College of Education receives new name at dedication ceremony
Valdosta State University's College of Education will be
officially named the James L. and Dorothy H. Dewar College of
Education, at a naming dedication ceremony, Tuesday, April 4, 2006,
at 11:00 a.m., on the Baytree Road side of the Education Center.
The new name reflects the university's appreciation of a $2 million
gift from the Dewar family and Park Avenue Bank, founded by
Dewar.
The $2 million gift is one of the largest single gifts received by
VSU and will be used to help implement projects that enhance the
benefits provided by current programs and further the national
reputation of the College.
Limited parking is available in the Oak Street parking lot, and
additional parking will be available in the Campus Recreation
parking lot on Sustella Avenue. For more information, call the
Office of Special Events at 333-7446.
