Nota Bene: Faculty/Staff Annual Fund Campaign Exceeds Goal

November 9, 2015
 
As most of you know, the Virginia Wesleyan College Faculty/Staff Campaign concluded on October 30. I am pleased to report that we ended the campaign with participation from 72% of our faculty and staff, surpassing our goal of 70% and outpacing last year's participation rate of 67%!
 
Thank you to the 208 members of our faculty and staff who demonstrated their support for the College by making gifts and pledges totaling $51,951. Your support of the Annual Fund provides students with high impact, independent learning opportunities. The generous provisions you have provided are greatly appreciated and serve as a fine example of your commitment to Virginia Wesleyan.
