December Notes from the Provost
From Homecoming and Veterans’ Day to Thanksgiving, November was a month to celebrate our people, recognize our achievements and rejoice in our successes.
The college hosted a number of events on campus for Veterans Day to honor those who have served and sacrificed in support of America’s freedom. Among the highlights were the annual Veterans Day Breakfast in the Daniel Library and a special public performance on November 11 by the Summerall Guards on the USS Yorktown at Patriot’s Point.
November also brought the exciting news of a , to fund the new Krause School of Leadership and Ethics. The college’s sixth academic school will combine the Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics with the college’s Department of Leadership Studies, reinforcing Ã山ǿ¼é’s position among the foremost institutions in the nation dedicated to principled leadership.
In other good news, the Office of Admissions has had a successful three months under the direction of Lt. Col. Chad Faber, USN, Ret. This semester, they hosted a total of 730 high school students and parents through the Inside the Gates overnight program—a 57% increase over last year’s attendance at this point in the academic year.
We celebrate their hard work and the hard work of all of our faculty and staff. You are the lifeblood of this institution and the reason for our success.
With best wishes for a happy holiday season,
Brigadier General Sally Selden, Ph.D, SPHR
Provost and Dean of the College
