 Steven Bond ’14, a junior with a double major in political science and mathematics, balances a busy academic schedule and still finds time to serve as a Batten Center supervisor, a Wesleyan Ambassador, a math tutor and a Resident Assistant. After working as an intern at the law office of Kaufman & Canoles, Bond aspires to attend law school after graduation with the goal of becoming a tax attorney.
Although his grades and admirable work ethic made him stand out to many other private institutions, Bond chose Virginia Wesleyan thanks in large part to scholarships supported by the Annual Fund for Academic Excellence.
Gifts to the Annual Fund help maintain these scholarships, as well as an array of study abroad programs, internships, undergraduate research and community service projects, all of which equip students for success in a rapidly changing world.
Make a secure online gift to the Annual Fund today or view our 2012-13 Annual Fund Honor Roll of Donors.

Peter Warren '05
 It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 10 years since Peter Warren ’05 was shooting hoops at VWC, with President Billy Greer getting the crowd riled up on the sidelines. During his time at the College, Warren studied in the Liberal Arts Management Program (LAMP), played men’s basketball and also found time for golf. Upon graduating, he returned to his hometown of Winchester, VA and began working as a Regional Bank Private Banker at Wells Fargo (he holds licenses in VA Life Insurance & Annuities; Series 6, 63, 65, & 7). Warren continues to play golf and also runs, hikes and works out. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Ashley, and their two dogs, a Labrador Retriever named Mazie and Lola, a Chihuahua.
How did your time at Virginia Wesleyan College shape the person you are today? By the time I graduated, I had evolved from a shy 18-year-old into an outgoing person. I attribute this solely to the fact that I chose a school where, going in at enrollment, I had no established relationships. I was able to take advantage of my involvement with the athletic programs and the small classroom settings to build many great friendships.
What are some of your favorite memories of professors, mentors or friends at VWC? I am a big fan of President Greer and I always enjoyed him getting the crowd going at the men’s basketball games. One of the best spots in the area is definitely Chick’s Beach. I loved going there to hang out with friends. I also enjoyed catching a Norfolk Tides baseball game on the weekends and grabbing some local food in downtown Norfolk. Read more

Congratulations to Mair Downing (1993) on the October 2012 publication of her children's book "Presto!" The picture book (ages 0-6) tells the story of Prissy, a princess who is getting ready to dance in her first ballet recital. But oh no! She doesn't know how to twirl! With two pre-school daughters, Mair always finds a need for stories involving princesses, tutus, and wacky adventures. To learn more, visit www.mairdowning.com.
