CNU Alumni Connections

eNEWS will not be published for the month of June. The next eNEWS email is planned for July.

As an alumni of Christopher Newport (class of 97), I would love to extend my sympathies to our Hokie Family and Friends.

My thoughts were a banner with a CNU logo or donations etc.

Any ideas?

Christopher Newport University will have a new provost beginning July 2007. Dr. Mark W. Padilla will be replacing Dr. Richard Summerville, who is retiring in June after a distinguished 27-year career at CNU. President Paul Trible made the announcement of the appointment: “After reviewing 110 national and international applicants, Dr. Padilla was clearly the right choice to lead the remarkable academic transformation taking place at CNU. He has an outstanding record of success at pre-eminent liberal arts and sciences institutions and is deeply committed to liberal learning, shared governance, and student success.” Read more about Dr. Padilla >>
