New Emails from VT

I just received this email from James Penven, Associate Director of Residence Life...

Emily,

Shawn Shumaker just sent the Residence Life staff an email sharing the blog address that you set up related to the support of our residence life department.

I wanted to send a brief note of thanks to you and all of the folks who came together to support our staff, students, and university in the wake of April 16. We are so appreciative of everything you did. It meant so much to our department to know that our colleagues across the nation had us in their hearts and prayers.
Thank you,
Jamie

...as well as another note from Shawn Shumaker...

Emily,

I forwarded the message you sent to me with the link for the blogspot to all our staff and also to Gail. Again, words cannot tell you how much we appreciate all that you guys have done. It helps just knowing that there are people out there that are thinking of us. Please continue to remember us as we enter the next phase – recovery- with the new student body arriving in just a few weeks, not to mention several new staff members. We have a new director here in Residence Life, Dr. Leon McClinton who comes to us from Clemson. He officially begins tomorrow, but was here for a few days last week. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from him in the near future. Thank you, and God Bless.

Shawn
