Wilson College in Chambersburg and Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Harrisburg signed an articulation agreement that guarantees qualified Wilson students admission to Widener’s law program and allows them to complete both degrees in six years rather than the usual minimum of seven years. A five-year agreement to create the new “3+3” program was signed by Wilson President Barbara K. Mistick and Widener Law Commonwealth Dean Christian A. Johnson. It takes effect immediately. Successful students will earn a bachelor’s degree from Wilson College and a juris doctor degree—otherwise known as a law degree—from Widener. Under the new program,

students will complete the first three years of college at Wilson and three years at Widener, where they would complete the requirement for their Wilson bachelor’s degree while also completing courses for their law degree. “[Widener] believes that the 3+3 agreement can be a huge benefit to undergraduate students who intend to go to law school,” Johnson said. “The most important reason is that the program enables students to reduce the total educational time commitment from seven years to six years. This results in students effectively saving a year in tuition costs, as well.” In addition to the savings in time and money, qualifying Wilson students would be guaranteed admission to Widener Law Commonwealth, under the agreement.
“The fact that Wilson can offer graduates who qualify guaranteed admission to a highly regarded law school like Widener provides an incredible opportunity and value for our students,” said Elissa Heil, Wilson’s Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty. The Wilson-Widener pact offers students other advantages, as well, according to Heil. “This innovative program also focuses students on choosing an undergraduate curriculum that will best prepare them for their graduate work, enabling them to be more fully ready for the demands of law school,” said Heil. Founded in 1869, Wilson College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college offering bachelor’s degrees in 35 majors and graduate degrees in education, healthcare, business and the arts and humanities.

Get Out, Get Involved, EARLY!
Transitioning from high school to college can be difficult. It is a time of making new friends, becoming independent and, for some, adjusting to living away from home. Over time, this transition can be overwhelming. My advice is to get involved in a club and Wilson’s many traditions. Getting involved with campus clubs and traditions is a great way to make new friends and fill up extra time. My first year of college was hard for me. Living away from home, not seeing my parents
every day, struggling with my classes and trying to make new friends was a challenge for me. I had a lot of free time and ended up spending that time in my room alone instead of getting involved. That is my only regret with college: not getting involved with campus activities sooner. When I got involved with Bottom Shelf Review and Billboard my second year, I was able to fill up my free time and make new friends. Wilson has a variety of clubs and traditions where students
are strongly encouraged to participate. There are a wide range of clubs to choose from including the Gaming Club, Psychology Club, Spanish Club, Bottom Shelf Review and more. If there is not any club that peaks an interest, students are able to start a new club, with the approval of Jared Hirtz, the Residence Life director. Along with the clubs, Wilson has a variety of traditions to help get students involved. The biggest tradition is Sarah Wilson week (I am not going
to give anything away so you will have to get involved to know what goes on during the week.) Wilson also has two Halloween dances, a Thanksgiving dinner, a White Formal dinner and dance and the Spring Fling carnival, dinner and dance. Get involved in as many activities as possible! Join a club and interact with others who have similar interests; this makes the transition to college life easier. - Kirsten Bilger

June 25, 2017 To the Editor: The Friends of Legal Services extends a big thank-you to everyone who made the 33rd Annual Friends of Legal Services Book Sale last month another wonderful success. We thank the many local businesses and offices that served as donation sites, the thousands of people who donated books, and the volunteers who transported, sorted, priced, and sold them. We are particularly grateful to M&T Bank, the law offices of DiLoreto, Cosentino, & Bolinger, and F&M Trust for sponsoring the sale. This vibrant community event makes books available at bargain prices and promotes reading, while at the same time raising essential financial support to provide legal help in civil cases to low-income people in our area. Next year’s sale will take place on May 18, 19, and 20, 2018, on the Wilson College campus in Chambersburg. The book drive will begin in early February, but if you have a large quantity of books to donate before then, or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact Gloria Keener at 717-262-2326. Please also let us know if you have any leads on warehouse space--about 2000 square feet, with a restroom, climate-controlled to protect the books in the Chambersburg area—to sort, price, and store the books. Sincerely, Ellen Gigliotti President Franklin County Friends of Legal Services Art by Francesca Giustini

STUDENT MEDIA

Student Media: More Than Just a Newspaper By Kimberly Maske-Mertz
Student media at Wilson plays a vital role within the campus community. Not only does The Wilson Billboard act as a valuable news source and time capsule of recorded Wilson history, but it also serves as a forum for democratic discussion and creativity. Now, more than ever, The Wilson Billboard reaffirms its commitment to and support of First Amendment rights for ALL members of the Wilson community. Working for an official campus publication proves highly beneficial to students as it provides valuable training and experience that companies take into consideration when vetting future employees. Students gain the added advantage of networking with professionals at conferences, attending summer journalism workshops, joining nationally-recognized professional organizations, and developing a portfolio of published work prior to graduation. Many Wilson graduates have moved on to successful careers in writing and graphic design with various news media outlets, equine magazines, in public relations, and in academia. Lauren Kershner ’13, a reporter at the Hanover Evening Sun, credits her role as a staff reporter with The Wilson Billboard for helping her successfully navigate a career in journalism. “The Billboard and student media did more for me than I ever thought it could,” says
Recent Billboard Graduates Jenna Kauffman ‘17 Freelance Entertainment Writer Waynesboro, PA Emma Miller ‘16 Account Coordinator Phelps Media Group, Inc. Wellington, FL
Kershner. “It was as close to real life experience that I could ever get in college. It prepared me to do a wide variety of stories in different disciplines that allows me to do different things in my career as a journalist.” Assistant Editor of Horse Illustrated and Young Rider Shoshana Rudski ’15 says that working as Graphic Design Editor of the Billboard prepared her for the real world in countless ways. “Not only did it teach me how to use programs like InDesign and how to edit articles, but it also taught me how to work with people,” says Rudski. “Additionally, simply working for a publication was a huge talking point in every post-college interview I had. While your classes may give you the skills needed to succeed, Billboard gives you the chance to actually put those skills to use.” Former Editor-in-Chief and entertainment reporter Jenna Kauffman ’17 has found opportunities to not only write
Photo by: Kimberly Maske-Mertz
about her favorite artists and celebrities, but has also had the privilege of interviewing celebrities such as Bob Saget (“Full House”), Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood (“Who’s Line is it Anyway?”), the band 18th and Addison, Chris Carrabba (lead singer/guitarist of Dashboard Confessional), and Jim Adkins (lead singer/ guitarist of Jimmy Eat World). Student media at Wilson offers a number of exciting staff opportunities in reporting, graphic design, photography, art, and business management for both undergraduate and graduate students of all major areas of study. This October, staff members will travel to Dallas, TX to attend the Associated Collegiate Press National College Media Convention. Interested students are encouraged to find out more information about current openings by contacting Editor-in-Chief Kirsten Bilger or emailing the Billboard at billboard@wilson.edu.

Arts Day Oct. 11
Chapel Events
Arts Day at Wilson is an educational, fun-filled day of free events that encourages everyone to appreciate and celebrate interdisciplinary arts, take note of the impact of the arts on our daily lives, and explore the critical and creative nature of the visual and performing arts. Student groups are encouraged to sponsor an event! Think about how the arts are connected to your area of study or interest, and how you might be able to share that connection with the community. Deadline for event inclusion in the program is September 30. Contact philip.lindsey@wilson.edu for more information.
Reverend Derek Wadlington, the new Helen Carnell Eden Chaplain, is excited to assume the full time position after his time as interim last spring. This fall there will be a monthly worship service on the first Wednesday of each month from 12:00-12:30 p.m. in the Chapel. On other Wednesdays, a bible study will be held in Sarah’s Coffeehouse (Lower Lenfest Commons). If you’d like more information, or would like to help, or just to learn what a chaplain is and does, please stop in and see Derek in Lenfest 107. He’d love to meet you and learn about you!
Music at Wilson
Common Hour Fall 2017
Do you sing or play an instrument? Then join us for any or all of the following campus music activities: Wilson College Choir – For credit or as a dedicated volunteer. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome. No prior experience necessary. Tuesday/ Thursday in Thomson Hall, Room #36, 11-12:15. The DiversiTones – Wilson’s acappella club! Open to any member of the Wilson community. Contact Hannah Hartley at hannah.hartley@wilson.edu for more information. Instrumentalists – If you play an instrument and are interested in sharing your talents on campus, contact Elisabeth. You can also look into lessons and performance opportunities with The Cumberland Valley School of Music (CVSM; www.cvsmusic.org) located in Thomson Hall. If you are interested in learning more about any of these programs, please contact Elisabeth at elisabeth.turchi@wilson.edu.
Wilson’s Common Hour has moved from Tuesdays to Mondays at 12:00pm. This fall’s topic will be related to anxiety. The idea is that everywhere we turn we find people feeling anxious, whether at school or work, at home or in politics. Globally, anxiety is contributing to nationalistic politics, resentment and scapegoating. Domestically, today’s generation of students are among the most anxious on record. Talks on anxiety are also something that many disciplines can address. Anxiety affects/relates to health, education, society, politics, religion, etc. And the talks may also feature causes and ideas on dealing with anxiety. Contact Professor David True at david.true@wilson.edu for more information.

ALUMNAE/I
Ring-it-Forward:
Passing
Throughout the years the highlight of a graduate’s year has been receiving their Wilson ring. A symbol of their four years and the unending bonds formed, the Wilson ring is a treasured piece of history imbued with the Wilson spirit. Many alumnae look back fondly on all the places their rings have gone with them and the doors it has opened. Whether it be worn in an interview or down the aisle, alumnae take pride in carrying the Wilson spirit with them wherever they may go.
The Alumnae Association has made a call for these precious pieces to be passed down, asking alumnae to “ring it forward” to a new generation of Wilson students. This opportunity builds on the importance of our past and all the optimism we have for the future. A Wilson ring is not just a piece of jewelry, bought to remember four years of education; it is a symbol of the honor, integrity, and loyalty that encompasses what it means to be a Wilson graduate. If you are interested in becoming part of this legacy, please stop by the Alumnae House for more information or you can find the Ring it Forward forms online on the Alumnae Association webpage, https:// www.wilson.edu/alumn.
At Wilson College, alumnae/i have the unique opportunity to adopt a new relative by participating in the Aunt Sarah Program, named in honor of our namesake Sarah Wilson. Alumnae/i volunteer as “Aunts” and students sign up to be “nieces or nephews.” An Aunt Sarah will be in contact with their niece/nephew each month through a letter/email
or an occasional package to brighten the student trips to the mailbox and to provide encouragement. The program builds bonds between former and current students. Some of the pairings last a semester, some through commencement and others, a lifetime. For decades students have enjoyed developing a relationship with their Aunt Sarah,
Down
a
Legacy
Aunt Sarah Program Connects Students and Alumni hearing and sharing Wilson stories/traditions, as well as, career and other personal life adventures. For alumnae/i, it is an opportunity to remain connected to campus life and give back in a personal way. Traditionally, Aunt Sarah was a secret connection with hints and clues to discover identities. However, over the years with technology, many have
decided to email, text, Facetime, Skype or even meet face to face for ongoing interaction. A secret connection is still possible with letters or packages going back and forth utilizing staff in the Alumnae House. For more information, contact Alumnae/i Relations at ARoffice@wilson.edu or visit https:// www.wilson.edu/alumn.
Alumnae/i Association of Wilson College Wilson College alumnae/i are committed and engaged in opportunities to support all current Wilson students. The degree of involvement and what is gained from the interactions are up to you. Opportunities and activities include the following: Aunt Sarah Program Food for Finals Career Networking Internship Gift Program

Do You Have Your New Wilson Phoenix Card?
This fall, Wilson College is introducing a new multi-functional identification (ID) card called the “Phoenix Card.” Every student, faculty, and staff member will be required to obtain a new Phoenix Card within the first two weeks of the fall semester and be able to produce the card upon request when on campus. If you are a new or returning residential student, you will receive your Phoenix Card along with your residence hall room key at check-in on your assigned move-in day. If you are a new or returning commuting student, you will need to visit your counselor in the One-Stop Services Center located in Lenfest Commons to receive your
Phoenix Card either during New Student Orientation or during the first two weeks of the fall semester. If you are a new or returning faculty and staff member, you may obtain your Phoenix Card in the new “One-Stop Services Center” located in Lenfest Commons beginning August 14.
The Phoenix Card is more than just your Wilson ID card; it is a multi-functional card that can be used to: access meal plans in the dining hall, make purchases at the Café or College Store, access services at the Field House or Fitness Center, check out books at the Library and
unlock the entrance doors for residential students living in Rosenkrans Hall and Mac/Dav Halls For additional information, please refer to the FAQs found on the MyWilson Portal under the Phoenix Card Account Center, or contact the One-Stop Services Center.

Each year, the Wilson College Parking Committee reviews and updates the parking policies for the campus in an effort to make the ability to have access to parking and buildings better for the entire community. Please refer to this updated website for a copy of the 2017-2018 Wilson College Parking Policies: http://my.wilson.edu/ parking-regulations. It is the responsibility of each member of the Wilson Community to review this policy in order to understand and know the changes in parking areas/designations each year. In addition to updating the policies, this year the Committee has also made it
Parking
Updates
easier for the community to register for parking on campus through this new online vehicle registration form found here: https://www. wilson.edu/parking-permitregistration. New students and faculty should register their vehicles within the first week of classes, and new staff members should do so within their first week of work at the college. Within seven business days of completing the online vehicle registration, you will be sent a parking decal for your car in your campus mailbox. If you do not have a campus mailbox, you will need to make arrangements with Lorie
Helman, coordinator of student development at lhelman@wilson.edu to obtain your new parking decal.
Please remember that all vehicles must be registered on an annual basis. This has
not been strongly enforced in previous years, but the committee asks all faculty, staff, and students to register their car this year and do so on an annual basis. Moving forward, vehicles without a current registration decal could incur unnecessary fines.
