show The Apprentice, began his successful real estate career under his father’s booming real estate company, Elizabeth Trump and Son, which was renamed The Trump Organization.

Trump has recently hit Virginia headlines when he purchased the $6 million Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard in Albemarle County in April 2011.

A buzz of excitement and surprise from the crowd followed the announcement that the well-known mogul will make his way to Lynchburg in about a month.
