When Dr. Thomas F. Flynn took over the presidency at Alvernia University in 2005, the future looked bright.
The university was growing rapidly, and officials were putting together an aggressive plan to expand the campus in the next decade.
Then the recession hit in 2008, just as the university began not only its strategic plan, but its first comprehensive capital campaign.
Despite the challenges of the past five years, Alvernia flourished and moved forward faster with its plans than anyone expected.
