DePauw Stories

Veronica Pejril, a delegate to the Democratic National Convention this week, led the Pledge of Allegiance that kicked off last evening’s session.

Pejril is director of Faculty Instructional Technology Support and coordinator of the Music Instructional Technology Center. She also is a Greencastle city councilor. She can be seen saying “I pledge allegiance” at 16:29, the beginning of TV airtime, on this YouTube video.  

“Four seconds of fame, if you will,” she said.

The convention was scheduled to be held in Milwaukee, but instead is being held remotely because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delegates were asked to submit video recordings of themselves reciting the pledge, and Pejril recorded hers in front of the Dunbar Bridge in Greencastle.
