Casteen will give final address

University President John T. Casteen, III will give his final State of the University address Feb. 9 at noon in the Old Cabell Hall auditorium, University spokesperson Carol Wood said.

Casteen will use his address to highlight and remember the many changes that the University has gone through during his 20-year long tenure as president.

"The University has been his primary academic home since coming to Charlottesville as an undergraduate in the early 1960s," Wood said. "He brings great experience, a remarkable body of knowledge and a deep personal perspective to University life and times."
