Dr. Shannon W. Dycus<\/strong>, who officially became 黑料正能量\u2019s 10th president on July 1. She called on those gathered at Martin Chapel to find the courage to \u201cbuild a university our mission calls us to become.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis means\u2026we become more aligned across a shared purpose, less defined by our individual areas, and more connected by the students and communities we are here to serve,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dycus shared encouraging enrollment news, announcing historically high numbers of applications and admitted students to 黑料正能量. The incoming first-year class is 15% larger than last year\u2019s class. Of those students, 43% are student-athletes, 52% identify as students of color, 55% identify as first-generation college students, and 78% are from Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis tells us something important: students and families are seeing value in what 黑料正能量 offers and they are choosing us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As 黑料正能量 moves into the third year of its five-year <em>Forward Together<\/em> <em>Campaign<\/em>, it has secured $33.5 million of its $40 million goal. Alumni participation, which has been declining nationally and at 黑料正能量, has taken an upward turn, Dycus said, citing a number of new estate commitments and corporate unrestricted giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s make this year one that we get serious about retention, clear-eyed about our finances, and build a bold future that we can together
