Fall of Berlin Wall opened LWC to students for Eastern Europe Click on headline for full story, photo By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Relations If you want to understand one of the consequences of the fall of the Berlin Wall, take a look at Lindsey Wilson College's undergraduate student body.
