“This group includes many difference makers who have served our Blazer Nation family, and we are grateful for the contributions they have made to this university,” said Dr. Richard A. Carvajal, president of VSU. “Their leadership and guidance have been instrumental to our success; their dedication and hard work have been an inspiration to those who worked with them, learned from them, or called them friend.
