Greetings from the President I’ve always loved the sentence on the marker at the site of Old Wesleyan that says, “The motto on its seal – Scienta et Pietas – represents ideals which have inspired her graduates to go forth to the far corners of the earth to teach, to lead, and to serve.” These words ring as true today as when they were written many years ago. Students of the 21st century are just as concerned about the needs of people all over the world, just as committed to making the world a better place, and just as devoted to issues of justice as you were…and your Wesleyan sisters before you.

This issue of WESmag will touch your heart. You will be so proud to learn of the wonderful ways our Wesleyan community serves the Middle Georgia community. You’ll read of current and former students who are scholars and servant leaders. You’ll read how their lives—and their educational experiences—have been enriched by giving even more of themselves than we require. You’ll see how they have developed interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills along the way.

Wesleyan has been recognized regionally and nationally for our commitment to community service. We are among only a few institutions in Georgia to be chosen by the Sullivan Foundation to award the prestigious Mary Mildred Sullivan Award for Service

to a student during commencement exercises each May, and for many years we were recognized by the former President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. But our commitment to service is not for public recognition. It’s who we are. Our mission statement asserts that a Wesleyan education helps “every student find a unique voice and purpose,” and one of our guiding principles declares that Wesleyan “encourages students to find their own places within a community and to contribute in meaningful ways.”

Like our academic programs, our co-curricular programs such as The Lane Center for Service and Leadership could not exist without the support of loyal alumnae like you, some of whom are featured in this magazine. We are especially grateful to the Lane family for their continued support.

As always, you’ll enjoy reading news of your classmates and others, and we hope you will be prompted to let us know your news. We love hearing from you, and we especially love seeing you during Alumnae Weekend.

With gratitude,

Vivia

DOING PRACTICAL THINGS THAT HELP PEOPLE IMPROVE

THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES. The College’s commitment to community engagement shapes the Wesleyan experience for the scores of students who take advantage of the many opportunities for service.

Through volunteer work, students find a sense of purpose, learn about the greater community and the needs of its people, and develop as servantleaders with skills and passions that they carry with them when they complete their undergraduate years.

Since 2003, The Lane Center for Service and Leadership has served as the heart and soul of Wesleyan’s ongoing efforts to prepare students for lifelong service. With the support of The Lane Center, Wesleyan women work both on and off campus with dozens of nonprofit organizations and agencies, learning to assess community challenges and develop strategies for addressing those challenges. Our students primarily focus on issues related to women and children, particularly education, domestic/sexual abuse, at-risk youth, and the homeless. With direction from

Lane Center servant leaders, students gain first-hand experience with planning, facilitation, and outcome assessment, including how to budget time and allocate resources.

About three-quarters of Wesleyan students volunteer through The Lane Center, providing more than 9,500 hours of community service each year. Among many other activities, student volunteers have delivered personal hygiene supply boxes; served breakfast to the homeless; visited retirement homes to sing Christmas carols and decorate for the holidays; packed and delivered hundreds of Christmas gifts for Operation Christmas Child; provided administrative support to the Rotary Clubs of Macon for their Feed 100+ Families program to deliver holiday meals to needy families; helped prepare and plant a community garden; marched with Crisis Line and Safe House in its “Take Back the Night” event to heighten awareness of sexual assault; tutored students; conducted SAT/ACT prep workshops;

and provided their own testimonials to at-risk students about overcoming personal challenges.

Jill Amos ’87, immediate past director of The Lane Center has described its work: “We do little things that make a big difference – practical things that help people improve the quality of their lives. Some students act as translators at parent-teacher conferences. Others mentor middle school students. Business and accounting majors offer financial advice to local families and help members of the community prepare tax returns through the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).” [VITA awards certificates in tax preparation from the Internal Revenue Service for providing tax return assistance to low- and middleincome taxpayers in the community.]

The Lane Center’s signature project, Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table (AMKT), is the visible expression of Wesleyan’s mission to teach young women to use all that is within them to serve others.

Aunt Maggie’s provides support to the families of Anthony Homes, the Macon Housing Authority’s largest federally funded community. Through the work of Aunt Maggie’s, families have benefited from after-school tutoring, Saturday School, field trips, cultural programs, classes for parents, community meals and celebrations, and referrals to other free or low cost resources like health services and GED preparation.

To prepare for the annual AMKT Christmas toy drive, servant leaders work for months soliciting and collecting new toys and gifts. For Christmas 2018, donations of gift items and cash for gift purchases totaled more that $6,5000. In early December, AMKT parents were invited to a shopping event where they could purchase items for their children at deeply discounted prices; most items were $2 or less. Parents were able to present the gifts to their children on Christmas morning or at a time of their own choosing. The goal was for parents to be empowered and engaged in the process, not just watching from the sidelines as AMKT staff gave presents to their children. All funds collected from the parents’ purchases are rolled back into Aunt Maggie’s for programming initiatives. Families were also invited to a Christmas party featuring Santa Claus and a secret Santa Shop where children could select complimentary gifts to give their parents and make their own Christmas cards and cookies.

Servant Leader Abbie Price ’19, who headed the drive said, “We almost sold out to parents in record time, but a few toys were left. We brought those back to Wesleyan and set up a shop for our students to purchase toys for their younger siblings at deeply discounted rates. The toys sold out within a few minutes. It’s was a wonderful way to perpetuate the cycle of giving and also boost the esteem of those on a limited budget who want to give.”

Each semester, The Lane Center sponsors WOW! A Day for service in the Macon community. The fall event

this year was in partnership with the Fuller Center for Housing of Macon and brought 150 volunteers together to rehab several homes and beautify surrounding neighborhoods. Macon’s Fuller Center is a local partner of the national Fuller Center for Housing, an affordable housing nonprofit working in 60 U.S. cities and 17 nations throughout the world. The Macon organization works to repair and rehabilitate owner-occupied homes for families who, due to economic circumstances, cannot otherwise afford a simple, decent, and affordable home. Students learned skills like how to “cut in” before rolling

outside. AMKT takes advantage of events offered by The Confucius Institute at Wesleyan College like the annual Dragon Boat Festival Camp. Wesleyan’s nursing faculty and students provide periodic health presentations to the children of Aunt Maggie’s, including a recent lesson on self-care. Wesleyan’s chapter of Beta Beta Beta, a national biology honor society, along with servant leaders, provided a Friday night of science fun for AMKT students helping them make rain clouds in a cup, ice cream in ziplock bags, and Halloween “slime.”

Stratford Academy has partnered with Aunt Maggie’s for a number of

They built important relationships with each other, the homeowners, and the community. I am so proud of our students and of our college that ensures students receive the educational and leadership tools to equip them far beyond the four-year Wesleyan experience.”

In addition to working with the Macon Housing Authority and the Fuller Center, The Lane Center partners with a host of other nonprofit entities as well as campus groups. Wesleyan students have worked with The Freedom Commons in producing videos, later sent to members of Congress, to raise awareness of human trafficking and forced labor.

The Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences has partnered with The Lane Center for a number of special experiences, most recently for an after-hours evening in the planetarium where the children of AMKT learned about stars and the solar system and used telescopes to view the stars

STEM activities. This fall the children of AMKT spent their Saturday School afternoon with a fifth grade class focusing on 3D printing and Osmo.

Lane Center Board Member Eleanor Adams Lane ’58 said, “Linda Lane, my sister-in-law for whom the Lane Center is named and who taught piano at Wesleyan for years, and my husband, Bill, wanted women who attend Wesleyan College to graduate with a strong voice and a willingness and desire to serve and help others.

My thanks to all who have worked together to make this goal a reality and for giving their time, talents, and resources. We all have learned that if we work and play together, we can help create a better world for everyone.”

In the next several pages of WESmag, you’ll read the stories of a few of Wesleyan’s extraordinary servant leaders. These exceptional students and alumnae work selflessly to improve the lives of others.

WESLEYAN AND HER PEOPLE

EMPOWER ME Y i n “ Ve c t o r ” Hu a n g ’ 1 9

Guangzhou University dual-degree student Yin “Vector” Huang ’19 transferred to Wesleyan full-time after her sophomore year for many reasons including the beautiful and peaceful campus, nice people, and patient professors. “I learned a lot at Wesleyan. I have so many opportunities to pursue my ambitions. I’ve built my confidence here. Wesleyan and her people empower me.”

Growing up in China, Vector’s family encouraged volunteer work. During high school summers she served as a counselor at youth camps and tutored neighborhood children in English and music. At Wesleyan, Vector was drawn to The Lane Center because she wanted to learn more about servant leadership and what she could do to help others. Working with children at Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table was Vector’s first volunteer experience in the U.S. This fall, she planned WOW! A Day, organizing more than 150 student volunteers, and making sure the event ran smoothly.

Part of her regular volunteer work includes performance on her guzheng (Chinese zither), a traditional Chinese instrument

with a history of more than 2,500 years.

Vector has been playing for almost fifteen years, has performed at many major community functions, nursing homes, and churches, and is repeatedly asked to return.

According to Jill Amos ’87, “During the summer Vector single-handedly assisted me in preparing for our outreach camp serving more than thirty children from Aunt Maggie’s. She managed all the preparatory tasks and facilitated all the events, managing hiccups as they developed.”

Vector has volunteered more than 300 hours as a servant leader and earned the Louise Frederick Hays Scholarship for Service.

This psychology major and music minor works in the office of disability and advocacy services, is active with the Confucius Institute at Wesleyan College, serves on The Lane Center leadership committee, and is a member of D.A.N.C.E. and Psi Chi. Vector intends to go to graduate school to study counseling psychology so she can “learn to help more people in need.”

SUCCESSFUL WOMEN ARE

MADE HERE Ab b i e P r i c e ’ 1 9

A first generation college student, Abbie Price ’19 is a biology major from Wildwood, Georgia, who believes deep in her soul that serving others is what she is meant to do.

When she first arrived on campus fall of 2015, Abbie decided not to volunteer at The Lane Center for fear she would become so involved that her grades would slip.

However, when the servant leadership application came out during her second semester, she knew it was time to join. “I love leading projects because I know my work is going to benefit another person.”

According to Jill Amos ’87, Abbie usually doubles the number of service hours required of servant leaders. She serves on the leadership committee and leads Wow! A Day projects and, this year, headed the Aunt Maggie’s Christmas toy drive. During her time as a servant leader, Abbie has served more than 400 hours. For her outstanding service work, Abbie earned the Louise Frederick Hays Scholarship and the Ethel Moore Roberts Scholarship.

The recipient of a full-tuition scholarship, Abbie is a member of Wesleyan College Premedical Society, Council on Judicial Affairs, and Beta Beta Beta honor society.

She also works as an ambassador in the office of admission and has worked in the office for institutional advancement for four years. According to Whitney Davis, director of annual giving, “Abbie has been a dedicated member of our team since she enrolled at Wesleyan in 2015. She balances two work-study positions with her academic coursework and community service, and she is always willing to help beyond her regular hours. We are so grateful for the many ways she serves the Wesleyan community.”

In June, Abbie took the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and is in the process of applying to medical schools. Her career goal is to work at primary healthcare clinics in rural areas that cater to the underserved.

“I intend on working closely with hospital managers to ensure affordable healthcare for all patients and I hope that one day I will open my own clinic.”

THE NEED FOR

SERVICE IS UNIVERSAL Rachel Solomon ’20

A Macon Meals On Wheels event Rachel Solomon ’20 planned as vice president of her high school’s chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA) involved delivering handmade Valentine’s Day cards to the elderly. “It was a transformative experience. It taught me that the need for service is universal across all ages, religions, and cultures.”

Arriving on Wesleyan’s campus a few months later, Rachel found herself immediately drawn to The Lane Center and the volunteer projects that awaited her. “I wasn’t familiar yet with everything The Lane Center did, but I liked that it was committed to many different types of projects so all servant leaders could work in areas that pique their interests.” Rachel’s first project was the Aunt

8

Maggie’s Christmas party.

“I was fascinated and inspired by the time and effort servant leaders put into making sure those children had a great Christmas.”

Rachel’s high school FFA experience continues to reverberate through her work with Aunt Maggie’s. “The children come from the same community, but they are diverse and unique in their own special ways.” She loves seeing the gleam in their eyes when they accomplish a goal with which they had been struggling. “That moment of discovery is everything to them and they show it by hugging or saying thank you.

Seeing them happy and proud makes it all worthwhile.”

In addition to her service work of more than 300 hours,

Rachel is involved with Black Student Alliance and the math club, and serves as a Junior Marshal, a Writing Center tutor, and vice president of Alpha Lamba Delta. She also works at Geico in a job that resulted from an internship she held as a high school senior involved in the Youth Apprenticeship Program.

As the granddaughter of Dyleane Tolbert Taylor ’72, Lane Center Board Member and one of Wesleyan’s “First Five,” the first African American students to graduate from Wesleyan, Rachel is the proud recipient of a Legacy Scholarship and is majoring in advertising and marketing communication and double minoring in history and finance.

LEADING BY

EXAMPLE Na t a l i e S t a l l w o r t h ’ 2 1

Growing up as the eldest of eleven home-schooled children, Natalie Stallworth ’21 learned the importance of servant leadership at an early age. Helping others and respecting their needs comes as naturally to her as breathing.

“I think I feel drawn to help others, at least in part because I’m a big sister. I have grown up taking care of my siblings and watching my parents put us first.

My parents have always stressed the importance of compassion and empathy and leading by example.”

Before Wesleyan, Natalie’s service work included volunteering at vacation Bible school and with her church’s youth group.

10 6

Natalie’s Faith and Service Leadership Scholarship requires her to serve 100 hours per year with The Lane Center. She has already doubled the number of hours required. “I love what The Lane Center does. I love children and putting together events that benefit the Macon community.

Participating in those events lets me see that we are making a difference.” After one year of service, Natalie was selected to serve on The Lane Center leadership committee.

According to Jill Amos ’87, “Natalie spent almost every day last year in The Lane Center learning about our programs, helping with tasks, and absorbing all

she could. She loves giving in whatever form she can and looks for ways to make lasting differences.”

In addition to being a servant leader, Natalie serves on the Campus Activities Board and works in the Writing Center and in the admissions office.

As an English major, Natalie’s future goals range from marketing to writing to teaching. “One of the reasons I chose the English major is that it is so versatile. There is a potential career in virtually any field.

Right now my main goals are to write and go to graduate school.”

I’VE ALWAYS LOVED

HELPING PEOPLE

Mornjae Dison ’21 Throughout her first year on campus, Mornjae Dison ’21 worked with The Lane Center as a servant leader, taking part in almost every opportunity that came her way. “Working with children through Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table (AMKT) and helping others in the community are my favorite things to do. In August I was so grateful to be invited to join The Lane Center’s leadership committee. I take my role as a leader very seriously and will do my best to work with the other members to expand and improve our Lane Center community.”

A new committee member working to build her service hours, Mornjae has earned more than 100 hours since August.

12

According to Mornjae, the leadership committee prepares for big events such as Wow! A Day and the AMKT toy drive. “We all work together as one unit to make the events as functional and organized as possible. We strive to be examples by helping others understand that certain tasks can be opportunities to make this world a better and happier place for everyone. One small act of kindness can change the world.”

Mornjae has shared her servant leadership skills in many ways, including driving students to and from the Pride Festival in Atlanta, helping children learn about artwork and space at the Museum

of Arts and Sciences, and volunteering at the Ocmulgee Festival.

Mornjae says her mom is her biggest motivator. “She is always helping somebody with something. She has inspired me to do and be the very best I can at everything I do, even if the work is a bit more difficult than expected.”

A biology major and music minor (and a Wesleyanne), Mornjae’s career plans are to work with animals.

In particular, she hopes to “serve as the head caretaker of animals at a zoo and travel around the world to work with wildlife, including aquatic and marine animals.”

COMMITTED TO

SERVING Arizona White ’03 / MBA ’08

Arizona Williams White ’03, Wesleyan EMBA graduate ‘08, real estate broker, marketing specialist, community volunteer, and mother of four boys, has committed herself to serving Macon-Bibb County to make it a better community for all who live here.

Dr. Catherine Meeks, former Wesleyan faculty member and the first director of Wesleyan’s Lane Center for Service and Leadership, instilled in Arizona a strong desire for servant leadership. Arizona recalls, “I vividly remember sitting in Dr. Meeks’ classes and feeling a fire inside of me that burned to make a difference in the lives of others. Often, I would find tears rolling from my eyes because I was so motivated, so passionate, and so eager to conquer the world in a positive way.”

Today, Arizona chairs the Pan African Festival of Georgia, which celebrates African and African-American cultural diversity and their influences in our communities. She serves as a board member for two Macon organizations: Campus Clubs, a youth organization and Christ-centered ministry, and Community Partnership, a Georgia Family Connection Collaborative to address challenges facing Georgia families. In 2016, Arizona founded the Phoenix Project designed to inspire, empower, equip, and transform women and girls through conferences, workshops, and outreach opportunities. She is also an associate minister at New Hope Baptist Church.

As author of The Virtuous Woman System, Arizona designed a plan for women who are always on the go, much like she is. Her system helps women plan their lives while maximizing every moment of the day.

“I am committed to serving and playing whatever role I can to propel Macon-Bibb County to the next level. I am passionate about entrepreneurship, as well as economic and community development. I hope to make a difference in those areas.”

Arizona was recently named one of Macon Magazine’s 2018 “5 under 40” for her countless contributions to promoting local entrepreneurship and economic and community development.

INVESTING INA s hYOUTH lee Day ’14

Ashlee Day ’14 from Snellville, Georgia, (sister Faith is Class of 2013), says she does not think she would have ended up living in Tacoma, Washington, if she had not participated in Wesleyan’s 2013 Summer Leadership Institute. “That trip took me the farthest west I had ever been in my life - to the Black Hills in South Dakota and Wyoming. It planted the seed for moving out west and living by myself.”

Ashlee moved to Tacoma in the fall of 2014 to start her term with AmeriCorps, serving Peace Community Center (PCC), the organization where she now works.

AmeriCorps is a national program that places people with organizations that support community projects such as after school programs, environmental education, and environmental stewardship. Peace Community Center, based in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood, is a nonprofit that serves students from second grade through postsecondary. PCC supports and encourages youth who are historically underrepresented in college to cultivate their academic and leadership talents, enabling them to gain full access to educational opportunities and to reach their full potential. Part of PCC’s vision is to have their students give back to their own communities.

As program manager for civic engagement and evaluation at PCC, Ashlee’s primary role is to lead a team of fourteen young adults who are completing a term of service in the community. Working with Washington Service Corps, an organization that places

AmeriCorps members throughout the state of Washington, Ashlee supports the personal needs and professional development of her team members. This involves leading, training, providing one-on-one guidance, and helping her team make decisions about their next professional steps.

“What makes this all worthwhile is knowing that investing in youth is an investment in our country’s future. I feel happy knowing that the young people we serve at Peace Community Center are going to be part of making our world a better place for all people.”

Ashlee recruits for the community volunteer program at PCC, leads orientations, and supports volunteer coordinators. She also manages and evaluates program data and reports it to the appropriate authorities.

Ashlee says Wesleyan helped challenge her opinion of what it means to be a leader and how to use one’s voice for good.

“I was given the opportunity to interact with people and ideas that pushed me to consider my own values. I had to learn what I believed and what I wanted to stand for moving forward.” She gives special thanks to Dr. Pat Pritchard, Alumnae Chair of Education, who helped her expand her understanding of how education can make a profound difference in people’s lives. “Dr. Pritchard opened my eyes to how learning is more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is about the whole person. My continued work in educational settings that support students outside of the traditional academic subjects reflects those beliefs.”

promoting GENDER E Diep Nguyen ’14

After graduating from Wesleyan with a degree in international relations, Diep Nguyen ’14 moved to Geneva, Switzerland, to pursue a master’s degree in international development at The Graduate Institute of International and Developmental Studies. In her second year of graduate school, she moved to Paris, France, to do research with a professor from Sciences Po Paris.

Sciences Po is an international research university that ranks among the world’s finest institutions in the fields of humanities and social 16

sciences. In 2016, while still in Paris, she graduated from the program.

While in Paris, Diep taught English as a private tutor and spent much of her time volunteering as a fundraising coordinator at the nonprofit SOS Help, the city’s only English-speaking crisis helpline. She also married Adrien Emery, whom she met in 2013 while studying abroad through the Irish-American Scholarship direct exchange program between Wesleyan and Queen’s University Belfast.

In 2017, after ten years abroad, Diep moved back to her hometown, Hanoi, Viet Nam, to begin her career as a gender program officer at UN Women Viet Nam. UN Women is part of the United Nations “Delivering as One” initiative in Viet Nam. The organization leads the UN’s advocacy to further promote gender equality by enhancing women’s economic empowerment; ending violence against women and girls; improving women’s access to justice; and making gender equality a key part of the national legal framework, policies, and plans.

“I am extremely honored to be involved in projects battling gender-based violence in youth and especially in the LGBTQIA community. Recently, I have been engaged in the drafting of and policy advocacy for the Gender Affirmation Law that is underway in Viet Nam. This is a massive effort by a handful of UN agencies spearheaded by UN Women and numerous civil society organizations. I am nothing but proud to be a part of something so meaningful.�

Diep also started and now chairs a French club at the UN. Members come from different UN agencies once every week to practice speaking the language and share innovative ideas.

A SENSE OF OBLIGATION Allyssa Green ’06

WALLACE HUDSON ’15

After graduating with a double major in women’s studies and psychology, Wallace earned a master’s degree in women and gender studies at Arizona State University, and then began a career at one•n•ten, a nonprofit in Phoenix that provides services to LGBTQ youth in Arizona.

Today, Wallace works as one•n•ten’s training and satellite program specialist, facilitating both in-person and online support groups for LGBTQ youth, and serves as the liaison for one•n•ten’s satellite programs.

Wallace also volunteers with GLSEN Phoenix, a non profit that helps make K-12 schools safe for LGBTQ students, by providing professional development and preparedness of the GLSEN facilitators.

“Wesleyan gave me the tools I need to succeed in my professional life.

Although my trajectory has shifted substantially since I graduated from Wesleyan, the wide array of skills I obtained, particularly critical thinking, along with the ability to challenge myself and my beliefs, has helped me to set and meet new goals, no matter where my career takes me. Further, Wesleyan instilled in me a sense of obligation to serve my community, and it is this obligation that drives me to give back and help others.”

LIVING BEYOND A LABEL Allyssa Green ’06

ALLYSSA GREEN ’06 graduated from

Wesleyan with a degree in psychology and a calling to serve others. Studying psychology helped develop her interest in behavioral health, and involvement in the Wesleyan Disciples program helped her explore her interest in ministry. She also gained valuable experience through an internship with the United Methodist Children’s Home, where she served with the chaplain and in a residential placement with boys ages 6-12.

After finishing her degree at Wesleyan, she earned her master’s degree in special education from Georgia College and State University. She has worked as a behavior technician, behavior specialist, and, since 2012, a special education teacher.

Drawing from her own experiences with cerebral palsy, Allyssa says that working with individuals with disabilities is part of her calling. “Teaching special education is one way I help students know they can live beyond the label placed on them. In my own experience, I have always strived to not focus on the label of my diagnosis or the expectations that society might place on me.”

18

Through her work in behavioral health, Allyssa saw firsthand how a person’s faith journey can be a positive influence in his or her treatment, causing her to enroll at Gammon Theological Seminary. Her coursework prepared her for leadership roles in several United Methodist churches and across the denomination. She says that Reverend Bill Hurdle (Wesleyan chaplain 1998-2014 and founder of Wesleyan Disciples) was a great resource as she began working in the church.

Allyssa has worked in children’s ministries, as a special needs coordinator, and has served on the United Methodist Committee on Disabilities. She has presented at the American Academy of Religion annual meeting as a panelist discussing racial and disability justice and was selected as a speaker for the 2018 UMC LEAD conference, an event centered on leadership, worship, mission, and innovation.

Allyssa is looking forward to returning to seminary at either Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary or Duke Divinity School. She currently teaches grades K-2 at Lake Wylie Elementary in Charlotte, NC.

MAKING AN

IMPACT S h e i l a Wa l t o n ’ 1 3

SHEILA WALTON ’13 entered Wesleyan as

a pre-med major but during her sophomore year discovered her real passion was helping women and children who have been displaced by social injustices, so she switched her major from biology to human service management. According to Sheila, her academic advisor Dr. Brooke BennettDay and business professor Dr. Glenna Meyer were instrumental influences in her decision. “When I realized I didn’t want to continue down the pre-med path, I re-evaluated my interests. I thought being a doctor was the only way I could help people, but experiences in my business and psychology classes directed me toward nonprofit management.

I enjoyed the creativity required to think of different ways to pull resources together to address a social issue.”

After graduation, Sheila joined AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps. She worked 1,700 hours for the program and qualified for the Congressional Service Award. “A typical day began at 5am with one hour of physical training, then making breakfast, packing lunch and snacks for the day, and loading into the team van by 7am to arrive at our work site by 8am. However, each project was different. When I was in Death Valley Desert on a wilderness restoration project, my team would drive up to four hours to our work site. We’d hike 1.5 miles up a mountain to collect and clean up airplane shrapnel and rake out vehicle tracks, and hike back down the mountain to dump the shrapnel out of our backpacks. Then we’d hike back up and do it again.”

After graduating from AmeriCorps in July 2014, Sheila began working at Covenant House, the largest privately funded agency in the Americas.

Covenant House provides shelter, food, immediate crisis care, and an array of other services to homeless and runaway youth. She began as an executive administrative assistant and now works as executive coordinator in the office of the president. Among other duties, she works closely with the operations team, program operations team, and human resources department on various projects. “I’ve always wanted to help families facing the challenges of homelessness. Covenant House has been my dream job. There is so much

complexity to addressing homelessness and so many intersectional issues. We see the impact of our work with each young person that enters our shelter doors. Every night 2,000 young people are sleeping under a Covenant House roof. Knowing that we have a bed available for a young person in New York, Guatemala, Berkley, or Vancouver keeps me coming back each day.”

Currently Sheila is in her first semester at Pace University in New York City working toward her master’s degree in human resources management.

ENCOURAGING STUDENTS As executive director of the Mentor’s Project of Bibb County, June Jordan O’Neal ’90 works sixty-hour weeks to make a difference in the lives of middle and high school students enrolled in the project. June says that there is no “typical day at the office” for her. When a school calls with a student in crisis, she is out the door and doesn’t return until the situation is resolved.

The Mentors Project, established in 1990 for the purpose of encouraging students to remain in high school through graduation, pairs successful adults with at-risk students from Bibb County public high schools and middle schools. In addition to providing one-on-one and group mentoring for these students, or

HOPE FOR MULTI-FAITH UNDERSTANDING

Since her retirement as a school psychologist, Margaret Mathews ’73 divides her time between volunteering, creating art, and traveling.

An active layperson in the United Methodist Church, her membership is at Trinity UMC in Warner Robins, Georgia, where she teaches and leads various classes and groups. Margaret is an associate at Green Bough House of Prayer, an intentional spiritual community in south Georgia. As a founding member of the Women’s Interfaith Alliance of Central Georgia (WIA), she has seen the realization of her lifelong hope for multi-faith understanding.

Following the 9/11 terrorist attack, Trinity UMC, led by the Reverend Bill Bagwell, began a study of Islam, and Imam Adam Fofan, from The Islamic Center, was invited to speak to the class, sparking a personal

The WIA, now in its ninth year, has grown from a handful of women to as many as 80 active participants who are attempting to carry out the group’s mission statement: “We believe that people who live out their faith are positive contributors to their communities. We hope to promote understanding, respect, prayer, interaction, and unity among the various faiths in Central Georgia through education, dialogue, and service.”

friendship between the pastor and the imam. Later, Trinity was invited to The Islamic Center for an open house.

Several women who attended, including Margaret, saw the possibilities for building relationships and deepening understanding by continuing to get together. The group, comprising Jewish, Christian, and Muslim women, which began with monthly meetings hosted by various faith groups who provided meals, now meets monthly for a potluck meal and program in one of a number of Central Georgia places of worship.

The Women’s Interfaith Alliance developed as the result of a friendship between Trinity United Methodist Church in Warner Robins and The Islamic

The activities of WIA, however, include much more than the monthly meeting. They have included in-depth studies of each faith’s holy books as well

as a study of mysticism in the Abrahamic faiths. Members have participated in a prayer retreat and have provided community-wide interfaith panels and speakers at various churches, colleges, and civic groups. Margaret has been part of Wesleyan’s WALL program (Wesleyan Academy of Lifelong Learning) as an instructor for a course entitled “Daughters of Abraham: Peace Comes Through Understanding.”

She was one of two representatives of WIA who gave a presentation about the story of that group at the Wild Goose Festival, an annual festival of art, music, and stories grounded in faithinspired social justice in North Carolina.

Service, an important component of all the Abrahamic faiths, is naturally part of the WIA. Service projects have included providing snack sacks for nutritionally challenged school children; “chill kits” (socks, gloves, scarves, etc.) for the homeless; and clothing and personal items for refugees. Small group activities like service projects and book groups provide opportunities for friendship and community building among the women of WIA, who are a living testament to the transformational power of understanding, education, and shared values.

STUDENTS HELPING STUDENTS SUCCEED arc

Wesleyan College is committed to women’s education and to helping each student find her own unique voice and purpose. Often that voice or purpose is found by helping others. Through participating in a variety of programs on campus overseen by the Academic Resource Center (ARC), including ARC mentors and tutors, the new biology T3 sessions, major ambassadors, and the Center for Career Development’s career peer mentors, Wesleyan students are helping one another succeed.

According to Latasha Andre, academic resource center director, “By focusing on peer-led initiatives like the tutoring and major ambassadors programs, we strengthen academic mentorship and give students something to aspire to. The Academic Resource Center has had tremendous success with both, and we’ve seen an increase in participation and a great enthusiasm for collaboration.”

The ARC provides free academic counseling and tutoring for students who seek to improve understanding of course content and academic success skills. Peer tutors are prepared to assist students by using academic success strategies such as reviewing class materials, discussing past tests, working on sample problems, and preparing for exams. Biology’s new T3 sessions are meant to support the large first-year population of biology students. Upper-level students with a strong understanding of the material facilitate tutoring sessions for introductory biology students to provide a more peer-friendly learning environment.

Biology Professor Dr. Holly Boettger-Tong said, “During fall semester, T3 sessions were held during the day, in the evening, and on Saturdays to support both residential and commuter students.

This initiative served approximately 70 students enrolled in three sections of BIO 110. Students reported that these sessions helped them to

24

better understand the material and also assisted in improving their study habits.”

Anna Marmolejo Rios ‘20, neuroscience and psychology double major and T3 tutor, said, “Sometimes, it helps to discuss complex subjects like biology with someone in addition to the professors.

Talking through concepts also helps them stick.”

Biology and economics double major Ugochi Emerole ‘19 added, “Studies show that you learn better when you teach someone. By teaching other students, I am able to better retain information I learned the previous year.”

Through ARC, students can meet with a major ambassador. The Major Ambassador program, new this fall, consists of Wesleyan students who have excelled academically and are involved in campus and community activities. Nominated by faculty to represent a specific major, major ambassadors are responsible for meeting with first-year students who are considering a major, supporting outreach and major declaration initiatives, and providing strong student support at events such as “Declaration Day,” major-specific events, convocations, and other recognition ceremonies.

Another way students are supporting one another’s success is through the Center for Career Development’s Career Peer Mentor (CPM) program.

Career peer mentors are upper-level students specially trained to review students’ resumes and cover letters. By advising and educating students and providing project and programming assistance, the mentors serve as a vital link between students and career development staff.

“I have loved my experience as a CPM because not only have I been able to work with other students on their career development, but I have grown exponentially in my own development,” said Laura Harness ‘19.

D.A.N.C.E. for Inclusivity Continuing its efforts towards inclusivity for all students, Wesleyan has welcomed to campus a new club named D.A.N.C.E. (Disability Awareness Nurturing Common Education). The purpose of D.A.N.C.E. is to advocate for disability awareness on campus. The club comprises students with short-term and long-term disabilities and student advocates for those with disabilities and for disability awareness. Open to anyone, D.A.N.C.E. is a place to be a friend, to provide support, to empower, to educate, and to learn. Many students in the club say they have gained a sense of self-awareness that has made it easier to understand the lives of others and, consequently, have found a true sisterhood of friends who are always there for support.

In its first year, D.A.N.C.E. helped to welcome the new office of disability and advocacy services in which Jill Amos ’87 now serves as director. The group advocated for and was pleased when ADA-compliant push plates were installed to open doors in some buildings on campus. This year the group is working with the president’s board for diversity and inclusion and the office of disability and advocacy services on a plan to advance and elevate accessibility efforts on campus.

D.A.N.C.E. is always looking for ways to connect students with campus and outreach services and recently brought a panel of individuals with chronic pain to campus to discuss their journeys. In addition, club members host events like the Snack Shop to help build awareness for the needs and concerns of people with disabilities. Held outside of the Hurdle Cafe during lunch, each Snack Shop highlights a different disability and D.A.N.C.E. club members hand out pertinent information.

D.A.N.C.E. President Renee Gable ’20 said, “This year we’ve shifted our focus to handing out free snacks and having indepth conversations. We have found that students enjoy talking and asking questions.” Response has been positive.

Many students have expressed their interest in receiving more

information and have shared personal stories about themselves or family members who suffer from a disability.

Named in honor of a former student, “Project Shelby” is a flexible buddy program for those who need and who can provide support. Support can come in many different forms - it can be as simple as helping someone catch the elevator, holding the door, providing a ride to a meeting or event, or just lending a listening ear to someone who is going through a 28

difficult time. Jamie Thames, director of counseling services, has coached students to look for certain signs and indicators when guiding someone who is requesting help. Gable said, “Reaching out to a fellow student with these five words ‘how can I help you?’ might be the difference in someone having a really great day or a really bad day.” Project Shelby is an allinclusive program for every student at Wesleyan. Anyone with a need for support or with a desire to help can contact project coordinator Olivia

Young ’21, and she will pair individuals accordingly.

D.A.N.C.E. is offering shadow programs for its younger members who will be continuing the program in years to come. The executive committee acknowledges President Vivia Fowler, Jill Amos, and Jamie Thames for being D.A.N.C.E.’s biggest advocates.

EQUINE-ASSISTED THERAPY Fall semester 2017, Wesleyan introduced equine-assisted therapy as a new minor in the College’s curriculum. Through equine-assisted therapy, a mental health professional, an equine specialist, and one or more horses work together to help the client overcome challenges affecting their mental health. Wesleyan’s program is based on a model developed by the international nonprofit organization Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA), offering an alternative solution to psychotherapy. Unlike traditional mental health counseling, the EAGALA model involves less talking and

more action and observation.

Clients can reflect and process without having to say a word.

and the other half in the arena, getting hands-on experience with the horses.

Equine-assisted therapy has been around for about two decades, and the field is growing. It can help with conditions like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The approach is typically short-term and solution-focused. After six to 12 weeks, clients are usually ready to move on.

Jung, who also practices traditional psychotherapy, thinks equine-assisted therapy is the most effective form of mental health counseling she’s ever used. She got her EAGALA certification about 18 years ago and has seen firsthand the lifechanging impact it has had on her clients.

Wesleyan’s program is taught by mental health counselor Susan Jung. Jung and her students spend about half of their time in the classroom

“I think people don’t realize how effective this work can be.

Horses can create a ‘mirror’ for the client’s emotions and help them sort through many of their issues.”

Jung once watched a child stand paralyzed in the arena, unsure of how to create an obstacle course, as Jung had asked her to do. “All of the sudden, the horse came over and started moving things around the arena, and then went back and stood by the child,” Jung said. “The child looked back at me and said, ‘I guess I should ask for help more often,’ and that was her learning for the day.”

Special thanks to Samantha Max and The Telegraph.

“I always feel less stressed and more centered after the sessions. It really reinforces the idea behind the therapy.”

INVALUABLE RESOURCES AND GREAT EXPERIENCES Because every student is required to complete at least one professional development experience or internship through Wesleyan’s four-year From Here to Career program, six Wesleyan students held internships during the summer at the newly renovated Mill Hill Community Arts Center (MHCAC). The center, located in Macon’s historic Fort Hawkins neighborhood (founded in 1823), served as a community gathering space in the 1920s.

After a recent $1.6 million renovation, it once again hosts performing, visual, and culinary arts exhibitions, and serves as a hub for the community, offering both free and paid creative classes and workshops.

Led by former Wesleyan artist-in-residence Jeni Hansen-Gard and her husband Forrest, Wesleyan interns worked all summer to develop, advertise, and teach classes at the center. They also assisted with event preparation, arts administration, exhibition curating, and grant writing.

Summer class offerings included dance/ 30

ballet, painting, clay, sewing, hand knitting, and creative writing. Plus special DIY natural health and audition workshops.

English major Sharmaine Fisher ‘19 led a creative writing workshop for people aged 14 and up. “We covered everything from researching and word-building to plotting and pacing. I picked up a few skills myself, like how to run a Facebook business page, which could be useful in my next job. My internship at Mill Hill inspired me to direct my writing and art skills towards teaching, guiding others, and planning creative events. Also, I learned that providing a service for the community is something I love to do.”

Sofia Ramirez ‘19, a double major in art history and studio art, applied for an internship at Mill Hill to learn about nonprofit arts administration and community centers. Ramirez worked closely with Hansen-Gard to learn how a community arts center functions. Her tasks

included art installation, assisting a teacher during a class, teaching a workshop, facilitating thematic group meetings, and program scheduling.

“Through this internship, I learned about interacting with artists in a professional way. I also learned about organizing, creating timelines and budgets, and bringing people together. This was a very hands-on internship that focused on learning by doing,” said Ramirez.

Director of Career Development Sarah Schanck reiterated the importance of the program saying, “In order to develop knowledge and skills that can transfer to the workplace after graduation, we believe it is essential for every student to demonstrate their application through a practical, real-world experience. We are thrilled that our students found such value in this program. Internships like these are invaluable resources for our students.”

MY LIFE’S

GREAT

ADVENTURE

BY SHELLY MARTIN Wesleyan Magazine Winter 2018/2019

I am far stronger than I ever thought I was. And I know that I am no different than you. It’s just a question of what you want to do with your strength, what you want to apply yourself to, what you choose to keep trying.

I’ve never been much of an athlete but I’ve always loved being outside. Over the past several years, I became enchanted with the Appalachian Trail (A.T.), a national treasure 2,190 miles long, running over the mountain peaks from Georgia to Maine.

I did several practice hikes on the A.T., each time trying to decide if I had what it would take to hike the entire trail and become a “thru-hiker.”

So, after being awarded a sabbatical to interview other hikers about how their mood was affected by physical hardship and challenge, I was ready to find out. Atticus, my Great Pyrenees dog, and I were #16 to depart for the year from Amicalola Falls on January 21, 2018. Atticus hiked with me for 400 miles until I decided I needed to increase my miles per day to 20 and didn’t want to push him too hard. When I reached the halfway point at Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, I was #55 to check in. And when I completed my hike on August 5 in Maine, I was #255. The trip came to mean so much in my life. It tested my body, my determination, my faith in God, my ability to manage my fears, and my confidence, and strengthened each one. I will never be the same.

My hike became my life’s great adventure, and it was energizing and reinvigorating. We grow up on adventure stories but settle into fairly predictable lives. There is something magical about a walking journey that involves some danger and risk. And always with the goal of hiking every single step of the trail, breathtakingly beautiful, a “road” to Maine, to the finish line, the mountain at the northern terminus, Katahdin. I steeled my resolve against quitting, ready with techniques learned from reading trail journals of successful thru-

32

hikers, like never quit until after a good night’s sleep. But amazingly I was never tempted to quit.

Instead, I started hatching plans to hike more trails in the future, such as the Pacific Crest Trail, before I had even finished.

Being alone on the trail as a 54-year-old woman, I was an unusual demographic, but the A.T. trail community is legend. It is open and accepting, quirky and expansive, and I found myself embraced by the people of the trail. Age was just a number; I was welcomed into friendships with everyone. There are day hikers, section hikers, people making their thru-hike attempt, hiker hostel owners and staff, and trail angels who help the hikers. People write poetry in the trail journals found in the shelters, share information with everyone they pass, and use trail names they are often given by other hikers. My trail name Research was gifted to me by three inspirational, strong hikers I met years ago on a section hike in North

Carolina, women in their 80s with cutting edge hiking gear. I treasure my name as I do the support they gave me. I made close friendships and hiked long sections with No Shoes, with Vinegar, with Sandals, and with Poncho. They will always remain in my life; we exchange texts and follow each other’s lives on Instagram and Facebook. The trail has taught me so many things, and one of the best lessons is to be open to other people, open to meaningful conversations with people I don’t know, open to friendships with people who are different than me in age, in values, in habits, open to trusting strangers who might be generous in helping me with a ride, with information. Being so open has brought me unexpected happiness, and I never want to lose that.

Fear was a frequent companion as I hiked. Fear of being alone in the dark woods, fear of the unknown, fear of dying of hypothermia in the winter or of being hurt in a tumble, and especially fear of heights. My terror of high places was the last fear I conquered. As I hiked, I learned to become at home on the trail. I now feel a sense of peace and belonging in the night woods. I now trust my gear and my skill set and know I can stay safe in bad conditions and not put myself at risk. But I didn’t fully conquer my fear of heights until the last day of my hike, when I climbed Katahdin. The A.T. has a lot of sections where there are boulder scrambles, iron rungs to climb, or ledges to traverse.

And people have fallen and died on that last mountain.

I gradually learned that by facing my fears, and praying for help, really praying, I could object to my fear, fight against it

intentionally, and cast it out. Fear is such a tremendous waste, sapping our strength, stealing our happiness, taking us out of the moment by distracting us with thoughts of unlikely events that could happen in the future.

Because I had to do it over and over, I had practice in noticing my fear and taking steps to reduce it. I got better with practice. But I had grappled with great anxiety that I would get to the rungs at Katahdin and be paralyzed with fear, and it would prevent me from completing the trail. Once I was stuck for 20 minutes on one knee balancing on a narrow ledge, unable to go back or up, until I finally worked up the nerve to precariously stand, remove my pack without losing my balance, push it up ahead of me, and climb up without falling. I had learned that waiting and putting off doing the scary thing didn’t make it less scary. So when I got to those sections of that last spectacular mountain, I literally flung myself at them and climbed up as fast as I could.

I refused to let myself pause and let the fear increase. Reflecting back, I think about all the unneeded worry, the many times I had queried southbound hikers about their experiences in those sections, and the uselessness of it. I had wasted those moments of beauty in that day by obsessing about a day in the future. As I passed by the last precarious section of Katahdin, I reached the Tablelands and realized that I was really going to be a thruhiker. I was filled with such joy and such pride, and I refused to even consider any fear about how I was going to climb back down after my summit. I had learned a valuable lesson.

I will always be Research, and I will always be a thru-hiker. I know now that I am far stronger than I ever thought I was. And I know that I am no different than you. It’s just a question of what you want to do with your strength, what you want to apply yourself to, what you choose to keep trying. And a question of what joy you are willing to open yourself to, by letting yourself be vulnerable.

PICTURE OF CHANGE Revisiting people and places As part of a week-long celebration honoring the inauguration of Dr. Vivia Fowler as Wesleyan’s 25th president, the College hosted an opening reception for Iran: Women Only, an exhibition of photographs by international photojournalist Randy Goodman.

Goodman’s work was on display in the Cowles Myles Collier East and West Galleries through December 14th.

Randy Goodman’s first trip to Iran was during the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1980 when she traveled with a small delegation of graduate students, a rarefied assignment for a budding photojournalist.

In 1981, she returned with two colleagues on an exclusive assignment for CBS-TV News—then, the only American journalists credentialed to work in that country. Her third assignment in Iran came in 1983 for TIME magazine, when she toured the Iran-Iraq war zone wearing a borrowed chador, covered breaking news, and photographed Ayatollah Khomeini.

34 32

During that period, Goodman navigated her way across the war-torn country in search of the indefinable images that would help bring understanding to what was the enigma of Iran.

To produce this exhibit, Goodman returned to Iran in 2015 to revisit people and places she had photographed decades earlier. Her portraits and street scenes of women from both periods capture the sweeping socio-cultural changes symbolized by dramatic shifts in dress and in lifestyle.

Her black and white photographs of the early 1980s reflect the conservative values and traditions in the country. In contrast, her color images of present-day Iran show women openly testing the boundaries of the Islamic Republic’s social norms. Even the slightest repositioning of the head scarves further back on the head, leaving more hair exposed, is a symbol of some women pushing for change.

Goodman’s portraits show lives of today’s Iranian women and their playful spirits doing ordinary things like shopping, recording videos on smartphones, painting their nails, and wearing colorful clothing.

In a black and white photo from 1983, two young girls, their heads covered by black and white hajibs, cover their mouths bashfully as they giggle. In contrast, a 2015 color photo portrays twin sisters covered with floral headscarves and smiling broadly.

Goodman’s photographs of Iran have been published in newspapers and magazines throughout the world including in Egypt, France, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Libya, Italy, and Venezuela. She has also captured images in Nicaragua, Grenada, and Cuba, and has served as a freelance photographer for United Press International and Gamma Liaison Photo News Agency (now Getty Images). She is currently writing a memoir of her Iran experiences.

Wesleyan soccer field renovated thanks to $400,000 gift Wesleyan’s soccer field has been completely renovated thanks to a generous donation from long-time Wesleyan donor Nancy Panoz of Duluth, Georgia. The $400,000 renovation project, part of Wesleyan’s Fast Forward Campaign, involved scraping the old field to level it, installing irrigation and drainage features, adding appropriate soils to enhance drainage, and sodding the entire area. The new soccer field is now named Panoz Field.

Wesleyan is indebted to Nancy Panoz for her generosity in supporting college initiatives

since 2000. Nancy received an honorary degree (doctor of commercial science) from Wesleyan in 2003.

The Wesleyan family extends sympathy to Nancy and the Panoz family on the death of her husband, Dr. Donald Panoz, on September 11, 2018. Panoz was a well-known American entrepreneur in the fields of pharmaceuticals, hospitality industry, and motorsports.

Together, Nancy and Don were exceptional business partners and were happily married for sixtythree years.

Wesleyan adopts new theme to promote sisterhood on campus Over the last year, Wesleyan faculty, staff, students, and alumnae have worked together to address issues surrounding student traditions. In an effort to establish new traditions that help students bond with one another and with the College, Wesleyan launched new sisterhood initiatives in the fall using the theme “One Wesleyan. Many Voices. Find Yours.”

These initiatives have two purposes: • Promote activities that unite all Wesleyan undergraduate students whether they are full- or part-time, residential or commuter, traditional or nontraditional aged.

• Promote a wellorganized class structure that focuses 36

on leadership, service, and sisterhood.

The One Wesleyan initiative is designed to enhance our students’ experiences and to ensure our campus is inclusive, supportive, and engaging. It will serve as a foundation for Wesleyan’s new culture of community with its commitment to sisterhood.

Sisterhood provides a sense of belonging - a feeling of being at home, even when away from home. Sisterhood at Wesleyan College consists of unique and lasting relationships created through empowering, affirming, and transformative interactions among students. As the deepest type of

friendship, sisterhood is built through sustained connections and shared experiences among fellow students as they seek knowledge, grow into leaders, pursue common goals, and discover themselves.

While the college strives to provide an environment conducive to this type of positive relationshipbuilding, Wesleyannes themselves are also responsible for engaging with each other to create a sisterhood that is supportive, respectful, and loving.

Wesleyannes promote these ideals of life-long sisterhood throughout their time at Wesleyan, and beyond. The bond of sisterhood endures for life.

Wesleyan’s campus extends to the world While studying abroad, students gain new perspectives and an appreciation for different cultures, developing the global knowledge and innovative thinking required of today’s college graduates.

For many years, Wesleyan has enjoyed direct exchange agreements with a network of five colleges in Northern Ireland and with schools in China, South Korea, and Japan. Beginning fall semester 2019, students can also choose an international exchange with Brescia University College, located in London, Ontario, Canada’s only women’s university.

Emily Jarvis, Wesleyan’s director of international programs, explained how learning across borders has become one of the most beneficial learning experiences for college students and the positive impact that this partnership, in particular, could have.

“With Canada’s proximity to the U.S., students can enjoy a full study abroad experience without the great expense or language barrier some other locations present,” Jarvis said. “This exchange adds important geographic diversity to our strong catalog of exchange partnerships. As Canada’s only women’s college, Brescia makes a great match for Wesleyan, the pioneer in women’s education.”

Wesleyan climbing in the ranks Wesleyan College is climbing the ranks in several of the nation’s largest polls. The rankings were all based on a wide array of data and information, including graduation rates, professorto-student ratio, accreditations, and job placement rates.

Princeton Review Green College Wesleyan is one of America’s 399 most environmentally responsible colleges according to The Princeton Review. Schools for this ninth annual edition of its “green guide” were chosen based on data from the company’s 201718 survey of hundreds of four-year colleges concerning commitments to the environment and sustainability. “We strongly recommend Wesleyan to the many environmentally-minded students who seek to study and live at a green college,” said The Princeton Review’s Robert Franek, editor-in-chief.

James Magazine In James Magazine’s 2018 education issue, Wesleyan placed in the top 10 in two categories: Top College and Top Success Rate.

According to Phil Kent, CEO and publisher of James, the magazine researched more criteria than ever before in compiling their school rankings system. As in the past, the staff analyzed U.S. News & World Report among other national and regional ratings, but also looked at other less-discussed metrics including completion rate and freshman retention rate.

U.S. News and World Report According to U.S. News, Wesleyan ranks as one of America’s Best Colleges in four categories: National Liberal Arts Colleges, Least Graduation Debt, Most Diversity, and Most International Students.

U.S. News’ rankings formula uses exclusively statistical quantitative and qualitative measures that education experts have proposed as reliable indicators of academic quality, including excellence as first-year student retention, graduation rates, and the strength of the faculty. In total, U.S. News has collected data on more than 1,800 independently regionally accredited institutions.

The Inauguration of

Dr. Vivia Lawton Fowler The Inauguration of Wesleyan College’s 25th president, Dr. Vivia Lawton Fowler, was held Saturday, October 20th in the Porter Family Memorial Auditorium, following a worship service at Pierce Chapel. Family, friends, faculty, staff, students, alumnae, trustees, and delegates from institutions of higher education gathered to celebrate this special day in Wesleyan’s history.

Several Wesleyan alumnae played key roles in the inauguration ceremony and worship service including Dr. Chenny Gan ’02, Nadine Cheek ’79, Inauguration Composer Amanda S. Jacobs ’84, Reverends Alaina Avera Harrison ’12, Debra Carter Williams ’12, Harriette James Ballard ’64, and Jennifer Stiles Williams ’93, and

Wesleyan College Alumnae Association President Abbie Smoak Lacienski ’01.

The inauguration was preceded by a week-long celebration of special events on campus including a photography exhibit featuring women of Iran by photojournalist Randy Goodman, a faculty research symposium titled Interconnected and Impactful, a concert of American music featuring Wesleyan faculty, and a celebration reception around the fountain on Friday evening.

Fowler assumed her position as president on July 1, 2017, after having served the College for a decade as provost and vice president for academic affairs.

Fowler earned her Ph.D. in psychological and philosophical

foundations of education at the University of South Carolina in 1994, her master’s degree in religion at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, and her bachelor’s degree at Columbia College. Fowler is the first woman ordained minister to serve as president of Wesleyan College.

From Dr. Fowler’s inauguration remarks: “Dare we suggest that a church related, liberal arts college for women is exactly the place to nurture instruments of peace?

That in the classrooms, in the chapel, in The Lane Center, in our residence halls, on the soccer field – we can build a community whose members learn to ‘do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly?’”

WESLEYAN’S CLASS OF 2022:

LARGEST IN 17 YEARS Wesleyan College welcomed her largest first-year class since 2001 and the second largest class since 1976 with over 150 firstyear students and an additional 60 transfer students.

“It is quite an accomplishment for our team to turn enrollment numbers around to this extent in just one year. I’m thankful that we’ve been able to help the College grow its enrollment and I’m hopeful the trend will continue,” said Vice President for Enrollment Clint Hobbs.

Wesleyan’s new students and families were welcomed to campus for PACK Weekend which kicked off with Move-In Day on August 10th. Orientation leaders (OL) who served as guides during Summer Orientation picked up right where they left off by leading teambuilding activities, facilitating programming designed to make the transition to Wesleyan easier, and making sure new students got to their PACK Weekend sessions. This year, the College held Matriculation the same day as Move-In so families could witness this important milestone in their student’s college career.

“Our goal is to make sure our new students feel welcome and part of the Wesleyan community as soon as they step foot on campus. Our orientation leaders have been trained to answer all kinds of questions about Wesleyan, and they look forward to interacting with and assisting our new students during their first days on campus,” said Director of Student Involvement Alex Yancey.

The first week of classes, Welcome Week, was action-packed with programming each night. Activities included trivia night, a campus-wide barbecue, and a mentalist show.

Wesleyan exceeds goal on GA Gives Day On November 27 Wesleyan College participated in the nationally recognized Giving Tuesday and the statewide celebration of Georgia Gives Day. This is a day where people across the country make monetary donations to their favorite nonprofits, including Wesleyan.

It has become a recent tradition for alumnae, friends, parents, staff, faculty, students, and trustees to make gifts to Wesleyan on this day to see how much can be raised in 24 hours. This year the amount was $15,490 and the College placed 9th in the state for number of donors. Sixty alumnae classes were represented.

Gifts will be designated for the renovation of Willet Library. As a special incentive, everyone who made a gift of $50 or more on Giving Tuesday/GA Gives Day will have her/ his name added to a permanent list of donors displayed in the library stacks.

Plans for the second phase of the renovation, which began in December, include a computer lab large enough to accommodate an entire nursing cohort as well as classrooms for collaborative study, individual workstations, and collection stacks.

The addition of a makerspace will give students the opportunity to learn to sew and develop other creative skills and will be a great resource for our art club and newly-formed fashion club.

Center for Career Development hosts professional clothing shop for students Wesleyan’s Center for Career Development (CCD) provides a variety of programs and services to assist students with developing and meeting their career goals. From one-on-one coaching to interactive workshops, staff are committed to student professional development.

CCD staff members noticed that some students were overwhelmed with the idea of shopping for professional clothes.

“They didn’t know what to look for and some were worried about the financial investment,” said Assistant Director of Career Development Stephanie Baugh.

In September, the CCD organized and hosted a pop-up clothing shop for students looking for professional attire to wear on graduate school, job, or internship interviews. Students could select up to three items for free thanks to clothing donations from alumnae, faculty, staff, and community members. More than 600 clothing items were donated and 138 students (including 43 seniors) are now interview-ready.

The pop-up shop format gave students an environment for peer-to-peer feedback on professional looks with assistance from volunteer stylists, including President Fowler, Provost Melody Blake, and Dean of Students Christy Henry.

“I think my favorite part was watching the students stand in front of the mirror and seeing their faces light up as they saw themselves as young professionals for the first time,” said Director of Career Development Sarah Schanck. CCD will host another pop-up shop in the spring and accepts donations of professional clothes, shoes, purses, and accessories year around.

Wesleyan and Mercer University announce 3+3 accelerated JD program Recognizing that certain students have the capacity and readiness to complete their undergraduate education and their law degree training in less than the normally required seven years of study, Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law and Wesleyan College have established a co-operative agreement for a 3+3 accelerated JD program. Qualified students can accelerate their course of study by completing both their undergraduate bachelors degree at Wesleyan and their juris doctor degree at Mercer in approximately six years of full-time study as opposed to the normally required seven years of study.

To apply for the program, Wesleyan students must have completed all college core curriculum, all requirements of their chosen major, a minimum of two and a half years in residence, and at least 90 credit hours. Accepted majors include politics and global studies, English, or any major with a prelaw minor.

Tom Ellington, Wesleyan’s pre-law advisor, will assist students in charting a path for the program. To be eligible for consideration for admission to Mercer School of Law, students must take the LSAT no later than December 31 during their junior year at Wesleyan and must apply to Mercer no later than January 15 of their junior year. Admission also requires a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and a score at or above the median LSAT score of the preceding year’s entering class.

Wesleyan Provost Melody Blake said, “This is an exciting opportunity for Wesleyan students who are interested in studying law. Mercer School of Law recognizes that the liberal arts grounding of a Wesleyan education provides exceptional preparation for Wesleyan students to be successful in law school.”

Students tackle religion in the digital age The religion and society course was taught from a different vantage point fall semester at Wesleyan. Taught by Assistant Professor of Religion and Philosophy Dr. Karen Bray, this particular incarnation of religion and society provided students the opportunity to gain insight about how digital and social media has affected traditional ideas and practices of faith.

“Through this course I was looking to introduce students to the theories and methods of sociology, anthropology, and ritual studies so that they may better understand their own cultures, and more deeply encounter and engage in a diversity of cultures both in person and online,” said Bray.

Students learned to analyze and critique the lives they live on social media

“I’ve had some interesting experiences regarding the intersection of religion and digital culture in the past year and I thought this class would help me make sense of that,” said senior Zoe Nuhfer ’19.

One of Bray’s goals for the course was to share with students insights gained from her own research on the political theology of social media as well as research from a network of international scholars of digital theology. platforms. “They will come to understand the rituals they participate in online and what values these rituals uphold or tear down. Once we can see how we are being shaped, we might have the chance to reimagine this ritual process.” Also analyzed was the layout of how social media functions religiously and what sort of religions have arisen in the past twenty years.

Bray’s research areas include continental philosophy of religion; feminist, critical disability, critical race, queer, political, and decolonial theories and theologies; and secularism and the post-secular.

Bray earned a M.Div. at Harvard Divinity School and a Ph.D. in theological and philosophical studies in religion from Drew University.

Name Your Sister seeks help identifying people In an effort to properly document Wesleyan’s online collection of photographs, the College wants to get alumnae and friends involved with identifying people, event locations, and dates for photographs in Wesleyan’s Archives.

The Name Your Sister project came about after Wesleyan’s Archivist Virginia Blake saw similar projects from other archives. History major, Christina Micola von Fürstenrecht ‘18, spent her spring semester as an intern in the Archives where she assisted Blake with the project.

Taking a total of four months from start to finish, they first selected the photographs, then created an identification form for people to fill out, and finally created the online gallery. The gallery was launched during the 2018 Alumnae Weekend.

“This project is important because it means nothing to have photographs with no identification information. By doing this project, not only will we gather information we need to catalog these photographs, but we will also be getting information about the Wesleyan College Archives to people who may not know about it,” said Blake.

42

Alumnae and friends can help by browsing the photographs in the Name Your Sister collection to see if they recognize any of their classmates or friends. There are identification submission instructions at the Name Your Sister site.

The mission of the Wesleyan College Archives is to promote knowledge and understanding of the origins, experiences, programs, and goals of Wesleyan College and its special role in the education of women. Wesleyan College Archives include manuscripts, documents, and artifacts which reflect the history of Wesleyan.

New Faces on Campus Wesleyan recently welcomed Penny Siqueiros as director of athletics and head softball coach, Bobby Moye as vice president for business and finance and CFO, and Dwight Hines as Executive MBA program director and chair of the business department.

Siqueiros brings more than 20 years of successful collegiate softball experience in the southeast and Georgia including at Emory University. Siqueiros coached Emory’s program to four softball World Series, five NCAA regional championships, one NCAA Super Regional title, 16 NCAA Tournament berths, and 11 UAA conference championships. In her career, she has been honored with several awards, including NCAA Division III Regional Coaching Staff of the Year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association in 2002, 2006, 2007, and 2016. She coached and mentored 14 AllAmericans during her time with the Eagles. In January, Siqueiros was selected to represent the NCAA Division III Championship Committee as one of only eight people helping oversee all Division III sports in the United States.

Moye comes to Wesleyan from Oak Hall School in Gainesville, Florida, where he served as chief financial officer overseeing the financial affairs, security, and facilities departments. Prior, Moye was vice president for finance at Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia.

A certified public accountant, Moye began his career in education administration at the independent, secondary school level in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving at institutions including McCallie School and Girls Preparatory School.

Hines comes to Wesleyan from a senior accountant position at Robins Air Force Base, which included duties as a financial analyst and air base wing commander for financial oversight of the Force Support Squadron. Having earned his MBA from Wesleyan in 2012, Hines has served the College as adjunct professor for business and economics since January 2013. Earlier this year, he earned his doctorate in business administration from Argosy University in Atlanta.

Wesleyan introduces 100% online degree program For 182 years, Wesleyan College has offered women an academically challenging and relevant liberal arts education, preparing them to do extraordinary things in their professions and in service to their communities. From the first women who attended classes on the original downtown campus to the graduates of 2018 who studied on the Rivoli campus, Wesleyan students have learned from their professors in traditional classroom settings.

To meet the needs of a changing society, Wesleyan has introduced a new online degree program that provides women the flexibility, convenience, and affordability they need to earn a degree in business or accounting. Also, students who had been attending evening classes on campus are now classified as online program students and can study whenever and wherever they choose. The first cohort of online degree students recruited for the new program are enrolling for spring.

“Wesleyan online is designed with the 21st-century-woman’s needs and goals in mind. We know getting to campus for classes can be a big challenge for women

who are busy working and caregiving. Our new online degree program enables us to draw the Wesleyan circle wider, in support of women who give so much of themselves in all areas of their lives,” said Director of Online Learning and Assistant Professor of English Laura Lease.

With a curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and taught by the same faculty who lead our on-campus classes, online degree courses are eight weeks in length and

offered in five sessions a year so students can attend full- or part-time. Online students receive the same support services as traditional undergraduate students, including, a dedicated academic advisor, tutoring and learning support from the Academic Resource Center, personalized career guidance from the Center for Career Development, and full access to Wesleyan’s electronic library with nearly limitless research opportunities.

WHY I GIVE

by Mary Tappan Garrison ’46

The years that I spent at Wesleyan’s Conservatory were among the happiest times of my long, long life!

As valedictorian of my 1942 senior class at Greensboro High School in Greensboro, Georgia, I simply could not believe that it was my good fortune to receive a scholarship to attend Wesleyan College. Being an only child, my mother and father were understandably nervous about my leaving home to attend college in Macon and they spent hours reminding me of the many life lessons they had already taught me about manners, respect, and being independent.

When I first arrived at Wesleyan in the fall of 1942 and moved into the Georgia Building with other firstyear students, I found my classmates to be young women just like me – a little timid, but thrilled with our new freedom. Wesleyan sisterhood flourished and we remained close friends for many, many years. This was, after all, my “first time growing up,” and I was determined that my parents would maintain their trust in me. Any time I was asked to go out with a young man, I always introduced him to the dean first, and without exception, she would tell me later her opinion of him. This actually gave me a strong sense of security, of being protected.

Wesleyan truly wrapped her loving arms around me to be sure that I was safe, encouraged, and inspired to always do my best.

During World War II, armed forces personnel stationed at Cochran Field and at Camp Wheeler needed nearby places to board. Wesleyan was approached to see if there would be available space for some of the soldiers to stay while they were training.

One of these handsome young men later became my husband and we were happily married for more than 60 years.

Now, at almost 93 years old, I often reflect on the important lessons that I learned while I was a student at Wesleyan Conservatory and I realize that today’s Wesleyan College is very much the same.

Young women from all over the world enroll to study at Wesleyan and these students develop into mature women, ready to embrace every challenge that might come their way. The lessons they

learn as college students do not all come from books! They learn thoughtfulness, respect for one another, an appreciation and understanding of cultural traditions, and they take these values with them when they leave campus to find their way in the world.

Wesleyan continues to provide a safe, nurturing environment for students and I believe the College deserves our strongest possible support. There have been many before us who have given sacrificially so that Wesleyan College would remain the “oldest and best” for 182 years. Together, let’s keep her going strong for the next 100 years!

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.
