Rose Awards

Nominations are open for Rose Awards. The annual Rose Awards ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, April 30. The Rose Awards are a wonderful Viterbo tradition and a key component of building and sustaining a campus culture of recognition and gratitude. Please take a few minutes and nominate a deserving colleague.

Annual Trustee Opportunity Funds

Members of the board of trustees and trustee emeriti have again been most generous in contributing gifts to the Annual Trustee Opportunity Fund. Contributions total about $300,000. Portions of these funds are designated for certain priorities, others are unrestricted and are to be determined by the president in concert with the institutional priorities in the strategic plan. A description of these funds and the application process for these grants can be found on the website.

Spring Break Travelers

Please hold in prayer all those traveling over spring break, especially those on university-sponsored trips. We have groups traveling to China, Greece, and Italy, and to Arizona, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, and South Dakota. Special thanks to faculty, administrators, and staff who assisted in preparing for and sponsoring these important experiences for our students.
