NORFOLK/VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
MAY 2016
Beloved Hampton Roads civic leader Robert C. "Bob" Nusbaum was honored by Virginia Wesleyan College April 25 for his original vision and enduring support of Wesleyan's Center for the Study of Religious Freedom. During the College's annual Justine L. Nusbaum Lecture, I had the honor of presenting Bob with a special citation recognizing him as the Founding Fellow of the Center, created in 1996 to promote religious freedom and understanding of different faiths. It was a pleasure to welcome Bob (center), his wife, Linda Laibstain (left), and other family and friends to campus to express our gratitude for his commitment to Virginia Wesleyan College in this vital way.  More
