State Sen. Bob Duff received a Doctor of Humane Letters today from his alma mater, Lynchburg College. The school bestowed the honorary degree during its graduation exercises where Duff delivered the commencement address.
I was profoundly honored to accept this degree from Lynchburg College, said Duff. This recognition is more than I could have ever expected, and Im thankful to the administration, faculty and students for giving me such a tremendous honor.
Duff, who represents Connecticuts 25th District, graduated from Lynchburg College in 1993 with a degree in political science. While enrolled at the college in Virginia, he served as a student senator and intern for U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd.
Lynchburg College works to instill a strong sense of community in all its students as a hallmark, said Duff Thats a legacy to be proud of and a value Ive tried to carry with me since my days on that Virginia campus.
