Goochland eyes high school-to-Eli Lilly jobs pipeline

Goochland students could one day graduate from high school and head straight into jobs at Eli Lilly's new $5 billion pharmaceutical plant. Why it matters: As Virginia works to turn billions in pharmaceutical investments into jobs for residents, Goochland wants local students to have a shot at the 650 permanent positions Lilly plans to create. State of play: Goochland County Administrator Jeremy Raley told Axios in a sit-down interview Thursday that officials have discussed creating direct hiring pathways with Lilly and local K-12 partners. Lilly has expressed support for the idea, Raley said, though specific classes and hiring commitments remain unclear. A company spokesperson didn't immediately respond to Axios' request for confirmation, but Lilly has pledged to develop local career pathways with schools. Catch up quick: Lilly broke ground on the Goochland facility last month, where it plans to hire engineers, scientists, operations workers and lab technicians, per a release. It's also separately committed $40 million toward a workforce training initiative, including a Goochland training center planned for 2028 — ahead of the plant's operations beginning in 2030. The intrigue: Raley envisions introducing students to pharmaceutical and advanced manufacturing careers as early as kindergarten. Goochland already has an advanced manufacturing,

Sheridan fourth graders take in local history

Last week, Sheridan Elementary School fourth graders visited and toured the Boxley Cabin, Sheridan Library, and the Sheridan Historical Society Museum. All three locations offer so much history to the foundation of Sheridan and surrounding areas. Boxley Cabin was built in 1828 by Virginia-born abolitionist George Boxley, who fled Spotsylvania County, Va., after allegedly starting a slave rebellion in the winter of 1816. Boxley escaped jail using a spring saw smuggled by his wife, Hannah. He vanished, heading north. But his life as a fugitive meant that he was chased relentlessly by bounty hunters for 12 years.

Virginia State University hits record enrollment

From its start in 1883 with just 126 students, Virginia State University has seen its enrollment increase more than 50 times to a record-setting population 143 years later. Last week, VSU announced its highest-ever enrollment for the 2026-27 academic year, more than 6,350 students. That total eclipsed the previous record of 6,200 students in 2012. In addition, the Ettrick school recorded its best first-year enrollment ever with 1,725 freshman students on campus. In the announcement, the university said the enrollment figures are "more than a high-water mark" for VSU. It "signals a new chapter in VSU’s history, one defined by growth, opportunity, and an unwavering commitment to student success." VSU has seen its biggest growth spurt in enrollment over the past six years, from 4,020 in 2020 to more than 5,750 last fall and now the record number this year. “Virginia State University has never served more students or welcomed a larger entering freshman class than we have this year. That is a powerful statement about the confidence students and families are placing in this institution,” Alexis Brooks-Walter, vice president for student success and administration, said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Every one of these students arrived with a
