Class of '76
Jon Bennett graduated from Bryan College in May 1976 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. He represents the third generation of the Levengood family connected to Bryan College. His grandfather, Rev. Albert J. Levengood, served on the Bryan faculty from 1938–1944, and his mother, Grace (Levengood) Bennett, graduated from Bryan in 1942.
Following graduation, Jon began a 36-year career with a global oil and gas company, serving in a variety of accounting and finance leadership roles in both Cleveland, Ohio, and Houston, Texas.
Jon and his wife, Pam, attend Cypress Bible Church in Texas, where Jon has faithfully served in several lay leadership roles, including as a volunteer staff member overseeing the church’s Global Missions Program from 2015–2018. He has also served as a lay elder and has contributed his leadership experience on the boards of three nonprofit organizations.
In their retirement years, Jon and Pam enjoy traveling and have lovingly “parented” three Pembroke Welsh Corgis. A devoted sports enthusiast, Jon has attended sporting events at more than 200 different venues across the country.
