Wonderful to host Chesapeake Bay Foundation President William Baker (second from left) and Board Chair Harry Lester (third from left) on campus recently for a tour of our magnificent new Greer Environmental Sciences Center. The new center has generated much interest and created a national niche program for Virginia Wesleyan, expanding our teaching, research, and service toward the vital goals of studying and preserving the natural environment.
