Emeritus Status for Special Friends of VWU

As they each prepare for retirement this spring, Board Chair David Kaufman and I had the pleasure of bestowing emeritus status upon two very special friends—Provost and Vice President Dr. Timothy O’Rourke (Vice President Emeritus), who has served as chief academic officer at VWU for 12 years, and Debbie Hicks (Dean Emeritus), Assistant Provost and Director of the Learning Center, who has been a part of the Marlin Family since 1989. We are tremendously grateful for their meaningful and lasting contributions to our campus and our community.
