Honoring the Past, Building the Future: The HIVE at Shenandoah University

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Patricia Young, Executive Director of the HIVE, located in the beautifully restored  Armory Building and part of Shenandoah University.Patricia shares the incredible story behind this historic building—once an old Armory, now thoughtfully renovated into a one-of-a-kind space for learning, innovation, and connection. Today, the HIVE serves as a hub for innovators, veterans, and entrepreneurs, bringing new energy and opportunity to our community.We also talk about how this space is already making an impact. In fact, TEDx Handley Blvd Women was one of the very first community events hosted there, something especially meaningful to me and such a powerful example of what this space was designed to do.What really stands out is Patricia’s passion. She is deeply committed to connecting people, bridging Shenandoah University with the broader community and creating opportunities for collaboration, growth, and innovation.This conversation is all about vision, transformation, and the power of bringing people together in meaningful ways.
