Nota Bene: Spring Alumni Weekend Coming April 13-14

Last year we hosted Virginia Wesleyan’s first-ever Spring Alumni Weekend. A great time was had by all as we created new traditions and celebrated long-time favorites—from our inaugural scroll-signing ceremony to the annual Seafood Party in the Dell and Strike Out Cancer events. I am delighted to share that this year’s Spring Alumni Weekend is scheduled for April 13-14.

Our campus community is invited to relax and reunite at our very first Spring Pig-Pickin’ Picnic, cheer on old friends in Pie Eating and Hot Dog Eating Contests, and root for former classmates in athletic contests and alumni games. A special scroll-signing ceremony will commemorate the 25th graduation anniversary of the Class of 1993, and the weekend will also include the 36th Annual Seafood Party in the Dell. Special early-bird pricing will be available through March 31. View the full schedule and register online today:

It is truly an exciting time to be a graduate of Virginia Wesleyan. We've raised our profile with our transition to a University; the addition of new graduate programs and an online-learning division; the launch of the Batten Honors College; expansion of our campus facilities through various capital projects; finalization of our 10-year Campus Master Plan; a new academic-based Strategic Plan; and much more.

Opportunities for alumni to get involved with their alma mater help the University in building important connections to our graduates while also underscoring the valuable role they play in the vibrant life of our campus.

On these occasions, as always, it's a great day to be a Marlin!
