Stover Center Lecture Series: Robert L. Vernon Monday, October 22 and Tuesday, October 23 7 p.m.
Robert L. Vernon, former Assistant Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Police Department and President of the Pointman Institute, will return as the Visiting Stover Constitutional Fellow. Vernon’s lectures, titled “Daniel: Being a Successful Leader in a Hostile Culture,” are appropriately focused on the Book of Daniel, and will explain how God used a college-aged person to make a profound impact on His world. Vernon’s lectures will underscore the principles that reveal the secret of Daniel’s success.
Vernon is also the author of L.A. Justice: Lessons from the Firestorm, which focuses on the civil unrest that occurred following the trial (1992) of the LAPD officers charged in the Rodney King Case (1991). In L.A. Justice, Vernon provides an insider’s view of how the LAPD responded to those events. Vernon completed undergraduate work at Biola University and California State College in California, and received his master’s degree in business administration from Pepperdine University in 1974. In addition to his academic degrees, Vernon graduated from the Managerial Policy Institute in 1977 and the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Executive Institute in 1987. Chief Vernon will also meet with the Stover Scholars and visit several criminal justice and political science classes. In addition to his two public lectures, Vernon will preach at the University’s weekly chapel service Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 11 a.m. in Roberts Chapel.
