Tribute to Arthur Loeben

It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the passing of long-time Montgomery County Community College advocate Arthur Loeben on Oct. 18, 2011 at age 92.

Mr. Loeben (1919-2011) served as the Director of the Montgomery County Planning Commission for 38 years, until his retirement 1995. In that role, he was instrumental in helping to select the location for the College's campuses—first in Conshohocken, and later in Blue Bell.

Along with founding President Dr. Leroy Brendlinger and founding Trustees Dwight Dundore and Charles Kahn, Mr. Loeben served on the Committee to Extend Educational Opportunities in Montgomery County, which in 1962 met with regional stakeholders to garner support for the College's establishment. He was also instrumental in helping Temple University establish its Ambler campus.

Mr. Loeben remained a strong supporter of Montgomery County Community College's mission throughout his life. He funded two student scholarships through the College's Foundation: the Arthur Loeben in Earth Science Scholarship and the Billy Joe Loeben in Music Scholarship, named in memory of his late wife.
