Tonight we celebrated our good friend and colleague Joanne Renn, who retires this summer from her post as Virginia Wesleyan's Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. I was proud to announce that the grassy plains and pond area at the outdoor athletic complex has been named in Joanne's honor as "Renn Reserve and Pond." We also presented her with several tokens of appreciation—a plaque honoring her with the distinction of Athletics Director Emeritus, a resolution from the VWU Board of Trustees recognizing her 25 years of service, and a traditional Virginia Wesleyan commemorative chair. We wish Joanne the best in retirement and hope she returns to campus often to cheer on her Marlins!
