Forward Fall/Winter 2023
On the Cover: Davis & Elkins College President Chris A. Wood, Graduates Anna Ruf and Hussain Hamide. Both are recipients of the 2023 Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards. They come from different parts of the world, two vastly dissimilar cultures, and polar opposite paths to D&E. Yet, on our campus where personal growth is cultivated and positive individual characteristics are brought to light, these two award recipients could not be more alike.
