People
are any organization's greatest asset. And we are incredibly fortunate
to have great people at Virginia Wesleyan—people who are committed to
our institution and its mission.
Last Friday we honored 22
employees who have reached special milestones in their Virginia Wesleyan
careers—from those who have reached 10 years of service to those who
have been here for 30 years! Congratulations to these employees, listed
below, and thank you for all that you do for Virginia Wesleyan every
day. Read more about the Employee Appreciation Reception on the Virginia Wesleyan website and view the photo gallery.
