In Blacksburg and the years since, you shaped my spiritual growth, my journey toward self-acceptance, my professional trajectory (my conversations with you senior year literally led me into the career I now have!). I'll condense my many thoughts into an immensely grateful "thank you." Congrats on this incredible next step and I can't wait to continue following your professional journey. - Austin Tatum]]> 2022-05-05 04:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kkhokie1/4mjq7mtbivrd0b8q/wish/2170901927 https://padlet.com/kkhokie1/4mjq7mtbivrd0b8q/wish/2171298477 Frank, 

Wishing you and your family the absolute best as you travel down the road just a bit as the new President of Roanoke College! 
The mark of successful leadership is leaving a place better than when you left it - you did just that. Don't forget - once a Hokie, always a Hokie! Godspeed!

You have been a shining example of courage, passion, leadership, humility, mentorship and Ut Prosim. You know how much you mean to me and I’m so grateful you believed in me and nurtured me to grow to the leader I am today. I still remember the first time I really met you I was teaching you how to do the Dougie dance, and I would have never guessed that would have led to the beautiful relationship we have now. You changed my college experience and my life and I will forever be grateful to you for that. Your legacy will live on forever at Virginia Tech in the changes and impact you had in people and the culture. You’re going to be a great College President and Roanoke is lucky to have you! Love you Frank!!

There aren’t enough ways to say thank you, so I try my best to live out the lessons you have taught me and impact others the way you did for me. When I worked in orientation and res life, I always made it clear the importance of leaving Virginia Tech better than you found it. It’s hard to imagine many individuals that have done that as well as you have. I also know that what lies ahead will be even greater as you continue to impact the lives of young people. I’ll be rooting for you just as much as ever!

With hope -
