Nota Bene: Welcome, Board of Trustees

Today we’ll welcome the Virginia Wesleyan University Board of Trustees to campus for their spring meeting.

Trustees will hear reports and take action on a variety of topics from the Committee on Trusteeship as well as the Committees of Academic Affairs, Administration and Finance, Advancement, Audit, Enrollment, and Student Affairs. They will also hear special presentations on our 12-month academic model and the Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center, and Professor Steven Emmanuel will be recognized for his 2018 SCHEV Outstanding Faculty Award. Senior Nich Hipple, president of the Student Government Association, will share reflections from his time at Wesleyan and present the Senior Class Gift.

As the University’s governing body, the Board of Trustees supports our mission, secures adequate financial resources for institutional operations, and establishes long-range goals and institutional policies. Trustees are elected to staggered terms and include leaders from business and industry, education, and the United Methodist Church.

We are pleased to have some of the most admired and respected leaders from our community guiding our Board, chaired by David Kaufman, and we look forward to a productive meeting this morning.
