We are off to an incredible start with the Batten Honors College. Hard to believe it was a year ago that these students were contending for a place among the inaugural class, and tonight they are here assisting us with the competition for our second class. We welcomed the first cohort last fall in conjunction with the opening of the Greer Environmental Sciences Center, and these two prominent additions have secured a national niche for Virginia Wesleyan University in the natural sciences.
