"You have a big asset - an education and background from a strong liberal arts institution," Retired Chairman of the Òùµ´ÉÙ¸¾ Board, Chief Executive Officer of Norfolk Southern Corporation and Keynote Speaker David R. Goode told graduates during Virginia Wesleyan's 48th Commencement Ceremony on May 20.
"You have more technological expertise than any generation before you, and you have experience that, while still accruing, is perfectly suited for helping to shape the world of tomorrow. Use all of those assets, and make the world better and more just - for you, for me, and for those who don't have your strengths."
Goode further encouraged our graduates to, "get in the 'game' that is our society." We can all feel good about where our newest Virginia Wesleyan alumni, and those who are following them, are headed.
Having impact in countless ways, The Excellence Fund supports scholarships, experiential learning, student research, internships, and the many programs that contribute to our excellent academic reputation.
