One thing my son and I both noticed during Trible's talk that he has taken traditions from both of his alma maters, Hampden-Sydney and W&L, and implemented them at CNU.
President Trible has definitely raised the profile of CNU during his tenure.

President Trible (aka PTrib to the students) has definitely raised the bar at CNU. He frequently walks around campus, talking to students and taking interest in their lives. Rosemary, his wife, has her own weekly bible study with students. At graduation she waits at the end of the stairs to personally hug every graduating student. They're wonderful.
I personally love that he's implemented traditions from his alma maters there. When I graduated, it was tradition to throw a penny you got at Freshman Convocation into a fountain as you walked to graduation. They have since gotten rid of the fountain and put a bell tower in its place, and now graduating seniors will ring the bell as they walk by. I'll be down this year for it, and I'm excited to watch it happen.
I have a lot of pride and love for CNU...and their crazy amazing beautiful new dorms they're building.
