Nota Bene: Transformation in the Commonwealth

In the October issue of Enrollment Manager, Dwyer Education Strategies highlights our institution in its cover story, “The Commonwealth is Witnessing a Transformation at Virginia Wesleyan University in Virginia Beach.” The article chronicles the successes we’ve achieved on campus in the last 24 months, including academic expansion and restructuring, new buildings and infrastructure, athletic enhancements and success, and enrollment growth.

“Major transformations of higher education institutions, although rare, certainly are not new,” the article reads. “This newsletter has reported on several colleges and universities over the last 13 years that have made amazing progress turning around downward trends. The recent outcomes at Virginia Wesleyan University are unique in both the breadth of positive change and success achieved during an exceptionally short period of time.”

When I slow down and reflect on what we have accomplished here at Virginia Wesleyan in the last two years, I am overwhelmed with pride and gratitude. I want to congratulate each of you—our Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, students, alumni, and dear friends of the institution. Your continued commitment is inspirational to me, and I assure you that your efforts are significantly appreciated.

Congratulations, once again!
