Thank you to all who joined us August 22 for my State of the University address, whether in person or online. Since I became president of Virginia Wesleyan in 2015, we have transitioned from an aspiring college to an inspiring university. We have built an outstanding academic reputation, we have forged new partnerships, developed innovative programs, and enhanced our leadership within Hampton Roads, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the nation. I shared many points of pride during the address, but was especially pleased to note that we begin our new academic year with two new nationally prominent additions that speak to our innovative spirit, an understanding of our enrollment potential, and the power of philanthropy. With the opening of the Batten Honors College and the completion of the Greer Environmental Sciences Center, we have expanded our teaching, research, and service toward the vital goals of studying and preserving the natural environment. If you were unable to join us, I invite you to read the State of the University address in or watch the recorded broadcast. You may also view a photo gallery from the event.
