Congratulations, once again, to the Class of 2022! We hope our graduates, along with their families and friends, enjoyed our Commencement ceremony on Saturday in the Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center. What a great way to close this calendar year!
We thank Congressman Bobby Scott for delivering the keynote address. We hope his message encouraging our graduates to stay engaged and to use their education to help develop public policy is one that the Class of 2022 takes to heart. Congressman Scott and Dr. James V. Koch, former university president, economist and noted author, were presented honorary degrees during our ceremony.
We also presented faculty awards to Dr. William McConnell, Associate Professor of Education and Director of Teacher Education, for Distinguished Scholarship and Dr. Elizabeth Malcolm, Professor of Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences and Director of Sustainability, for Campus Service. We thank them for their dedication to our students and to the advancement of this university.
We hope to see members of the Class of 2022 back on campus for Spring Alumni Weekend on April 14-15. We offer our best wishes to them as they embark on the next stage of their journey of lifelong learning.
