As we finish our first year at Virginia Wesleyan, Annie and I enjoyed dinner with some of our first year faculty. Thanks to all of the Virginia Wesleyan Family for the warm welcome!

Enjoyed being with Isabel Presas (President), Don Bersing and Walt North at the Rotary Club of Town Center Virginia Beach today during their meeting. Served as today's Rotary Speaker. On Friday, Walt presented The Rotary Club of Town Center Virginia Beach Citizenship Award to VWC senior, Brooke Totzeck, during the College's spring honors convocation.

Virginia Wesleyan College unanimous No.1 in NCFC Division III national softball poll:

May 4, 2016

I had the pleasure recently of attending "Feathers in Your Cap: A Celebration of Faculty Work” in Hofheimer Library. The event recognized Virginia Wesleyan faculty, adjunct professors, librarians, and staff who in the last year have published a book or professional publication, obtained a grant, and received tenure and/or promotion. I was impressed by both the quality and quantity of work displayed, and I am honored to work among extraordinarily talented faculty who are so strongly committed to excellence in both teaching and scholarship.

On display were works and accomplishments by:

Kevin Adams                              Kevin Kittredge
The late Tina Aldrich                  Susan Larkin
Soraya Bartol                             Stephen Leist
