Nota Bene: GESC and Batten Honors College in the News

In Tuesday's State of the University Address, I announced that Virginia Wesleyan University opens the academic year with two new additions that have brought us national distinction—the Greer Environmental Sciences Center and the Batten Honors College.  Both have attracted significant media attention.

This recent feature about the Greer Environmental Sciences Center appeared in Inside Business and the Virginian-Pilot:

The University also received great coverage this week on the Batten Honors College, which welcomed its inaugural class to campus Sunday with a Matriculation Ceremony:
