2011 Distinguished Alumni Award

Virginia Western Community College proudly announces that Carolyn Webster, senior vice president of nursing and chief nursing officer of Carilion Clinic, is the 2011 Outstanding Alumni Award recipient. Webster was recognized by Virginia Western at the recent Educational Foundation Annual Awards Ceremony.

Webster graduated from Virginia Western in 1981 with an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing, and has remained a supporter of the college throughout her career. She served on the Educational Foundation Board of Directors from 2002-2007 and again from 2010-present. She is currently a member of the Scholarship and Grants Committee.

She first joined Carilion in 1971, as a staff nurse, and has been an integral member of the hospital staff for over 36 years.
