Welcoming Two New Arrivals in Traditional Admissions
The Averett Family has additions! The traditional admissions office would like to announce that Sara and Cliff Hodges welcomed home their twin boys, Nolan Douglas (6lbs 15oz, 18 inches) and Greyson Charles (6lbs 12oz 20 inches).
Everyone is happy and healthy, and we couldn’t be more excited for their family.
Farewell, Rodney!
Please join us Wednesday, June 14, at 4 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Student Center as we wish Rodney Countryman a farewell from his full-time role at Averett.
He will join St. Leo University as the assistant director of undergraduate admissions. We are grateful to Rodney for his time here at Averett. Countryman previously served as the director and assistant director for Residence Life and as campus guest coordinator in Undergraduate Admissions here at Averett.
His last full-time day is Friday, June 9; however, Courtyman will remain with Residence Life part-time during his transition (so we still have time to learn more Beyoncé trivia)!
RSVP Soon: University Summer Cookout
Please plan to join us on Thursday, June 15, for the annual University Summer Cookout. We will gather on the Student Center lawn for a time of fellowship and food. Lunch will be served by President’s Council from 11:45 a.m.- 1 p.m. Mark your calendar and join us for some good food and great company!
If you plan to join, please RSVP to Mary Sullivan at [email protected] by Friday, June 9.
