We were honored to have VWU Trustee Susan Goode, our building namesake, with us at today's groundbreaking ceremony. Susan and her husband, David, are enthusiastic advocates for the arts, not only recognizing the importance of these disciplines, but believing they are absolutely fundamental to a comprehensive liberal arts education.

Goode School of Arts and Humanities and Professor of Theatre at Virginia Wesleyan.
