SANDRIDGE HALL AT THE JOHN PAUL
JONES ARENA AND LEONARD W.
SANDRIDGE ROAD
WHEREAS, Leonard W. Sandridge, First Citizen of Crozet, began his long and illustrious career at the University of Virginia in 1967 as an Internal Auditor; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sandridge advanced through the ranks, always holding positions of responsibility, to his present job as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the University, a title that describes only in small part his duties and can only hint at what he does for the University, day in and day out; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sandridge has served four Presidents of the University, under two of them as a Vice President, and has been relied upon by all four of them for his probity, good sense, sound vision, and competence; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sandridge is known and respected throughout the University for his hard work, his fair mindedness and his devotion above all to the good of the institution; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Sandridge is known, too, for his modesty and his reluctance to claim credit for the things he does; and
WHEREAS, admirers of Mr. Sandridge have banded together to make possible a naming in his honor, suggesting a portion of the John Paul Jones Arena;
RESOLVED, the Board of Visitors names the entrance to the John Paul Jones Arena, Leonard W. Sandridge Hall; further, the Board names the access road from the By-Pass to Massie Road, Leonard W. Sandridge Road; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, in so doing, the Board salutes the First Citizen of Crozet and joins the entire community in thanking him for all he has done, and continues to do, for the University of Virginia.
