After growing up in Centre County with two parents employed at Penn State, Alvin de Levie graduated from the university in 1973. He went on to earn a degree from Villanova Law School in 1976 and still practices as an attorney today in State College. With a deep-rooted connection to Penn State and the surrounding community, de Levie feels he is the perfect candidate for one of the three available alumni-elected positions on Penn State’s Board of Trustees. He sat down with Onward State to discuss his platform and the upcoming election. He pointed toward his upbringing, which heavily featured Penn State and the borough, as an influence on his life.
