Editorial Reflections on Success of Sweet Briar

I've been traveling for a few weeks and am a bit late in posting a link to another wonderful editorial, "More accolades for Sweet Briar," on September 20, 2018 by The Roanoke Times.  The author used the recent release of U.S. News college rankings as an opportunity to reflect on events of recent years as Sweet Briar alumni stepped up to take a more active role in support of the institution.

Newspapers can provide an important service with insightful reporting and editorials on local colleges that go beyond reprinting of institutional press releases.  

You can also read a post on the College History Garden blog from March 8, 2015, "Lessons from Sweet Briar...a reminder of how we benefit from a good editorial page," that highlights both The Roanoke Times and The News & Advance from Lynchburg, VA.
