I can't say enough good things about these wonderful people who mean so
much to Virginia Wesleyan College. It was my pleasure this week to
recognize them with special distinctions. At the top of the list was the
introduction of the Batten Honors College, named for Jane P. (front
center) and her late husband, Frank. An additional unprecedented
transformation is the structuring of Virginia Wesleyan’s academic
divisions. The College will now consist of three schools devoted to specific
areas of study: the Susan S. Goode (front left) School of Arts and
Humanities, the Joan P. Brock (front right) School of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences, and the Birdsong (standing, George and Sue) School of
Social Science. Each school honors longtime Virginia Wesleyan
supporters, each of whom has served in various capacities on the
College’s Board of Trustees.
