It was a tremendous honor today to welcome families, friends and other
distinguished guests of our December graduates at our celebration in the
Jane P. Batten Center. The day was an incredible milestone in the
lives of 43 new Virginia Wesleyan alumni and it is so gratifying to
share in the excitement of this remarkable achievement. Special kudos to
keynote speaker Professor Clayton J. Drees, bottom picture, our 2015
Samuel Nelson Gray Distinguished Teaching Award recipient. Dr. Drees
reflected on his 24 years at this distinctive liberal arts college and
offered five tips for success. The platform party: Rev. Greg West
(Chaplain), Tim O'Rourke (Vice President for Academic Affairs) and Prof.
Drees.
