Hall Of Fame
Joan P. Brock H'10
Benefactor
The strength of Virginia Wesleyan University today can be traced in significant ways to the leadership and support of Trustee Emerita Joan Brock and her late husband Macon. Many aspects of the University have benefited from their genuine interest in students, programs and facilities. Kenneth R. Perry Field at TowneBank Park is named for Joan's late father, who was a member of the VWU Board of Trustees from 1991-2004 and the first recipient of an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 2002. Improvements to Perry Field in 2016 honored the former board member's service and dedication to the University. Joan served on the President's Advisory Council from 1996-1999, the Board of Trustees from 1999-2006, and was Chair of the Board of Trustees from 2001-2004. She received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on behalf of the University in 2010. The strength of Virginia Wesleyan University today can be traced in significant ways to the leadership and support of Joan and Macon Brock. There is not a single area of campus - be it academics, student life, community service, the arts, or athletics - that the Brock family has not significantly improved in some way thanks to their leadership, generosity and vision.
