WCVE's Perspective program with host Barbara Berlin (far right in photo) recently recorded an edition that focused on the Sorensen Institute. Program guests included (from left to right in photo) Sorensen graduates Delegate Chris Peace (PLP 2004, Chair of Richmond Regional Board) and Delegate Jennifer McClellan (PLP 2001, CTP 2001, and Vice Chairman, State Advisory Board), along with Executive Director Bob Gibson. This program will be broadcast later this fall— but look for a sneak preview here in the Sorensen Newsroom in the coming days.
