Regarding her retirement, Dr. Miriam Espinosa said, “I will miss most the daily interaction with faculty and students. I will also miss being able to share everything that I read with students.”
“What I’ll miss most about Wesleyan is my students,“ said Dr. Jesse Sowell, professor of religion. From left to right, Hidi Soheurmann, junior education major, Dr. Sowell, and Deanna Smith, senior education major.
“I'll miss the smallness and familiarity with everyone. Wesleyan has become sort of like the small hometown where I grew up you know everyone. Also, I will miss the students I have taught. I have really come to appreciate the character of the communities that they come from. They have taught me so much about life and about our society,” said Dr. Sara Horsfall, professor of sociology.

THE GRADUAL Graduating students reflect on
Jazmyn Gindratt Dr. [Marilyn] Pugh [influenced me the most]because she helped me realize my goals and helped drive me to do more. She also showed me that I could go beyond my own abilities and do more.
Andre’a Davis The person who influenced me the most was Shannon Jordan because she was always willing to help me in and out of the classroom. She’s an amazing person, and I appreciate everything she has done and is doing for me currently.
Cassandra Holland That would be Dr. [Michelle] Payne. Again, she has completed the task that I am striving towards. She has also reached out and encouraged me during those times when things got a little rough.
May 2013
Kenneth Clontz The person who has influenced me the most was my wife Carolyn Clontz. With all her high spiritedness and encouragement, she made me realize that even though I am a nontraditional student, I could still learn and rise to the challenge.

Texas Wesleyan improves Polytechnic community Candace Johnson
cbjohnson@txwes.edu
May 2013
Despite how it may look today, the Polytechnic Heights area was once an affluent neighborhood. Kenneth Dunson, former employee of Wesleyan, said he grew up in the Polytechnic area in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He remembers Poly being a safe area and nice place to live in. Dunson said Wesleyan has always had an important part in the Polytechnic community. “Texas Wesleyan, although it has changed in appearance over the years, always played a vital role in the neighborhood,” Dunson said. Dr. Sara Horsfall, associate professor of sociology, has a book of collected articles she edited with her students. The book, A Neighborhood Portrait: Polytechnic Heights of Inner City Fort Worth is located in the West Library. In her article, she describes the area as being a “respectable and prosperous middle class neighborhood” for most of the 20th century. It wasn’t until the 1980s that it became “an area of high crime, high poverty, racial tensions

and general decay and decline.” Horsfall said one of the students who helped with the book did a study on city services to improve the streets of Polytechnic. She found there was only one street in the neighborhood that did not need repair. The city is currently conducting improvements to Rosedale Street and Texas Wesleyan University. President Frederick Slabach has confirmed that construction for the area in front of Wesleyan started in spring. Horsfall said she believes the Polytechnic area has lots of potential
and any new projects built in the area should reflect its original landscape. “The character of the neighborhood should be in anything they build,” Horsfall said. “Polytechnic still has its community and has promise.” Jim Walker, Fort Worth’s assistant director of transportation and public works, said the changes will include a number of associated infrastructures in addition to a rebuild of East Rosedale. Improvements to the campus will complement the changes happening in the Polytechnic area. The Office of the President has a
section on Wesleyan’s website that has information outlined in the 2020 Strategic Plan that lists one of its goals as “campus enhancement.” It states that campus enhancement means, “To achieve a secure and attractive physical environment that supports high-quality academic endeavors and vibrant student life.” To make this happen, Wesleyan will undergo a $1.3 million project to create a new entryway into the university at East Rosedale Street and Vaughn Boulevard. The new entry-way will include a clock tower, horseshoe-shaped driveway, expanded parking, stone monument signs, landscaped medians and additional lighting. Wesleyan will also gain a 15,000-square-foot building at the 3200 block of East Rosedale that will house the Central Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. A $400,000 renovation of a not yet revealed historic building located on the south side of Rosedale will contain the new Business Incubator Center. Enhancement completion is set for the end of 2014.

Winkenweder battles college schedule after war service Ryan Grounds

If families are the most important thing in life, then what happens when a new father juggles a wife, a child, a full-time job and school at the same time? Adam Winkenweder might have the answer. He is currently a senior at Texas Wesleyan and is taking 18 hours in business management. He is married, has a small daughter and a full-time job. But the one thing that makes Winkenweder unique is that he is also a veteran of the United States Armed Forces. “I enjoyed what I did and had a fun time doing it, but to me family comes first,” Winkenweder said. “That is why I got out.” Winkenweder said he started taking classes at Wesleyan in 2010. Winkenweder said he averaged between 12 and 15 hours during the regular semester and worked 40 plus hours per week. Winkenweder’s best friend Jeremiah Johnson, a Wesleyan student, agrees. “Going back to school after

the Army feels like the cover for the movie Billy Madison, in which Adam Sandler is sitting in a kindergarten class,” Johnson said. “Having a family while going back to school is incredibly difficult.” Winkenweder said juggling school and family can be difficult. Winkenweder said having three major obligations at the same time, means some things must suffer sometimes. “It is hard to tell your 2-year-old that I am studying
and she can’t play with Daddy,” Winkenweder said. Adam Winkenweder’s wife is Bethany Winkenweder. She is a graduate admissions counselor at Wesleyan. “Prior to starting school he worked at the pickle factory making $8.50 per hour,” Bethany said. Bethany encouraged her husband to take advantage of the living stipend that comes from using the post 9-11 GI Bill.
“He took advantage of it, and now look at him– he is about to graduate,” Bethany said. She said that Adam’s school and work has been a challenge for the family. “He’s busy at school all the time, and so I’m left to juggling work and the baby and make sure that everything is lined up,” Bethany said. “Sometimes he doesn’t have a chance to see his daughter, but that it will all be worth it in the end.” Adam served four and a half years in the US Army. He was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1-15th BSB. He was deployed to Camp Taji, Iraq two separate times. “During my second deployment I was assigned to my company commander’s security detail,” Adam said. “In my spare time though, I was helping other soldiers get their education.” So how does Adam Winkenweder juggle a full time job, a wife, a kid, and 18 hours of school? “With a lot of coffee,” Bethany said.

Stewart plans to continue education after Wesleyan Emma Fradette

Standing on a stage with all eyes on you may seem stressful to many students. For music performance majors at Texas Wesleyan, a senior recital is a necessity to graduate and it is an option for music education majors. Leslie Elston, former Wesleyan student, has been a music performance major since 2006. He also was a singer in the music program. Elston had to perform in his own senior recital. “A performance major has to have around 12 to 18 songs to sing at the recital,” Elston said. “In my senior recital I had 16 to 18 songs to sing.” Elston said he performed all songs by himself in front of everyone with the exception of one song. “The senior recital is supposed to be your last final, fun performance,” Elston said. “Students get really creative and it is fun to watch.” Elston said he plans on coming back to Wesleyan to finish his degree. “Once I graduate from Wesleyan, I want to sing on Broadway in New York,” Elston said. Selena Stewart, senior music education major, has been at Wesleyan for four years.

Meisa Keivani/Rambler Staff Selena Stewart, senior education major, performed a variety of songs in different languages at the senior recital Nov. 6
“Once I knew I wanted to major in music, there were only two schools that were close that had music majors,” Stewart said. “Wesleyan gave me the better offer. If I could go back and do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing because I do better in a smaller setting.” Stewart said because she isn’t a performance major, she didn’t have to perform in the senior recital but she chose to.
“I ended up adding a few more songs to my recital,” Stewart said. Stewart said for her senior recital she sang two German songs, two French songs, an English piece and three Spanish songs. Stewart sang her recital Nov. 6 and is now looking forward to her future. “I would like to teach for a year or two to get the experience, but I want to go back and get my master’s
to be a speech pathologist,” Stewart said. “I want to work with kids who have vocal disorders or speech impediments.” Kylie Wrinkle, senior music education major, has been at Wesleyan since 2010. “I chose Wesleyan because I really liked the music education department, and the rest of the campus,” Wrinkle said. “Everyone made me feel very welcomed, and I liked the idea of having small classes because I was a transfer student from a junior college.” Wrinkle said she chose to do the senior recital as well. “I chose to do one because I think it helps you as a musician,” Wrinkle said. “You perform about an hour of music.” Wrinkle said the music department has helped her out a lot with future plans. “The faculty and staff are so great at preparing us for our future careers as music educators and performers,” Wrinkle said. Wrinkle said she plans to become an elementary music teacher after graduating from Wesleyan. “I also want to teach private lessons,” Wrinkle said. “I love music and Wesleyan’s music department has only strengthened my love.”

Courtesy Photo Willie, the Wesleyan mascot, performs at a basketball game during the 2012-2013 season.
This last year in sports at Texas Wesleyan has been exciting and dramatic. The teams that played during the fall semester left everything on the field and have no regrets. The men’s and women’s cross country teams both came in 1st place at the University of Dallas Invitational and the NAIA Conference Championship. The men’s soccer team finished with an overall record of 9-7-3. They finished the conference season with 8-2-1 loss. The women’s soccer team finished it’s overall season 12-6-2 loses and finished the conference 7-2-1. Lastly the volleyball team did well this last season. They brought home 19-15 for the overall season and ended of 6-4 for the conference. The spring sports have yielded the most impressive results. The tabletennis team finished in 1st place in the Coed team National Championship for the 10th consecutive year. The softball team is doing well as they are currently 19-15 on the overall season and 15-9 for the conference. The baseball team is also playing
with intensity and determination. The Rams baseball team finished the regular season 39-14 and 20-6 for the conference. The men’s basketball team did not perform as well as expected. The Rams brought home a record of 2012 in the overall season and 12-10 for the conference games. The Lady Rams basketball team picked up the slack though a record of 21-10 for the overall season and 15-7 for the conference. The men’s golf team did very well this season. The team came in 1st place in five out of nine tournaments for the season. The women’s golf team gave it their all, but fell short of victory this year. Lastly, the track and field teams participated in the RRAC championships and the women finished in 2nd place and the men finished in 4th. The 2012-2013 athletic season each team left with many accomplishments and successful records. With the new 2013-2014 season approaching, Wesleyan will leave the Red River Athletic Conference and join the Sooner Athletic Conference. It will be interesting to see what the SAC has in store for the Wesleyan Athletic program.
