Nota Bene: Corporate Leaders Council Spring Business Roundtable

Virginia Wesleyan University will host the Corporate Leaders Council on campus today for its Spring Business Roundtable meeting. I look forward to discussing internship offerings, sharing details about the student-led Marlin Prestige Business Conference, and updating the Council on campus master plan and strategic planning progress and upcoming events.

The Corporate Leaders Council is comprised of business leaders from Coastal Virginia who embrace, embody, and align with the University’s vision and values in their management practices. Their personal and professional influence and support ensure that our students can participate in opportunities that will prepare them for meaningful lives and careers.
