Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will speak at Liberty University’s Convocation for the first time April 14. 

DeSantis has served the state of Florida as governor since 2019. He graduated from Yale University and Harvard Law School, and he served in the U.S. Navy within the Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps. His military honors include the Bronze Star Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal. 

“We are pleased to announce that Liberty University will be hosting Gov. Ron DeSantis as a Convocation speaker next month,” Liberty Interim President Jerry Prevo said. “As a university that is committed to training Champions for Christ with academic excellence, it is important for our students to hear from some of the nation’s top influential leaders who are committed to the Christian faith while serving in the public square.”

Upcoming Convocation guests for the spring 2023 semester include pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church Jack Graham (April 19) and pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Jack Hibbs (April 21).
