Dr. Daniel Martin, MVNU President, delivered a special message for the evening, reviewing the institution's journey over the past five years. Recounting several of MVNU's goals and objectives since he took office, he reminded attendees that the University had already made significant progress. Specifically, Martin highlighted MVNU's new online learning initiatives, the development of a Common Core and the revision of the school's General Education curriculum, the continued development of facilities such as the Hunter Hall School of Nursing and Health Sciences building in downtown Mount Vernon, and near record enrollment in several categories.
Martin also presented two additional awards. Dr. Barney Cochran and Dr. Lincoln Stevens (pictured above, with Dr. Martin) were honored as Co-Faculty Members of the Year for their work on the major revision of the General Education core. Cochran is the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities; Stevens is the Chair of the Philosophy program.
