I am thrilled to announce that Virginia Wesleyan College has once again
been recognized by the Professional Grounds Management Society (PGMS)
with an Honor Award in its 2016 Green Star Awards
competition. The College has been acknowledged for exceptional
maintenance of its 300-acre campus in the University and College Grounds
category.
Mike Rigby, Virginia Wesleyan’s Assistant Director of
Physical Plant Operations, Grounds and Housekeeping, accepted the award
on behalf of the College during the annual PGMS School of Grounds
Management held Oct. 19-22 in Louisville, Kentucky. PGMS Past President
John Doiron presented the award (view photo).
The
Green Star Awards program brings national recognition to grounds
maintained with a high degree of excellence and complements other
national award programs that recognize landscape design and
construction.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Virginia
Wesleyan has earned a Green Star Award. Special thanks to Vice President
for Operations Bruce Vaughan, Director of Physical Plant Operations
Robert Levinsky, Assistant Director of Physical Plant Operations,
Grounds and Housekeeping Mike Rigby, and the entire Grounds staff.
Their
outstanding efforts help us present Virginia Wesleyan College in the
best possible light, and we are all proud to call this beautiful campus
“home.”
