VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA
June 2019


On a beautiful spring day, Virginia Wesleyan University held its Commencement Ceremony outside on the University Commons as the Class of 2019--the first to include masters-level graduates--crossed the platform on the steps of the Greer Environmental Sciences Center. United States Congresswoman Elaine Luria addressed the class, sharing a memorable message with the graduates. The University bestowed on Congresswoman Luria the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, and VWU Board Chair David Kaufman received the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.
