2024 SWVHEC Annual Report

Where is the LOVE? On October 26, 2023, the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center cut the ribbon on a permanent life-sized LOVEwork at the facility. The First Lady of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Suzanne S. Youngkin, was in attendance to help cut the ribbon. The artwork, which is 16 feet long and six feet high, is an extension of the 50-year-old “Virginia is for Lovers” brand. The Center has also implemented a new engagement initiative -- “Where is the LOVE?”-- in which friends of the Center can wear a t-shirt inspired by the LOVE sign as they travel and snap a photo to share on the Center’s social media accounts. This initiative is a fun way to share unique experiences with friends here at the Center and to discover the many different places where we can share the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center LOVE.

The grounds around the facility are always in great condition but each year a staff Spring Clean Up Day is organized to help with small tasks such as planting flowers, painting curbs, cleaning the patio and filling rock beds. This enjoyable team building activity is a great way for staff to get outside and lend a helping hand to keep everything looking fresh. Staff at Work
