Congratulations to the Davis Center on their 5th anniversary as a community and cultural center in the heart of historic Whitesville. ESVCF is proud to have awarded a capital grant 5 years ago to help establish the community center and we wish Aya, Nzinga, Doreen and the entire team all the best as they continue to identify ways to serve the community in this vibrant space.

Congratulations to Dr. Daryl Minus on his official installation as the 6th President of Eastern Shore Community College ! 🎓

Yesterday's inauguration ceremony at The Palace Theater in Cape Charles was a celebration of what's possible when education and community come together. Dr. Minus spoke about creating ever more pathways for student success and building strong community partnerships, and that is a vision we share.

Dr. David Doré, Chancellor of the Virginia Community College System, presided over the installation. He noted that as a jazz musician, Dr. Minus knows how to work within a defined structure while always listening and responding to what the other musicians bring to the table. Dr. Minus has already shown that same gift with students, faculty, community partners and employers.

ESCC is a vital part of life on the Eastern Shore, opening doors for students, families and local employers. We're proud to stand with Dr. Minus and the entire ESCC family as they begin this new chapter.
