This week we paid tribute to three retiring faculty members at the traditional Virginia Wesleyan commemorative tree-planting ceremony in the new extension to the Wilson Arboretum. My gratitude to Michael Hall (40 years of service), Jayne Sullivan (20 years of service), and Hilve Firek (10 years of service) for their commitment and immeasurable contributions to Virginia Wesleyan and beyond. Please join me in congratulating each of these special Marlins on this well-deserved milestone!
