Alumni and friends of The University of Virginia’s College at Wise are invited to attend one of two forums regarding the search for a chancellor for the University of Virginia’s only branch college.

The forums, hosted by the Chancellor Search Committee, are set for May 14 and May 15 at 6 p.m. in the Chapel of All Faiths on campus.

William Wampler, Jr., a former state senator, urged nearly 300 graduates of The University of Virginia’s College at Wise to work hard and to be relevant to the success of the organization they work for so their skills will be recognized accordingly.

Wise resident Michael Dustin Bailey received his Bachelor of Science in Nursing on Saturday, May 19 at The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, but he left Commencement as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.

It was a poignant and historic moment that those attending will not soon forget. Bailey is the first to be commissioned as part of the College’s ROTC program.

The University of Virginia’s College at Wise has announced its spring 2012 Dean’s List.
