Legend Becomes Reality

VWU opened Coastal Market, an on-campus convenience store, in the Jane P. Batten Student Center on January 31.

“Over the years, we’ve had student interest. We’ve had students do research projects. As recent as last year, we had a few students who looked into how realistic having this on campus would be. It does my heart good to know that we now have a convenience store that is enhancing the student experience and serving our campus population.” - Jason Seward '05, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs

Congratulations to our Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees
