| Historic Garden Week in Virginia is a highlight for many on the spring calendar, and Lexington will show off its beauty this Saturday. Our alumni play multiple roles during the week — hosting at their B&B, providing flowers to the featured homes, or volunteering at the venues. What makes this year even more special is the inclusion of two properties connected to W&L: Stonegate Guesthouse and The Gardens at Belfield. |
| Spring is also the time for reunions. We are gearing up to host the 3's and 8's classes May 4-7 in Lexington. My team has planned an excellent weekend for you to see campus, connect with classmates, and enjoy all the Blue Ridge has to offer. If you make the trip, I hope you stay for the talk with former W&L President, Ken Ruscio '76 and his classmate, the Honorable Michael Luttig '76. |
