Early each year, Virginia legislators convene in Richmond to make decisions on behalf of their constituents. Helping to give a face to the many people being represented, five Virginia Western students met with members of the General Assembly on Monday, Jan. 27, at the Virginia State Capitol.
Those students spoke to their experiences in an array of programs: Joshua Hawks from Engineering; Yassine Abdelkader from Business Administration; Chanell Johnson from Liberal Arts, Fine Arts; and Grace Dillon and Ulekesis Williams from Practical Nursing. They were accompanied by Vice President of Student Affairs Bernadette “Bern” Battle and Student Activities Coordinator Natasha Lee.
