HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM WESLEYAN COLLEGE! Among the many reasons for excitement on our campus these days is the completion of the first phase of our planned renovation of the Willet Memorial Library. Students, faculty, and staff are thrilled to see this project take shape, and we are so very grateful to all the classes, individual alumnae, and friends of the College who have helped us create this cool, eye-catching, and efficient “new” space. You’ll get a sneak peak of the first floor in this issue (pp. 26-27), but you’ll want to visit the campus soon and see the results for yourself. The transformation is amazing.

Indeed, this issue is packed with stories describing exciting developments at Wesleyan – both inside and outside the classroom. Among them are fascinating ideas like our “flipped classrooms” in biology (pp. 18-19) and the Reacting to the Past history class that has students assuming roles and making decisions during the French Revolution (pp. 2021). Outside the regular classroom, our students are grappling with world issues by participating in the Model UN (p. 16).

Our growing group of math enthusiasts are inspiring middle and high school girls to learn coding skills as part of the Wesleyan College chapter of Girls Who Code (p. 17). And I think you’ll be charmed by the article describing the capstone course enjoyed by our dual degree students just before they returned home to China last summer (pp. 28-29).

You’ll want to learn as well about “From Here to Career,” Wesleyan’s effort to link our students’ liberal arts experience with their post-graduate plans. In the works now for several years, From Here

to Career has begun in earnest with the current group of first-year Green Knights. Led by our new and expanded Office of Career Development, this program holds lots promise for all of our students – and is yet another reason for excitement.

Not surprisingly, careers, new programs, and cool facilities are extremely important to prospective students. This issue begins with some background about Generation Z and includes lots of information describing not only how our enrollment team is marketing Wesleyan to this new generation but also how you – our most important ambassadors – can help attract future Wesleyannes to our alma mater. Thank you for continuing to spread the good news about the exciting experience that young women will find at Wesleyan College today!

You also can review our annual report within these covers, as we thank publicly our loyal donors, both alumnae and friends, who contributed to Wesleyan in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2016.

Your generous contributions make that exciting Wesleyan experience possible, and we are grateful for each one of you!

Finally, I invite all alumnae to be on campus April 21-23 for what we hope will be a memorable Alumnae Weekend.

Even if this is not your regular reunion year, plan to join us if you can.

Hail Wesleyan!

GEN 2

Y E H T E R A O H W O D T A & WH ANT? THEY W Members of Generation Z (born after 1995) are the offspring of Generation X (born between 1965 and 1981) or Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964). The oldest members of Generation Z have headed off to college and are generally considered to be smarter than any generation before them. According to Forbes, Generation Z makes up 25% of the United States population, making it a larger group than the Baby Boomers or Millennials.

Predictions indicate that by 2020 Gen Z will account for 40% of all consumers.

Growing up in a recession has given the group a feeling of unsettlement and insecurity. According to Business Insider, 73% of Americans were personally affected by the recession of 2008.

As a result of watching their parents struggle in the workforce, Generation Z is more financially conservative, more moneyoriented, more entrepreneurial, and more pragmatic about money than their predecessors.

According to a recent study by Barnes & Noble College, 89% of Gen Z thinks a higher education degree is extremely valuable.

The study states that, unlike Millenials who pursue personal fulfillment more widely than financial goals, Gen Z views college as a pathway to securing employment. Their number one concern (related to college) is whether they will be able to find a good job after graduation.

It is estimated that today’s high school students will have 17 employers across 5 separate careers, sometimes working in jobs that don’t yet exist.

65%

OF GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL WORK IN JOBS THAT DON’T EXIST TODAY.

Why did you want to go to college?

I know that education is the only way to break my family’s chain.

I want to do better not only for myself but also for my future children. I don’t want to live paycheck to paycheck or worry every day about where the money will come from.

Members of Generation Z have grown up in a fastmoving world of technology where the answer to every question is right at their fingertips. They are committed and focused and they plan ahead. Their options are limitless, but their time is not.

They are the ultimate multitaskers, able to sort through and assess enormous amounts

of information very quickly.

It’s the way they live and we shouldn’t expect them to learn differently. Empowered by the Internet, they are comfortable researching, discovering, self-educating, and making decisions based on the information they find.

PROFESSOR

OBSERVATIONS: MATT MARTIN, dean of faculty and professor of English When I think about how students have changed in the past five years, the first thing that comes to mind is uncertainty. The future seems so unclear now, and that obviously has an impact on our students. They have questions about the value of a college education. They come to college thinking about getting a good job and their economic futures.

CHENNY GAN ’02, assistant professor of music Students today seem very motivated by things that interest them.

Using today’s technology, they are able to research and find an amazing amount of information about any given topic. Assignments and resources are becoming more and more online-based, so I am using more multi-media in my teaching, trying to appeal to all their senses. Also, I’ve tried to design more activities in the classroom that promote peer-to-peer learning.

T O N E R A U O Y IF

T H E M , YO U A R E Wesleyan’s Office of Enrollment Services is regrouping, researching, and rethinking methods used to reach prospective students and the messages we send them. The days of sending one message to every prospect are gone.

The key is to send the right message to the right person at the right time, and the message must be pertinent to the student’s interest. The average student researches seven colleges before making a final decision, and students are researching earlier than ever before. 80% apply to college online. We have redirected our marketing efforts to focus mostly on high school juniors and have added sophomores into the mix. Many seniors have already made their college decision; however, we will continue to target those who have not.

Between May and August this year, the

Office of Enrollment Services added 78 students for fall semester 2016.

“We are focusing on high yields from small numbers. This starts with searching for the most qualified students, instead of large numbers of students who don’t meet our qualifications, and continues with targeted messaging specific to each student’s needs and interests. We are pleased with the quality of applicants for fall 2017, and we are excited to have several deposits. An early Scholarship Day in November was instrumental in attracting high achieving students, and we look forward to the same results at our second Scholarship Day in February.”

– Danielle Lodge, executive director of enrollment.

PARENTS ARE THE #1 INFLUENCE IN A STUDENT’S COLLEGE DECISION PROCESS.

Because parents play an important role in a student’s decision to apply and to enroll at a school, Wesleyan’s Office of Enrollment Services is becoming more intentional in the way we market to parents.

GIRL POWER!

During the mid-19th and early-20th centuries, about 230 women’s colleges were founded in America. Today there are only 41. According to an article by Lisa Birnbach in the April 2016 issue of Vanity Fair, however, women’s schools are seeing a resurgence. Debora Spar, president of Barnard College, says, “We’re living in a girls’ moment... This generation of girls realizes they can get stuff their moms couldn’t.” Kim Cassidy, president of Bryn Mawr College, asserts, “We are experiencing another powerful moment for women’s colleges. More and more women are interested in them.” The Women’s College Coalition agrees, reporting that admission numbers are up at almost every women’s college, with some at historic highs.

“I AM VERY INTERESTED IN ATTENDING WESLEYAN COLLEGE . I BECAUSE WANT A COLLEGE WITH A GREAT ENVIRONMENT…A VERY POSITIVE AND UPBEAT VIBE. WESLEYAN IS AN ALL-WOMEN’S COLLEGE AND ALL THE GIRLS THERE LIFT EACH OTHER UP… AND EVERYONE CALLS EACH OTHER ‘SISTER.’”

I BELIEVE IN GIRL POWER

Excerpt from a Lafayette, Georgia, applicant

TALES FROM THE ROAD: Admission Counselors’ musings by Lisa Sloben, At college fairs and high school visits from Maryland to the southern points of Florida to Texas and throughout Georgia, admission counselors are delighted to be hearing “Girl Power.” Not so long ago when we spoke to high school girls, they would often respond, “All girls? No thanks!” Or their BFF would say, “It’s a girls

school—you can’t do that!” But things are changing, and we’re seeing a mindfulness about choosing a women’s college and a resurgence of interest. It’s good to hear Girl Power from this next generation of college-bound young women.

Q&A WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO EARN A COLLEGE DEGREE?

I think the purpose for a degree is career-based. You need an education to get any sort of decent job in most fields.

Ashley Bush ’19, Majors: applied mathematical science and women’s studies

IS GETTING A GOOD EDUCATION OR GETTING A GOOD JOB AFTER GRADUATION MORE IMPORTANT? Getting a good job.

Ashley Bush

ARE YOU CONCERNED YOU WON’T FIND A GOOD-PAYING JOB AFTER GRADUATION? This is a very serious concern.

I am hoping that, since I am already working with Career Services, I will be well prepared.

Jema Bravo ’17, Majors: business administration and Spanish

HOW IMPORTANT WILL YOUR INCOME BE WHEN YOU ENTER THE WORKFORCE?

I will be satisfied with an income that gives me a decent life, which means not only basic needs but also leeway to travel or go to a show without too much financial worry.

A CAREER-READY

community Poised for lifelong career success From Here to Career (FHTC) is a four-year program designed to help Wesleyan students create connections between what they are doing inside and outside the classroom and then to articulate their story to employers and graduate schools. Our students will understand how education in the liberal arts makes them uniquely positioned for professional success. FHTC teaches students how to navigate their own career development journey - from refining interests and goals to preparing a resumé to succeeding in a job or graduate school interview. These are building blocks that will be beneficial for a lifetime.

Each Wesleyan student will participate in a professional development experience giving real world context to her curricular experience.

This professional development could be one of several types of experiences––such as an internship, student research, or a fine art exhibit or performance. These experiences along with an e-portfolio are primary components of From Here to Career and are graduation requirements beginning with the Green Knights of 2020. Students will be expected to complete key career development interactions including career and major exploration, a resumé review, strategic career planning, and a mock interview. The Center for Career Development also offers a host of distinctive programming through convocations, workshops, and roundtables. This academic year’s programming includes topics such as professional dining etiquette, salary negotiation and the gender wage gap, and graduate school readiness.

Thanks to Sarah Schanck, director of career development, and Chelsea Flieger, assistant director of career development, for contributing to this story.

AS A RESULT OF FROM HERE TO CAREER Every student will be able to articulate: • How her knowledge, skills, and interests prepare her for her next professional step • How her liberal arts education has given her tools both inside and outside the classroom • Her unique transferable skills from her holistic Wesleyan experience

Every student will understand:

• Career development is a lifelong process • How to think developmentally through self assessment and reflection • How to take ownership over her own process

Every student will:

• Receive individual support and assistance from a professional staff member, faculty, and peers • Network with employers and graduate programs • Showcase skills via an e-portfolio • Complete a professional development experience

Today’s employers are seeking traditionally labeled “soft skills” in their hires’ resumes.

These include the hallmarks of a liberal arts education:

LEADERSHIP, TEAMWORK, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, AND PROBLEM SOLVING.

DIVERSITY AMONG OUR STUDENTS

O

ONE OF WESLEYAN’S GREATEST Once the exclusive province of traditional-aged white women from the Southeast, Wesleyan College now ranks among the most diverse colleges in the United States (number 60 in the nation according to a recent study) with students from all over the United States and from around the world. Today’s student population represents a mix of cultures, ethnicities, religions, identities, socioeconomic backgrounds, ages, and life experiences. Indeed, in many ways, Wesleyan “looks like the world,” according to President Ruth Knox ’75, who sees Wesleyan’s incredible diversity as “one of our greatest strengths.”

As in the larger world, diversity brings both challenges and opportunities, according to Tonya Parker ’01, who joined Wesleyan last year as assistant dean of students for diversity and inclusion. In a community with so much diversity, she says, “some people are bound to experience disagreements, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, miscommunication, and feelings of separation.” Tonya’s job is to facilitate communication and understanding among students whose culture, language, and backgrounds may be very different.

President Knox also stresses the value of inclusion. “Making everyone feel included isn’t just a wish, it’s a necessity and the heart of who we are. We need to be a model for the world of how all kinds of people can learn from and with one another.”

All sorts of efforts are underway on campus to realize that aspiration of becoming a model community. Last year Parker instituted “Thoughtful Tuesdays” and “Thoughtful Thursdays,” days when she shared messages with the community as a way to prompt students, faculty, and staff to reflect on their relationships with others. The messages included quotations from people such as Maya Angelou (“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you made them feel”), Mother Theresa (“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we

14

belong to each other”), and others.

The messages were followed by a campus-wide convocation, “Diversity Dialogues,” led by Parker and a panel of students who shared their reflections on some of these quotations. A second convocation this fall featured another student panel and remarks from Wesleyan alumna, trustee, artist, and founder

of the Pan African Festival of Georgia, Chi Ezenwugo Ezekwueche ’96.

Parker also teaches a WISe Lab (part of the first year experience) entitled “Appreciating Differences,” which promotes interaction among diverse groups by exploring the benefits and obstacles of diversity, recollecting the students’ involvement in diverse

“Making

included isn’t just a wish, it’s a NECESSITY and the heart of who we are.

We need to be a model for the world of how all kinds of people can learn from & with one another.”

-Ruth Knox environments from childhood to the present, and reflecting on how our past experiences affect our present thoughts, beliefs, and actions.

Parker and Dr. Melanie Dougherty, associate professor of English, are working together on an Interactivity Foundation (IF) pilot diversity program using IF facilitation tactics as a model

for campus community building. Six students were chosen to participate in a “Learn, Then Teach” workshop in September; they are now leading four IF-based discussions with small groups of other Wesleyan students.

Two student facilitators are paired to guide discussions on diversity topics that matter most to the students as determined by a poll.

Campus ministry assistants (CMAs) work in each of the residence halls to facilitate hospitality and communication among students.

In their weekly gatherings with students, CMAs offer techniques for managing stress and create a safe environment for spiritual formation and interreligious dialogue.

As delegates competing

AT THE SOUTHERN REGIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE, WESLEYAN WOMEN HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TOP PERFORMERS AMONG HUNDREDS OF OTHER STUDENTS. Model United Nations provides Wesleyan students a unique opportunity to enhance their research, writing, and public speaking skills while also broadening their knowledge of international politics.

Approximately 700 collegiate delegates gather at Southern Regional Model United Nations Conference (SRMUN) twice each year for a simulated meeting of the United Nations. Participating schools represent countries on UN committees with a goal of passing resolutions for their benefit. To accomplish this task, delegates must be knowledgeable about the position of their countries in order to gather support for their resolutions. Participants are judged for their efforts at the conference in addition to their position papers that are graded by volunteer staff prior to the competition weekend.

Wesleyan earned an honorable mention in 2014 and an honorable delegation award in 2015. Representing Greece and France at SRMUN Charlotte in April 2016, Wesleyan students earned Honorable Delegation, Distinguished Delegation, and Outstanding Position Paper Awards. In addition to this overall recognition, Wesleyan women also earned two of the three Outstanding Delegation awards given by the General Assembly Committee.

In November, Sarah Berks ‘17 represented Wesleyan at SRMUN Atlanta. “Being involved with Model UN has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, no exaggeration. As it was my first time being part of Model UN, I was nervous about being alone on a committee and having to represent Tunisia and, more importantly, Wesleyan. But as an international relations major, I needed to see if diplomacy in this format was something in which I was truly interested. Not only did it show me how much I love the format of the United Nations, but it reinforced my passion for sustainability and environmental policy.

Looking back on the experience, I am so happy I jumped into the deep end of being a single-member delegation because that is what really strengthened my independent curiosity and public speaking skills, helped me to engage with other member-states, and created new friendships.”

Professor of Political Science Dr. Barbara Donovan serves as a Model UN advisor and sees firsthand the growth that takes place during this process. “I am so proud of these women. They hold their own competing against much bigger schools. Wesleyan students are smart, articulate, and ready to make their case.”

WESLEYAN COLLEGE GIRLS WHO CODE CHAPTER FIRST IN CENTRAL GEORGIA

The Wesleyan College Girls Who Code chapter began in September 2016.

Girls Who Code is a national non-profit organization founded in 2013 for the purpose of closing the gender gap in technology-related careers. The organization points out the stark reality that, while tech jobs are among the fastest growing fields, girls are being left behind.

Interest in technology is high among elementary age girls but declines rapidly between the ages of 13 and 17. More disturbing is the fact that the percentage of U.S. women majoring in computer science today is less than the percentage of women who majored in computer science in the 1980s. As part of its effort to address this gap, Girls Who Code operates summer immersion programs for girls and also sponsors local clubs. Wesleyan’s is the FIRST and only Girls Who Code chapter in Central Georgia.

Led by Dr. Randy Heaton, assistant professor of mathematics, with the assistance of members of Wesleyan’s math club, Girls Who Code meets every Saturday in Willet Library. The group includes students from area middle and high schools. Girls Who Code and Wesleyan are a natural fit. Who better to inspire young girls to learn to code than Wesleyan women who have an enthusiasm for math and coding?

FLIPPED CLASSROOM Students enrolled in biology courses at Wesleyan College are currently experiencing an innovative method of instruction called the flipped classroom.

Jim Ferrari, professor of biology and arboretum director:

IN ORDER TO REACH THIS NEW GENERATION OF STUDENTS, I AM USING FEWER LECTURES AND MORE ACTIVELEARNING TECHNIQUES. WHILE I HAVE ALWAYS INCORPORATED DISCUSSIONS INTO MY UPPER-LEVEL COURSES, I’M MAKING A CONCERTED EFFORT TO DIVERSIFY MY CLASSROOM REPERTOIRE FOR INTRODUCTORY CLASSES AS WELL, SO THEY ARE MORE ENGAGING, RELEVANT, AND INTERACTIVE.

18

This model replaces traditional lectures and homework assignments with a review of concepts by the student prior to class followed by group activities during class meetings. Biology students are given pre-class assignments (directed virtual textbook exercises, annotated Powerpoint presentations, guides to content management) that prepare them for in-class engagement in course material.

After this introduction to the fundamentals, class time is used for group work that allows students to apply what they have learned, ask questions, and move on to more difficult information.

Although Wesleyan’s biology faculty have incorporated some elements of the flipped classroom approach for many years, extensive revision of introductory and upper division courses began departmentwide four years ago after faculty attended a National Association of Biology Teachers conference.

The biology department became part of a national shift in teaching toward hands-on

learning and knew Wesleyan’s small class sizes would be the perfect environment for this innovation.

Whether majoring in biology or fulfilling general education requirements, professors expect students to finish their biology courses with a solid foundation in the scientific method. Their goal is to empower students by equipping them with tools needed to find reliable scientific information and the ability to make informed choices about what to accept as fact. Case studies and virtual labs serve as instructional components in the flipped classroom, and students are often asked to design their own experiments to reinforce the idea that science is not a body of material to memorize— it is a process by which new information is discovered.

Preparation is vital for students to be successful in a flipped classroom setting. Students quickly learn that failure to prepare will hinder their progress during the group assignments and could impact their classmates’ learning as well. As expectations for students have grown, the amount of support available to them has also increased. Peer tutoring is offered every night.

Reacting to the

Past

Dr. Karen Huber’s History 215 is not the usual textbook/lecture enterprise that one might expect in a course about the French Revolution. “Rousseau, Burke, and Revolution in France, 1791” is part of Reacting to the Past (RTTP), a series of courses that consist of games in which students, informed by classic texts and primary sources, assume roles. RTTP classes are run by students; the instructor serves as advisor and guide and, of course, grades the students’ oral and written work.

Students learn speaking, writing, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and teamwork skills while staying true to the philosophical and intellectual beliefs of the historical figure they have been assigned to play. There is no script to follow; students must pursue a course of action consistent with their character through making speeches, writing papers, or making presentations, all in an effort to win the game.

20 18

In History 215, students are using JeanJacques Rousseau’s Social Contract, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, as well as other texts, as each assumes the persona of a Parisian in 1791 and considers such questions as: “Will the king retain power? Will the priests of the Catholic Church obey the general will of the National Assembly or the dictates of the Pope in Rome? Do traditional institutions and values constitute restraints on freedom and individual dignity or are they its essential bulwarks? Are slaves, women, and Jews entitled to the ‘Rights of Man’? Is violence a legitimate means of changing society or of purging it of dangerous enemies?”

Characters include the Marquis de Lafayette, King Louis XVI, and other specific historical figures, all of whom have well defined roles, as well as a number of “indeterminates” whose actions can be swayed by public opinion or argument. Students are finding that “living” history can be an effective method of learning history.

Reacting to the Past is a course that began at Barnard College and is now used by more than 300 colleges and universities. Other games include The Threshold of Democracy: Athens in 403 B.C; London 1854: Cesspits, Cholera, and Conflict over the Broad Street Pump; Red Clay, 1835: Cherokee Removal and the Meaning of Sovereignty, and many others.

FRESH FACE “What brought you to Wesleyan?” It’s a question that we ask first-year students often. Sometimes it’s a college fair, an Internet search, or a summer camp, but most students visit Wesleyan for the first time because a teacher, family member, or friend made a personal recommendation.

Green Knight Allison Hunt ’20 was referred by her color guard coach, Dana Gainey. Dana is the mother of two wonderful Wesleyan women: Cara Gainey Siebert ’14 and Jordan Gainey ’19.

Once on Wesleyan’s campus, Allison fell in love with the beauty of the surroundings, and she was made welcome by the Wesleyan Admissions Volunteer Experience (WAVE) ambassadors she met. “They really wanted my visit to be wonderful.” She also discovered Wesleyan’s special sisterhood and the opportunity to engage with professors in small classes.

That visit proved Wesleyan was the perfect choice for Allison.

She applied and was awarded the prestigious John Huland Carmical Scholarship.

A student at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Georgia, Allison participated in chorus, Mu Alpha Theta, Beta Club, Spanish Honor Society, and National Honor Society. She also served as captain of the color guard during her senior year. Off campus, Allison volunteered at a local pregnancy resource center, her church’s nursery, and an assisted care facility.

Although she has not yet chosen a major, Allison is becoming involved on campus in Math Club, Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table, and Baptist College Ministries. Wesleyan proudly welcomes Allison and all the Green Knights of 2020 to our sisterhood. Hoddy Toddy!

A CLASS OF

athletes Green Knight Class of 2020

From class soccer to intercollegiate sports, athletic competition has always been an integral part of the Wesleyan experience. When the Green Knight Class of 2020 arrived on campus this fall, onethird brought their athletic talents with them. Wesleyan currently has five NCAA Division III sports teams—basketball, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball—as well as an IHSA equestrian program. This season Wesleyan joined the USA South Athletic Conference, which is composed of sixteen coeducational institutions and women’s colleges, offering a more rigorous conference schedule. Division III athletes do not receive scholarships to play their sports, so all Wesleyan athletes join teams simply for the fulfillment that comes from competing in a game they enjoy.

SOFTBALL 7 FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

Recruiting software helps our coaches reach out to potential athletes, but Assistant Athletic Director and Head Basketball Coach Nicky DiMarzio explains that the most successful recruiting tool is having potential student-athletes visit campus.

“Meeting with our current athletes and coaches helps introduce recruits to the camaraderie that exists between Wesleyan teammates and the family environment.”

A new partnership between academics and athletics has formed through the introduction of the Student Athlete Academic Game Plan. In addition to each student’s academic advisor, faculty members serve to bridge academics and athletics by working with each team to identify barriers to the success of our student athletes.

WESLEYAN PLACES 3RD IN CANS ACROSS THE CONFERENCE COMPETITION The holidays are a time to give thanks and appreciate the blessings in one's life. In 2004, members of the USA South Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) initiated Cans Across the Conference, a canned food drive and community service competition among the 16 institutions in the USA South. Each campus SAAC collected canned goods and other non-perishable items at their school to benefit a local charity.

With a grand total of 5,654 items, Wesleyan College placed third in the Cans Across the Conference competition for 2016. The cans were donated to The Mentor's Project of Bibb County’s food bank where June O’Neal ’90 serves as executive director. Head Volleyball Coach and Student Athlete Advisory Committee Staff Advisor Caroline Carlton, who led the project, said, “That Wesleyan was able to finish in 3rd place is simply amazing. We are one of the smallest schools in the conference and were able to collect an astounding 5,654 cans! I cannot say thank you enough, and I want to give a special shout out to Wesleyan’s senior nursing class who alone collected over 3,000 cans.”

SIX SIGMA

GREEN BELT CERTIFICATION

at

Wesleyan College and Navicent Health recently developed a continuing education program for Navicent employees. “Six Sigma,” coined by Motorola in 1986, refers to a process that is nearly error-free, earning a sigma rating of six. Six Sigma has become a valued certification in many industries, especially health care. The curriculum prepares participants to improve the quality of their work environments and processes that fulfill the mission of the organization. The concept and the training address not only products, but also the processes and team work necessary to be productive and successful. Like the disciplined karate student, Six Sigma graduates earn “belts”: from yellow belt to green belt to the highest honors, black belt and master black belt.

In the last three years, Navicent has certified approximately 700 Lean Green Belts. Their current staff includes 472 Lean Green Belts, 25 Six Sigma Green Belts, and 25 Six Sigma Black Belts.

These employees represent various units on team projects, addressing the complex problems faced by the healthcare industry.

For instance, a team might assemble to address processing patients in the emergency center, and that team of Green/Black Belt members might include a physician, a nurse, a member of security, someone from the accounting office, and someone from facilities. All contribute to solving the problem.

In September, the IISE (Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers) approved Wesleyan to be a Qualified Training Provider, and

24

Dr. Ninfa Saunders, Navicent Health CEO and Wesleyan trustee, assigned a team of certified Navicent employees to work with Wesleyan faculty and staff to implement a Six Sigma program. The first five-week Lean Green Belt class began on October 25 under the leadership of Navicent Black Belt instructors.

Ten Navicent employees and six Wesleyan faculty and staff make up the cohort. Classes are taught in a hybrid style, with half of the course instruction online and half in the classroom, meeting on Wesleyan’s campus one night per week. Those who complete the Lean Green Belt course continue on to a five-week Six Sigma Green Belt course and then to the Black Belt course. At the end of each course, participants will complete an exam and students who pass the exam will receive IISE certification. After the first cohort graduates, Wesleyan faculty who earn IISE certification will assume major responsibility for instruction.

Navicent expects to enroll approximately thirty employees in Wesleyan Six Sigma courses over the next several months, and the program has the potential to enroll over one hundred students each year. After completion of the first Navicent-sponsored cohort, the program will be open to employees of other Middle Georgia companies. The future is bright for this partnership.

Navicent alone has thousands of employees, and it is a part of the larger Stratus Healthcare system composed of 21 hospitals, 25,000 employees, and 6,000 physicians throughout central and southern Georgia.

CONSORTIUM FOR ONLINE HUMANITIES INSTRUCTION Wesleyan College has been invited to participate with twenty other private liberal arts colleges in the new Consortium for Online Humanities Instruction. Formed by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC), members of the consortium will collaborate to improve teaching and learning in the humanities, explore new approaches to online education, and promote cooperation among smaller private liberal arts colleges. Wesleyan is the only institution in Georgia chosen to participate.

The three-year project, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will support the work of four-person teams at each school to develop upperlevel undergraduate courses in the humanities. Wesleyan is represented by Provost Dr. Vivia Fowler, Registrar Angie Wright, Associate Professor of History Dr. Nicholas Steneck, and Professor of Art Dr. Libby Bailey. Dr. Steneck is preparing a course on American wars in the 20th Century, and Dr. Bailey is creating a course on Greek and Roman art. Participating professors on each campus will teach their new courses in the traditional campus setting during the Spring 2017 semester. The following year, they will teach these courses online. Students at all 21 institutions will be able to enroll in any of the online classes and no fees will be assessed between the schools.

“Participation in CIC’s online humanities consortium will provide the impetus for our faculty, who excel in classroom instruction, to explore ways to be equally excellent in online instruction. It also holds great potential for students from small, private institutions to have access to more humanities courses than we could ever provide with our limited curriculum,” said Provost Fowler.

Subjects that will be taught by other consortium members include bioethics, Italian culture, black feminist thought, the history of medicine, Christianity and American society, globalization, and classics of world literature.

Can girls SUCCEED in STEM fields?

In 2011, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Wesleyan College $576,000 to fund a new Math/Science Student Preparation and Retention Collaborative (M/S SPARC) program. The NSF received 363 proposals from colleges and universities nationwide and Wesleyan was one of an elite group of 80 selected.

In their award letter, the NSF cited the excellent post-graduate outcomes of Wesleyan’s science and mathematics majors as well as its exemplary academic support programs. This five-year grant provides scholarship and programmatic support for two cohorts of high-achieving women with financial need from rural and inner-city schools in Georgia who major in biology, chemistry, neuroscience, or mathematics.

The national average graduation rate for students in STEM majors from 2001 to 2006 was 17%. According to Professor of Biology Dr. Holly Boettger-Tong, the aim of M/S SPARC is to test the hypothesis that a combination of scholarships, academic “boot camps” conducted prior to the first and second years, intensive faculty and peer advising, research opportunities, and innovative programming will result in improved academic performance and greater retention of math and science majors. Now in the fifth and final year of the grant, preliminary results are very encouraging.

For the purpose of analysis, Wesleyan’s Financial Aid Office created a matched sample of students with similar financial needs, SAT scores, and majors to be the control group against which the SPARC cohorts would be measured. Preliminary data indicated that SPARC Scholars have higher grade point averages than their counterparts, and they believe their boot camp and advising experiences helped them to bond as a cohort and succeed academically. When the program concludes next year, Wesleyan will be able to share findings with other schools to help them improve the academic success and retention of a diverse group of math and science students in their own institutions. Once the NSF grant concludes next year, Wesleyan will be challenged to institutionalize and continue aspects of the M/S SPARC program that are proving to be so beneficial to our students. Dr. Boettger-Tong says Wesleyan has already institutionalized peer advising and

tutoring as a path to success for first year biology, math, and chemistry students.

SPARC Scholars began graduating in 2015, and today these alumnae are working or pursuing graduate degrees in math and science. Chelsea Widener ‘15 was recruited to the first SPARC cohort in 2011 at the end of her junior year in high school. Move On When Ready, a dual enrollment program sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education, allowed her to move to Macon and enroll at Wesleyan to complete her senior year of high school and her first year of college simultaneously.

During breaks from school, Chelsea secured summer internships, participating in research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory near Knoxville, Tennessee, and Pacific Northwest Research National Laboratory in Seattle, Washington.

She also spent her senior spring break shadowing Dr. Abena Redwood ’06, a post-doctoral researcher at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Chelsea believes all her experiences in the SPARC program made her attractive to graduate programs. She applied to five and was admitted and offered assistantships at all five schools. Chelsea chose Auburn University and began work on a master’s degree in mathematics in the fall of 2015.

Qadan Farah ’15 is also an alumna of the first SPARC cohort. Although she originally planned to attend another school, the opportunity to participate in SPARC convinced her to enroll at Wesleyan. She credits the SPARC program with helping her to synthesize her career goals and to find opportunities she would not have discovered on her own. One of those opportunities was participating in research with Dr. Boettger-Tong and Munroe Scholar Sunada Khadka ’16. Today, Qadan is studying at Mercer University College of Pharmacy and she works part time as a pharmacy technician.

According to Shakarr Wiggins ’15, the SPARC program is unique for its focus on career development. This program sparked her interest in research in which she participated at Wesleyan and during her study abroad. “By far the coolest experience for me was shadowing Wesleyan Alumna Nur-Taz Rahman ’10 who was a PhD student at Yale University.

This opportunity provided a great look into graduate school and Nur-Taz offered amazing advice.” After graduating from Wesleyan, Shakarr took a gap year to participate in a research program at Virginia Tech involving traumatic brain injuries. Today she is a first-year PhD student at Weill Cornell Medical College (Cornell University’s Medical Campus in New York City) studying neuroscience.

Becoming New Again Willet Memorial Library has stood the test of time, serving as the academic haven for generations of Wesleyannes for almost 50 years. During the 1967 dedication, Wesleyan President Dr. Earl Strickland noted the design incorporated “everything that is modern and efficient.” The goal was to remove barriers between students and books, create a quiet, inviting, and comfortable atmosphere, and protect the condition of the College’s vast collection. This spring, the first phase of a “new” Willet Library will open in the same location.

Goals for today’s renovation are similar, but also include greater access to technology, collaborative congregational spaces, and quiet areas for private study.

Studies show library facilities are a significant factor in student recruitment, retention, and academic success. In the years since Willet Library was constructed, the concept of what a library can and should be has changed. In 1967, the goal was to maximize student access to the print materials contained within the walls of the library. While

3D Scanner & 3D printer (D Lab)

the availability of print materials continues to be important, student needs now include both group and individual study spaces with ready access to computers and an array of technology.

Program and architectural consultants have assessed these needs and the manner in which the library’s offerings might be modified.

The resulting design enhances collaboration and fosters student engagement. The renovated Willet Library will be a full-service learning, research, and project space that integrates sophisticated technology into a comfortable and welcoming setting offering access to information resources in a variety of spaces that facilitate both collaborative and quiet, focused work.

Video production technology including video cameras, digital cameras, digital camcorders, and computers with video editing software

2 Media Hubs for small group collaboration

20 personal computer stations

Ideally, renovation of the second and third floors would begin in June 2017. However, an additional $2.5 million is needed to complete the entire renovation. The vision for the second and third floors is equally as exciting as the transformation of the first floor. If you would like to make a gift to help with the renovation of Willet Library, please call the Office of Institutional Advancement at 478-757-5131.

The library’s main entrance will relocate to the first floor, opening to a comfortably furnished active learning space to accommodate laptops, tablets, iPads, and cell phones. A large open room with a variety of seating areas, this redesigned floor will provide students with a casual place to meet, interact, and study 24 hours a day. The first floor also will be the new home for The Learning Commons, a consortium of student learning resources including the Academic Center, Peer Tutoring, First Year Experience, and the Writing Center. Moving these services to the library produces a natural synergy, creating one central place where students can find academic and research assistance. The first floor of the building will be available by key card access even after the second and third floors close, giving students a secure place to congregate and study at all hours.

WISE 301

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

That’s the question three faculty members asked our first cohort of Wesleyan College of Guangzhou University (WCGU) students gathered in Pierce Chapel on a bright June morning last summer.

The words are from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Summer Day,” and they came at the beginning of WISe 301 (Wesleyan Integrative Seminar), the interdisciplinary capstone course the first cohort of fifty-five dual-degree students completed as the culmination of their intense year at Wesleyan.

Titled “Interpretations of Land and Nature,” WISe 301 was team-taught by Political Science Professor Barbara Donovan, Biology Professor

28

Barry Rhoades, and English Professor Matt Martin. “These students worked hard and experienced much during their time at Wesleyan,” said Martin.

“We wanted this course to be meaningful to them, both as a microcosm of their Wesleyan experience and as a chance to reflect on and demonstrate how much they’d learned.”

For the topic of the course, Donovan came up with the idea of focusing on something the WCGU students had commented on from their arrival—their love of the Wesleyan campus. “We had a lot of goals for this final capstone experience,” said Donovan, “but ultimately we wanted to give these students an

experience they could connect to the place that is Wesleyan.”

Early in the semester, Rhoades introduced the students to YiFu Tuan’s concept of space versus place, defining a space as a physical location and place as a location to which people attach meaning. During WISe 301, students read and discussed ways of thinking about land and nature; they interacted with the campus; and ultimately they completed a group project in which they designed a way to turn a space in Wesleyan’s “borderlands” between the Arboretum and front campus into a place that would be meaningful to the whole community. “I have long imagined this area of the

campus becoming more inviting and useable,” said Rhoades, “and this class provided an opportunity to set fifty-five fresh minds and perspectives to that task.”

Students compared the world-views of John Locke, Confucius, and Native Americans. They read essays

by American naturalists Aldo Leopold, John Muir, and Henry David Thoreau, poetry

by Whitman, Dickinson, Wendell Berry, and Mary Oliver, and Garret Hardin’s classic treatise “The Tragedy of the Commons.” Next, they divided into small group simulations of blindly “fishing” goldfish crackers from covered containers. “Fifty-five students

sitting in six circles and fishing all at once was pandemonium, but still my favorite class session,” said Rhoades. “Seeing one of your groupmates “starve” because you hoarded enough goldfish to trade for a Hershey’s Kiss candy was a painless, but direct and effective way to experience the consequences of overexploitation of common resources.”

Students also took an ecological tour of the Arboretum with Biology Professor Jim Ferrari, built a bridge, blazed a new walking trail, and wrote their own meditative poem after a time of reflection in the Arboretum.

In July, faculty led a field trip to the Ocmulgee Indian Mounds National Monument, Amerson River Park, and Tatnall Square Park so students could see how a number of spaces in Macon had become places.

Their final group projects combined a focus on sustainability with design thinking, a formal problemsolving technique developed at Stanford University. During this process, students working in small groups first defined a problem they’d like to solve, then interviewed people connected to the problem, and tried to figure out what their “user” needed. The group then brainstormed solutions for that need, chose the one solution they thought would make the biggest difference, and built a quick prototype of their solution.

Finally, they took that prototype back to the user for their reaction.

For Interpretations of Land and Nature, student groups each chose a space on campus in the borderlands which they thought could be transformed, interviewed members of the Wesleyan community—staff, faculty, fellow students—to discover what they might need in order for this space to become a meaningful place, and then designed a solution to meet one of those needs.

To share their solutions, each group delivered a WeD talk (a pun on the popular internet TED talks) where they told the story of their journey through the design thinking process and their solution.

Six weeks after the class started, students gathered again in Pierce Chapel to hear the best two WeD talks from each of the three class sections. “It was hard for me to believe these were the same students I had taught a year earlier in WISe 201,” said Martin, referring to the threeweek interdisciplinary course WCGU students take when they first arrive at Wesleyan. “They were poised and confident. They had grown so much.”

“All the talks were creative, funny, and moving,” said Donovan, “with many students reflecting on the importance of stepping outside oneself to solve problems.”

The winning group came from Donovan’s class. Their solution re-conceptualized the vegetable garden area behind the admissions office in Huckabee Hall, adding features such as running water and a compost bin to make the garden more sustainable, and creating a small park-like setting on the adjacent lawns where students and visiting families could relax on benches and swings.

“Design thinking is a unique approach to problem solving that emphasizes empathy and innovative thinking. It’s exciting to know these students have taken it back to China,” said Donovan. “So many of the students said they had never encountered anything like this before.”

Yuxuan (Priscilla) Deng wrote about her experience, “The first step of the project is learning about empathy … just talking about empathy seems easy, but when I actually did it, I found it hard to not think about my own experience.

Afterward, I understood what it means to get to know someone and figure out what really matters to him or her.”

Students compared the world-views of John Locke, Confucius, and Native Americans.

They read essays by American naturalists Aldo Leopold, John Muir, and Henry David Thoreau, poetry by Whitman, Dickinson, Wendell Berry, and Mary Oliver, and Garret Hardin’s classic treatise.

BACK WESLEYAN’S CONSERVATORY EXPERIENCE

In 1928, Wesleyan College opened its new campus for liberal arts at Rivoli, while the Conservatory of Music and School of Fine Arts remained on the original downtown campus on College Street.

Traditionally referred to as “The Conservatory,” the main building was an imposing Victorian-style building five stories high, filled with students from all over the United States and several foreign countries. Faculty were among the finest in their fields with credentials to rival any faculty in the country. Claire Michaels Murray ’52 explained, “When I was playing violin in high school, I began searching for a women’s college affiliated with the Methodist Church with exceptional violin teachers.” Her quest brought her to Wesleyan’s Conservatory where she studied with Beatrice Eleanor Horsbrugh, who had studied with Jascha Heifitz, considered by many to be the finest violinist of all time. Violin performances were frequent highlights of Claire’s

study, and she claims she had more evening gowns in her closet than ordinary clothes.

Alumnae describe the residence hall rooms as extremely large, each with its own fireplace and tall, wooden shuttered windows and heart pine flooring. Two students usually shared a room that included an alcove or dressing room. Clothes were kept in large wardrobes or armoires, often placed in the extraordinarily wide hallways designed to accommodate the full dresses of the Victorian era. Stunning stairways accessed upper floors with only one elevator in the entire structure. Parlors were filled with gorgeous paintings, chandeliers, and pier mirrors, some of which can be found on the Rivoli campus today.

The ringing of a large brass dinner bell called students to meals served family-style.

The same bell is used today

by Wesleyan’s Office of Alumnae Affairs to start the

Golden Belles Luncheon during Alumnae Weekend. Abundant Georgia products were always used in meals––especially grits, pecans, peaches, and sorghum syrup. On occasion, cooks would come into the dining room to serenade the students with hymns or conventional holiday songs.

Renowned Macon pianist Susan Thigpen McDuffie ’53 was recruited to study with Ralph Lawton, a protégé of Joseph Levine. Of fourteen piano majors who began the year with Mr. Lawton, only four remained by the end of the year.

In Susan’s words, “Mr. Lawton was exactly what I needed. He provided the foundation and technique that were essential for me to improve, and each one of my other teachers did the same.” McDuffie’s first position after graduation from the Conservatory was teaching piano preparatory courses to voice majors on the Rivoli campus in 1954-1955. Over the years she has given private piano lessons, teaching her own exceptional students who have become faculty members at Eastman School of Music, the New England Conservatory, and Berklee College of Music. Susan was recently named the Top Music Teacher in the State of Georgia for 2016-2017.

Evelyn LeRoy Fortson ’52 found the same quality of instruction with her voice professor, Vladimir Zorin, who trained at the Vienna Conservatory of Music.

According to Evelyn, voice students who succeeded did so the “Zorin way.” Each had requirements so strenuous that none could afford to indulge in dating, going out for dinner, or shopping. Instead, a typical day was rigorous, filled with a few academic classes, a great deal of instruction, and hours upon hours of practice. As Evelyn explained, “Being a voice major was a physical, emotional, mental commitment and not everyone would succeed.” Voice majors were required to participate in Wesleyan’s Glee Club, a group that was trained

by Mr. Zorin and was famous not only for its beautiful voices but also for the repertoire of music they had mastered.

The Glee Club traveled each year, giving performances throughout Georgia,

“IT WAS THE PLACE WHERE WE NOT ONLY LEARNED HOW TO LEARN, BUT LEARNED TO EXPLORE, TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, AND TO DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN OURSELVES.” Florida, and South Carolina. During the Korean War, students were invited to sing at military bases on the Third Army Tour. Wesleyan students slept in the women’s barracks and were encouraged to socialize and dance with the enlisted men.

Art, fashion design, speech, theatre, and broadcasting were also significant programs of study. Professor Esther Coudret, who trained at the Vogue School of Fashion Art, and Professor Jean Courtright taught fashion design and illustrations, costume design, and fashion.

Each year, students traveled to Atlanta to attend Rich’s Fashionata, which brought world-class designers and runway models to show off the latest designs.

Marianne Wooten Dunn ’49, one of five fashion design majors in 1948 and 1949, said it was Professors Emil Holzhauzer, Gulnar Bosch, and Lucille Blanche, married to famous NYC artist Arnold Blanche, who inspired her love for art. Marianne was one of the fortunate students invited by Holzhauer to paint pictures of Macon houses and to sit on the grass with him in front of the Conservatory, learning the art of perspective.

Mrs. Harriett Garret Rowand, whose training had been with renowned dancer Martha Graham, taught Wesleyan students modern dance techniques and collaborated with other professors in holding spring art festivals. Students rotated through all departments of the theatre program, learning speech and diction. Classical plays of the highest caliber were performed on

stage in the original Pierce Chapel.

According to Claire Houser-Dodd ’53, “theatre students were responsible for creating everything needed for a stage production, including building props, providing electrical work, creating costumes and hats for the appropriate period – every aspect of the production.

When we toured in other cities, we had to take all of this with us, set it up ourselves, and sometimes improvise, depending on the kind of stages available.”

Gayle Attaway Findlay ’55 chose the Conservatory for her interest in radio broadcasting and because “it was the place where we not only learned how to learn but also learned to explore, to develop critical thinking skills, and to develop confidence in ourselves.” She explains, “Life at Wesleyan [Conservatory] was really big! It was a perfect time and place for me, with people and experiences I would never have encountered had I not chosen to attend.”

In 1953, President B. Joseph Martin announced action had been taken by the board of trustees to house all students on the Rivoli campus and to teach as many courses as possible there. This move, according to Dr. Martin, would better coordinate the overall Wesleyan program and enrich curricular offerings of both the liberal and fine arts departments.

Wesleyan’s Fine Arts Program is alive and well today with the nostalgia of Wesleyan’s Conservatory of Music and School of Fine Arts still lingering in the hearts of many alumnae.

Eleanor Lane The unofficial

LEADER OF THE CLASS OF ’58

On October 17, 2016, Wesleyan College honored Eleanor Adams Lane ’58 as the Wesleyan Benefactor of 2016 and presented her with Wesleyan’s first Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award at a dinner at Wesleyan’s Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table. Following are excerpts from President Ruth Knox’s remarks:

Eleanor Adams Lane has been a role model to many over the years, including her Wesleyan classmates, the Purple Knights of 1958.

Just listen to this caption from her senior photograph in that year’s Veterropt:

A WINDOW OPENS AND A BELLOWING “CHARGE” BREAKS THE NIGHT QUIET… WE GATHER TO BE ENTERTAINED

BY HER SPARKLING SOPHISTICATED HUMOR, WHETHER EXEMPLIFIED AS A RIOTOUS PRANK OR A PRICELESS REMARK…PEOPLE ARE DRAWN TO HER INTRIGUING CONVERSATIONS, WHICH SHOW MUCH MORE THAN THE CAREFREE SURFACE SHE TURNS MOST OFTEN TO THE WORLD….THERE IS HER INTENSE LOVE AND PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE… HER DISGUST FOR HYPOCRISY AND HER UNWAVERING STRENGTH TO ACCLAIM WHAT SHE THINKS IS RIGHT…THERE IS HER INTENSE LOYALTY TO HER FRIENDS, HER CLASS, AND HER COLLEGE…HER DEEP LOVE FOR WESLEYAN IS MORE THAN SENTIMENTAL DEVOTION…SHE HAS A PERCEPTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PROBLEMS AND AN EARNEST DESIRE TO SEE THEM CORRECTED. THIS HAS MADE ELEANOR THE UNOFFICIAL LEADER OF OUR CLASS.

Eleanor has continued to be an unofficial leader of the Class of ’58 – outstanding among a singular group of outstanding women. An activist since graduation, she has spent a lifetime showing us that one person can make a difference – even when the cause is not popular – and that the life well-lived is one spent in service of others, especially the disenfranchised and the powerless.

Eleanor has been driven by a dedication to her family, her church, her community, and Wesleyan College, and we are all the richer for it. In addition to a lifetime of civic service, she has served the College in many ways, including as a class liaison where she has prodded and cajoled her classmates often and well for their gifts and their attendance at reunions. In 1986, she served as chair of the Wesleyan Sesquicentennial Committee. She was a Trustee for 11 years. I myself can attest that she has great personal courage, always willing to speak the truth when others will not and always serving as a voice of reason.

And most important of all, in my humble opinion, she has been the

guiding force – the heart, soul, and spirit – for almost fifteen years now of Wesleyan’s Lane Center for Service and Leadership. It’s no exaggeration to say that but for Eleanor, the Lane Center would not exist. Literally hundreds of Lane Center Servant Leaders would not have learned about caring for others through Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table or the scores of other projects the Lane Center undertakes. Hundreds of Macon children served by Aunt Maggie’s – both here and at our former location in Anthony Homes – would not have felt loved and nurtured by our students and by Eleanor herself. She is that important to the mission of Wesleyan College today.

In recognition of your lifetime of exemplary character, leadership, service to the community, and spiritual values, we are delighted to honor you this evening as the Wesleyan Benefactor of 2016 and to present to you Wesleyan’s first Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award.

We thank you for being a model Wesleyan Woman and for sharing yourself so generously with us all.

We love and admire you and are so very grateful that you are ours!

ALUMNAE ARE THE COLLEGE’S BEST AMBASSADORS FOR ADMISSION. NOT ONLY CAN THEY IDENTIFY YOUNG WOMEN WHO WILL BE A GOOD FIT FOR THE COLLEGE, BUT ALSO AS VOLUNTEERS THEY DEMONSTRATE A VERY SPECIAL WAY TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR ALMA MATER.

AMANDA ROWAN, EMILY PEREZ, and HOLLY JOHNSON were referred by their studio art teacher Claire Amy Shultz ’06.

All three women received Wesleyan’s Educator’s Referral scholarship. A high school senior advisor, Claire said, “I’ve referred other students to Wesleyan in the past and have found it to be a surreal experience because not long ago I was a student myself. The Wesleyan experience can be exactly what you need it to be as an individual, both academically and socially.”

The world’s largest professional network:

400 million strong.

LinkedIn is an online professional networking site with the goal of allowing registered members to establish and document networks of people they know and trust professionally, including employers posting jobs and job seekers posting their resumes.

Make LinkedIn work for you According to Sarah Schanck, director of career development, LinkedIn is the best professional networking and job search tool available to college students and alumnae.

“An incredible amount of strategic things can be done through the LinkedIn platform, but you must have a strong profile first and foremost.” So what should be on the profile?

Here are a few tips to get you started: Choose a professional photo: It doesn’t have to be a professionally taken photo, but you need to look like a professional. Have a co-worker snap a picture on a day that you look really nice for work!

36

Pay attention to your tagline: The tagline appears after the name in the profile box. This entire box shows up in search results, so let others know about you.

Instead of just simply writing your job title, be either forward thinking or skill focused. For example, try “Human Resources professional with 5+ years of experience in recruiting” or “Wesleyan communications grad seeking public relations position.”

Think of your profile as a resume plus: Your LinkedIn profile should be an expansion of your traditional resumé or CV without the space limitations. If you need eight bullet points to describe a project and you only have room for three on your paper document, you should add all eight on LinkedIn.

Wesleyan forms new partnership with Girls, Inc. In October, the Lane Center for Service and Leadership and the Office of Enrollment Services welcomed to campus five students from the Columbus, Georgia, chapter of Girls, Inc. for an overnight visit.

Sophomore Seychelle Hercules, who benefited from the program during high school, served as a chaperone for the group who spent the night in Mathews Athletic Center. The next morning the girls joined a team of students, faculty, staff, alumnae, and community volunteers in serving agencies across Macon for WOW! A Day and then enjoyed watching the Wolves soccer team play LaGrange College.

Girls, Inc. is a national educational program dedicated to inspiring and empowering young women to be strong, smart, and confident. Using a variety of workshops and educational experiences, the organization teaches girls to set and achieve goals, confront challenges, resist peer pressure, and see college as attainable.

Textbooks now included in tuition

WESLEYAN RECOGNIZED BY THE PRINCETON REVIEW AS A 2016 TOP GREEN COLLEGE Wesleyan is one of America’s 381 most environmentally responsible colleges according to The Princeton Review’s 2016 Green Guide.

The Princeton Review ranked the colleges based on “Green Rating” scores (from 60 to 99) the company tallied in summer 2016 for 640 colleges using data from its 2015-16 survey of school administrators. The survey asked administrators to report on their school’s sustainability-related policies, practices, and programs.

More than 25 data points were weighted in the assessment.

Schools with Green Rating scores of 80 or higher made it into this guide. Wesleyan earned a rating of 92.

This fall the College partnered with a course materials management company to provide all students 100 percent of their required educational content by the first day of class. Students pay a low, predictable access fee that is included in their tuition, which provides substantial savings and improves college affordability. By

integrating the cost of materials into tuition, it can be covered by financial aid and other tuitionprovided assistance.

When a student registers for her classes, textbooks and other materials she needs are shipped to the Wesleyan post office or the student’s home address. It’s her choice.

EXPANDING THE CREATIVE MIND

In October, Wesleyan’s board of trustees approved adding a bachelor of fine arts (BFA) program to the College’s degree offerings beginning fall semester 2017. Students will acquire, develop, and refine skills and knowledge through an intensive in-depth study of specific areas of studio art.

Learning outcomes for the BFA include gaining a broad knowledge of the processes of art in various media while learning to analyze and critique artwork, and demonstrating professional preparedness for a career in art.

During her junior year, BFA students will participate in a department critique. Each senior student will be required to have an exhibition at the end of her coursework along with an illustrated catalogue and artist’s statement. Students are encouraged to become involved in art related internships and collaborations on campus and are required to attend lectures, exhibition openings, and workshops provided by the art department.

PRESIDENT RUTH KNOX ’75 ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT AFTER 15 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COLLEGE In August, Ruth Knox announced her plan to retire as president of Wesleyan College, to be effective June 30, 2017.

“I have never felt more confident in our mission, in the quality of the Wesleyan Experience, and in the faculty, staff, trustees, alumnae, and friends who are dedicated to making that experience a superb one for our students.

I am so very proud to be a member of this beloved community.”

Knox said she is looking forward to celebrating another wonderful year at Wesleyan and is committed to devoting her energy and enthusiasm completely. Thereafter, she will continue to be a loyal and dedicated alumna while returning to her family home in Thomson, Georgia, to become a fulltime community volunteer.

“For now, let’s celebrate the new year, the fun and visits we’ll have together, all the new projects we have to accomplish, and you - the incredible alumnae and friends of Wesleyan College.”

Wesleyan Star Established in 2014, the Wesleyan Star honors alumnae who have given for two, three, or four consecutive years. Recognition of Wesleyan Stars includes a M following their names in the alumnae Class Giving section and special recognition during Alumnae Weekend.

Winner’s Circle

A 2014 addition to our recognition of consecutive year donors includes the Winner’s Circle. These faithful alumnae have supported Wesleyan with gifts for ten to nineteen consecutive years. To recognize this loyalty, Winner’s Circle faithful are honored with a following their names in the alumnae Class Giving section, as well as with special recognition during Alumnae Weekend.

Society for the 21st Century Because we are forever grateful for those who remember Wesleyan with a planned gift, these alumnae are now recognized in the Class Giving Section.

The names of current Society members will appear in bold typeface and those from whom we have received a legacy gift will appear in italics.

Thomas Langston Bass October 31, 1938 - November 3, 2016 Trustee emeritus at Wesleyan Thomas Langston Bass, Trustee emeritus at Wesleyan, died on November 3, 2016 of complications from Parkinson’s Disease. A native of Melbourne, Florida, Tom graduated from Duke University where he earned his BA (with honors in history) and JD degrees. While studying at Oxford University, Tom met his future wife, Patricia Walker Bass. Tricia and Tom moved to Macon in 1963 and he joined the law firm of Anderson, Walker, and Reichert.

In addition to Wesleyan, many civic organizations benefitted from Tom’s dedicated hard work and enthusiasm including Kiwanis Club of Macon, United Way of Central Georgia, Macon Council on World Affairs, Museum of Arts and Sciences, and Stratford Academy. Over the years, Tom served as chairman of the board for most of these community organizations.

For almost thirty years, Tom served Wesleyan faithfully and diligently on the Board of Trustees including six years as Board Chairman.

Yet, Tom’s actual involvement with Wesleyan began in the early 1970s as a member of the Board of Associates. For more than forty years, Tom led fundraising efforts for the College, and he was extremely successful in securing financial support from corporations, foundations, and individuals. Because of his extraordinary service, Tom was honored with the Valeria McCullough Murphey Award in 2006. The award citation noted many of the ways Tom contributed to the College including his terms as Chair of the Building and Grounds Committee, Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee, and Chair of the Committee on Trustees.

In a tribute to Tom at the Legacy Gala in 2008, President Knox noted, “He loves this campus – attending virtually every musical event, sometimes just walking around, chatting with faculty, noticing debris on the ground and picking it up, or spending time by the lake. That’s just an indication of the kind of man Tom Bass is – caring, concerned, and actively involved with everything we do. I suspect no one, not even he, knows the amount of time Tom Bass has given to Wesleyan over the last six years, but I can assure you that his gifts to us are priceless.” Wesleyan certainly is a better institution because of Tom’s service, commitment, and generosity. The entire Wesleyan community will miss the guidance and leadership of our friend and Trustee, Thomas L. Bass.

Trustee emeritus Andrew H. Heyward died at his home in Atlanta on December 8, 2016, having served Wesleyan for 19 years as a member of the Board of Trustees. A native of Macon and Atlanta, Andy graduated from Lanier Boys High in Macon and the University of Georgia where he was a member of Kappa Alpha and was inducted into the Gridiron Society. He married Wesleyan graduate Carol Inman in 1960 following his military service and enjoyed a successful career with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company for 48 years.

On Benefactors’ Day in October 2015, Wesleyan honored the Heywards for their many contributions over the years by naming two classrooms in Taylor Hall for Andy and Carol, one in the Schuster business wing and the other on the main floor of the psychology wing.

The following are excerpts taken from remarks made by President Ruth Knox at the time of this occasion.

Like several of us, Andy Heyward was born into a Wesleyan family – and his is quite a lineage indeed. As a matter of fact, Andy is the third generation of men in his family who had the good sense to marry a Wesleyan alumna. His grandmother Marion Sherwood Speer Heyward was in the Class of 1892, his mother graduated from the Conservatory, Class of 1931, and of course, Andy’s own dear Carol is part of the great Green Knight Class of 1960.

Along with his sister Mildred “Bunny” Heyward Clarke, in 1991 Andy helped to shape a gift from his mother to establish the Mildred Goodrum Heyward Chair in Music, reflecting not only Mrs. Heyward’s connection with the Conservatory but also the fact that music was one of her great loves and a central feature of her life. Wesleyan’s Heyward Chair of Music is held by Wesleyan alumna Nadine Cheek.

In 1997, Andy helped to craft another gift to establish the Mildred Goodrum Heyward Endowed Scholarship, which each year goes to an outstanding music student. Since the fund’s creation, some of our finest musicians have benefited from its assistance, and this major scholarship is yet another tribute to Andy and his mother.

Andy’s legacy will live on through the students and faculty who continue to benefit from his generosity.

Why We Give B y J a n e P r i c e C l ax t o n ’ 6 8 On September 13, 1964, when I became a student at Wesleyan College, there was no way for me to imagine the extent of the positive impact the school would have on me for the remainder of my life. Nor could the young man I eventually married—and had dated since the day after my sixteenth birthday— have imagined how much Wesleyan College would come to mean to him! Today my husband, Joe, and I are very grateful for what Wesleyan has meant in our lives. Joe shares the enduring friendships and many of the great memories I have from my days at Wesleyan College.

Wesleyan gave me the foundation for twenty-five successful years as a teacher, guidance counselor, and college counselor at Mount de Sales Academy in Macon. Joe, now a professor emeritus at Mercer University School of Law, had a unique perspective during his career from which to evaluate the worth of a Wesleyan education. As a teacher and administrator at the Law School, he admitted or taught a number of Wesleyan graduates.

Without exception, all of them were fine students and are alumnae Mercer Law School is very proud to claim.

As long-time residents of Macon, Joe and I have had an opportunity to observe many of the changes that have occurred at Wesleyan during the last few decades. New academic majors and programs are part of the curriculum. New outreach initiatives have engaged

72

students in the life of the Macon community. New buildings enhance Wesleyan’s academic mission and add to the grace and beauty of the campus. Among those buildings is the lovely Pierce Chapel, which for many students and alumnae has become the physical heart and soul of Wesleyan College.

Indeed, Pierce Chapel is symbolic of the fact that Wesleyannes across generations have an unbreakable connection. Now Wesleyan is embarking on a building project that goes to the core of education in every academic institution—the renovation of Willet Library. The planned renovation of Willet will address the learning processes of today’s college students, all of whom use technology in ways that did not even exist when I was a Wesleyanne. Fifty years ago, no Wesleyan student could have envisioned that hall phones would be replaced by smart phones!

Higher education always has been costly. My parents sacrificed to send me (and my younger sister, Janis Eugenia Price, PK ’74) to Wesleyan College, and parents do the same today. My parents were confident Wesleyan College would provide an excellent education for their daughters. It did exactly that, both inside and outside the classroom. Joe and I support Wesleyan College because we want students enrolled during the twenty-first century to have the same opportunities that Wesleyan provided for me fifty years ago.
