When Virginia's new Democratic leaders took control of the governor's office and attorney general position last week, they wasted no time overhauling higher ed. Abigail Spanberger, the new governor, immediately appointed more than two dozen members to the governing boards of the Virginia Military Institute, George Mason University and the University of Virginia, meaning she's already appointed the majority of members on the George Mason and UVA boards.

University of Virginia board members blasted state lawmakers as "extremist" and faculty members as "out of control" in a batch of text messages published by the Washington Post.

Digital marketing firm Elasticity, based in St. Louis, Missouri, promoted Collin Schuck to director of social media and public relations.

Lawrence Group hired Nick Naeger as associate principal/senior project manager, and Colleen O'Brien as senior project accountant.
