Special thanks to Mayor of Portsmouth John Rowe for sharing this photo with our student volunteers at Calvary Baptist Church as part of Virginia Wesleyan's 2018 Off-Campus Homeless Shelter experience. This week, we have more than 70 students engaging in service-learning and civic engagement opportunities at shelter sites throughout our community in partnership with Portsmouth Volunteers for the Homeless. I am proud of the work they are doing and grateful to our faculty members Takeyra Collins, Kathy Stolley, and Robin Takacs for leading this effort.
