Trivia of the week -- A long tradition of leadership

Dr. B. Lyn Behrens

Identifying the name and years of service of Loma Linda University’s only female president was the challenge posed in last week’s trivia post. This special individual is B. Lyn Behrens, MBBS, who led the university from 1990 to 2008 — making her Loma Linda University’s longest-serving president. (Behrens was also president/CEO of Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center.)

Correctly answering this two-part question were randomly selected winners Robert Gutman, Valerie Vasquez and Myrna L. Hanna. Please email pr@llu.edu to claim your prize, which must be picked up within 60 days.

There is a long, unbroken tradition of female top leadership in one of Loma Linda University’s schools, dating all the way back to the university’s 1905 founding. For this week’s trivia challenge, can you name the first dean of that school when it reorganized at the baccalaureate level in the late 1940s?

To enter, mail your answer to pr@llu.edu by midnight Tuesday, Feb. 10, for the chance to be a random winner. One answer per person.
