VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
FEBRUARY 2018

Virginia Wesleyan University was recognized January 25 as one of the finest environmental stewards on the Elizabeth River, receiving the top-tier Model Level designation at the Elizabeth River Project's annual River Stars Recognition Luncheon. Our new Greer Environmental Sciences Center played an instrumental role in Virginia Wesleyan's advancement to Model Level, and we were pleased to celebrate with our friends from the Hourigan Group, who constructed this magnificent new building. Pictured here with (from left) Phil Stedfast, President of the Elizabeth River Project Board of Directors, and from Hourigan, Sydney Covey, VWU Class of 2015 and Sustainability Program Analyst, Chris Brandt, Executive Vice President, and Clark Lambert, Senior Project Manager.
