Dear Friends,

Wesleyan Women have long appreciated the College’s international reach, and we are proud to have a strong tradition of attracting students from all over the world. Throughout our history, Wesleyan alumnae have traveled and settled abroad as well – often giving life to our claim of being “engaged in service to the world.” In this issue of the Wesleyan Magazine, we are pleased to tell you about several initiatives that build on our commitment to providing a truly global educational experience, including a new scholarship for talented students from the United States and a dual degree program that will bring bright young woman from Guangzhou University in China to study on our campus. You also will meet several alumnae, faculty, and students who are living, working, and studying abroad. We think you will enjoy their stories and will share our excitement about this renewed effort to ensure that (in the words of a slogan we used on our website a few years ago) Wesleyan Women are wise, witty, warm, wonderful – and worldly!

This issue includes current photographs of Pierce Chapel, which is on schedule for completion early in 2015 with an official dedication planned for April. We feature Benefactors’ Day, too, a lapsed Wesleyan tradition revived as a way to celebrate our generous donors and

to teach our students the importance of philanthropy. Benefactors’ Day also gave us an opportunity to honor the contributions of Wesleyan’s treasured friend Randolph W. Thrower, one of the giants in our history. In the spirit of Benefactors’ Day, we are delighted to share with you our Annual Report, recognizing our amazing donors for Fiscal Year 2014. We are blessed that gifts from hundreds of loyal alumnae and friends help to enrich the Wesleyan experience for every Wesleyan student. Thank you all!

Throughout the fall season, I have been privileged to visit with alumnae groups in Columbus, Savannah, St. Simons/Sea Island, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbia, Raleigh, and Charlotte, sharing the latest stories of Wesleyan along the way. We’ll be stopping in more cities in the spring, so please listen for news of an event in your area and attend if you can. Talking about Wesleyan and our students is great fun for me, of course, and I want you to feel just as proud as I do of our alma mater today. Together, we can continue to spread the good word of Wesleyan College all over the world!

Hail, Wesleyan!

Ruth

The Confucius Institute at Wesleyan College (CIWC) opened its doors on April 11, 2013, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Soong Ching Ling’s graduation from Wesleyan. Six weeks later, on May 28, Guangzhou University, Wesleyan’s partner in China, hosted the ceremonial opening of another exciting venture for the College – the Wesleyan College American Cultural Center at Guangzhou University. Less than a year later, Wesleyan President Ruth Knox and Guangzhou University President Zou Cairong signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a dual degree program between the two institutions. While Wesleyan has similar agreements with Georgia Tech, Auburn University, and Mercer University, this is the first dual degree liberal arts program for women at Guangzhou University and, according to Guangzhou officials, the first in China.

After one year at Guangzhou University, participating students will study at Wesleyan for four consecutive terms: summer, fall, spring, and an additional summer before returning to Guangzhou University to complete the dual degree requirements. Students may earn a bachelor of arts degree from Wesleyan College with a major in business administration, economics, or psychology.

While in China this fall, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Vivia Fowler and Vice President for Enrollment Services Steve Farr interviewed the sixty-nine Guangzhou University students who plan to begin their studies at Wesleyan in the summer of 2015. Dr. Fowler said, “While each one of these young

women is excited about broadening her horizons and coming to America, they all indicated how meaningful it is to study at a women’s college and at Wesleyan College in particular.”

One student said, “I felt so proud to be admitted to the dual degree program between Wesleyan College and Guangzhou University. As we know, Wesleyan College has made great contributions to women’s education and some extraordinary women icons graduated from there, such as the Soong sisters, who inspire me to work hard to become an independent and elegant lady.” Another said, “I chose this program without hesitation... I am thrilled about what is going on as well as what will be going on.”

“This venture is an incredible opportunity for Wesleyan College,” said Steve Farr. “Top-tier economics students as well as the brightest business and psychology students from China have made our new dual degree program their first choice. Their choice is a testament to the strengths of Guangzhou University and to Wesleyan’s reputation as a nationally recognized liberal arts college for women. Student GAOKAO scores, the equivalent of our SAT and ACT scores, for our first class are among the best in China with each exceeding our English proficiency requirements. These students come from fifty-two high schools in twenty-five towns, primarily in the Guangdong province. Throughout the interview and orientation process, all were enthusiastic about being in our inaugural class and following in the footsteps of the Soong sisters.”

Student Zhang Weiwei said, “When I first heard about the Soong sisters’ experience of pursuing their study at Wesleyan College, I longed to have that chance too… I can have the opportunity of studying abroad and communicating with American professors face to face. I plan to graduate with a double degree from both Wesleyan College and Guangzhou University and attend graduate school.”

Each year up to 100 Guangzhou University students will be accepted for study at Wesleyan. They will quickly become immersed in the Wesleyan experience and help celebrate our international sisterhood. Vice President for Student Affairs Patty Gibbs said, “This new initiative provides Wesleyan students with a broader perspective about the world they live in and how the future will be shaped. All Wesleyan women have a passion for the Wesleyan experience, and students in the Guangzhou program are no different. They want to be a part of our traditions and our community; participate in clubs, organizations, and community service projects; and value our campus culture. The Wesleyan experience will be richer for everyone.”

Another member of the new class expressed the sentiments of many in the group: “Wesleyan College is famous for cultivating international elites... I made a right decision in choosing the dual degree program between Wesleyan College and Guangzhou University.”

Building upon Wesleyan College’s commitment to educating the next generation of world leaders, the College has established the Wesleyan College Global Scholars Program for domestic students, designed to grant full tuition scholarships and a study abroad experience to young women across America who will immerse themselves in cultural exchange and serve as student ambassadors for Wesleyan. Supporting up to thirteen domestic students in its first year (2015-2016) with plans to expand that number in subsequent years, the Global Scholars program is expected to become the largest full scholarship program in the College’s history.

While on Wesleyan’s campus, Global Scholars will live and learn with students from across the world – ranging from Nepal to Australia. They will study with visiting international scholars, artists, and experts and have a Global Scholars advisor who assists in planning their individualized course of study. They also will be able to attend special seminars designed to help synthesize their other courses. After her sophomore year, each Scholar will receive up to $3,500 for an international study experience in a location of her choice.

This fall, Steve Farr, vice president for enrollment services, attended Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Fall Leadership Conferences in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, and New Orleans. Speaking at six workshops on “Becoming a Future Global Business Leader,” he shared information on the Global Scholars program with almost 600 high school students. “The response to our Global Scholars program has been outstanding. To be prepared for a rapidly expanding global marketplace, students today want a better understanding of how we are interconnected and how our cultures compare. This program, in combination with our diverse student body and our strong international partnerships, positions Wesleyan to continue its legacy of educating the next generation of world leaders.”

The Program seeks highly qualified high school graduates who are U.S. citizens and who are eager to develop leadership and problem-solving skills and build intercultural and linguistic competence. In return, participants will be asked to share their study abroad experiences with the Wesleyan community and to help ease the cultural transition for Wesleyan’s international exchange students. They will also work with AXIS, Wesleyan’s international student organization, to develop programming to promote intercultural learning. Students meeting the selection criteria will be invited to compete at Wesleyan’s Scholarship Day in February where faculty will select the scholarship recipients.

In an effort to help each Wesleyan student enhance her understanding of cultures throughout the world, Wesleyan College is establishing a new Center for Global Initiatives (CGI) during the 2014-15 academic year. The idea for CGI is not a new one. In her November 2004 inaugural address President Ruth Knox called for the establishment of “a series of academic centers, which, when they are fully implemented, will strengthen existing programs for our students, promote professional development for our faculty, and reach out to our community. The Centers will quite literally extend the campus – bringing the world to Wesleyan and taking Wesleyan students into the world.”

Four proposed centers came to fruition - the Lane Center for Leadership and Service, the Center for Women in Science and Technology, the Center for Educational Renewal, and the Center for Creative and Performing Arts. Now, with Wesleyan’s large population of students from around the world, the new Center will allow students to have a global experience both on campus and through study abroad with our international partners.

Under the leadership of Director Nick Steneck, CGI’s overarching goal is to help create and coordinate globally themed curricular and extracurricular programs. In addition to overseeing the Global Scholars program, CGI will develop academic programs, drawing upon the resources of the Wesleyan Confucius Institute, the Willet Memorial Library, student groups and organizations, and the broader Georgia community. CGI is also launching the new Asian studies

minor, which was established in May in response to student requests for more Asian content in the curriculum. The core of the new Asian studies minor is language coursework. Under instruction by native speakers from the Wesleyan College Confucius Institute and ALLEX (Alliance for Language Learning & Exchange) Foundation, students can take Chinese and Japanese language courses through the intermediate level. Additional coursework in history, political science, art history, literature, and religion provide for a greater understanding of the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of East Asia. “We already have a very strong set of study abroad programs in East Asia,” said Director of the Study Abroad Center Dr. Karen Huber. “In addition to numerous programs offered by the three study abroad consortia to which we belong, we have a number of partnerships with institutions of higher education in East Asia. These partnerships allow us to enrich our campus community with students from partner institutions and can also allow our students to have significant educational experiences overseas at a relatively low cost.” Huber hopes the new minor in Asian studies will encourage even more students to study modern languages and travel to our partner institutions for a summer, a semester, or a full academic year.

CGI will also support student organizations that encourage a broader understanding of our interconnected world, such as the Model UN Club, advised by Dr. Barbara Donovan. This fall, the club will be representing Denmark at the Southern Regional Model United Nations Conference in Atlanta. Through

Model UN, students in a range of majors delve deeply into the history, culture, and politics of a particular nation and encourages students to develop their leadership, speaking, and writing skills. Another student club with which CGI will coordinate is AXIS - the Association for eXemplary International Students, advised by Dr. Barry Rhoades. One of the most visible clubs on campus, AXIS will play an important role in shaping CGI’s programming and helping Wesleyan students take advantage of the cultural richness our international students bring to campus.

Steneck hopes CGI will provide the Wesleyan and Central Georgia communities with a single calendar of events. “Many departments, programs, and student organizations already sponsor a wide range of cultural events. This fall, students have had the chance to hear faculty research presentations on international accounting standards, English and Spanish literature, French medical history, German propaganda, and the role of the liberal arts in globalization. They have had opportunities to attend a film offered as part of the Chinese film festival, practice Tai Chi, participate in Chinese dance classes, and visit an exhibit at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art on Cezanne and the Modern with their French classes. The possibilities are endless. I have colleagues who have been involved with major art projects and musical performances throughout Asia, who have hiked through Ireland, England, and Spain, and who have taught in South Korea. I think students would be interested in hearing about their experiences.”

Wesleyan’s commitment to academic excellence, global engagement, and community service extends far beyond the boundaries of our campus. Our students are encouraged to consider a study abroad experience as part of their liberal arts education. These international programs are often life-changing, providing experiences and developing skills that are attractive to future employers.

Students may apply for financial aid and scholarships to assist with the cost of studying abroad. The Royal Endowed Scholarship for Study Abroad is available to students who plan to study with a Wesleyan-led program, a Wesleyan direct exchange program, or a consortium program. The Royal Scholarship was created and funded by sisters Marjorie Royal ’30 and Dorothy Royal Gower ’34. Although the sisters lived in

their small hometown of Cordele, Georgia, for most of their lives, they shared a passion for world travel. The first Royal Scholarships were awarded to fifteen students during the 2008-2009 academic year. The number of scholarships varies year-to-year but usually totals about $28,000 per year.

With funding from a Royal Scholarship, Lane Scholar Camille Lacey, Class of 2015, was among a group of music students who accompanied Wesleyan Assistant Professor of Music Dr. Chenny Gan ’02 to The Cantus Salisburgensis 2014 International Choir and Orchestra Festival in Salzburg, Austria. Over a period of two weeks in July, the Wesleyan group performed in several venues, including the Mozarteum University of Salzburg, Golling Castle, which is more than one thousand years old, and Salzburg Cathedral where Wolfgang

Singing “Voi, che sapete” from Mozart’s “Le nozze di Figaro,” Camille Lacey ’15 performed for the first time by herself with an orchestra at Chiesa di San Leonardo in Tesero, Italy. The orchestra was composed of other festival students and professors.

Amadeus Mozart once performed. The group also traveled to the Grumo music festival in Tesero, Italy. While in Tesero, Camille took three voice lessons at the world famous Pentagramma Scuola di Musica.

“Our first performance in Italy was held at Chiesa di san Leonardo. I sang Voi, che sapete by Mozart, which was the first time I had performed with an orchestra. I learned that everything is directed to the speed and dynamic that the singer uses. I also learned the proper etiquette when working with the players and the conductor. Hearing uplifting compliments from people from all over the world has made me feel like I truly do have a gift I should continue to share,” Camille said.

With assistance from a Royal Scholarship, international relations major Kirsten Genutis, Class of 2015, spent six weeks last summer in the multi-cultural division of the international Soong Ching Ling School in Shanghai, China. Kirsten observed classes, most of which are taught in English, assisted in office work, interacted with children, went on field trips, and helped edit the school’s yearbook and an English version of the school’s newspaper. Students in the multicultural division of the school are fluent in English. They come from upper middle class families in China and from countries all over the world like Belgium, Sweden, and Brazil.

Founded by Madame Soong Ching Ling, Wesleyan Class of 1913, the school welcomes families who want their children to have a world-class education in an international and multicultural environment. Madame Soong Ching Ling devoted her life to improving the health and education of women and children. She founded the China Welfare Institute (CWI) in 1938 as the China Defense League. The CWI now runs the Soong Ching Ling Kindergarten, founded in 1991, and the Soong Ching Ling School, grades first through ninth, founded in 2008.

In June 2015, Dr. Jan Lewis, associate professor of theatre, and Robert Fieldsteel, artist-in-residence, will host a four-day study abroad to the Stratford Theatre Festival in Ontario, Canada. This year’s festival will see adaptations of an early Urdu novel, a children’s story, a new approach to four of Shakespeare’s history plays, and two Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. During spring break 2015, Professor of Psychology Dr. James Rowan will take a group of students to Rome, Italy, to study the neuroscience of pleasure and beauty.

Wesleyan maintains cooperative agreements through the Institute for the International Education of Students, the American Institute for Foreign Study, and the Council for International Educational Exchange, which provide access

to a wide range of institutionally approved international colleges and universities in more than forty countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, China, Australia, Austria, and Argentina. In addition, Wesleyan College has direct exchange agreements with various schools in Northern Ireland and with the following schools in Asia: Guangzhou University in China; Sookmyung Women’s University and Ewha Womans University in South Korea; and Osaka University and Hiroshima Jogakuin University in Japan.

Shanita Anderson, a junior majoring in early childhood education with a focus on children with disabilities, spent four months last summer at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea. “The experience changed my life. Being in a culture that was foreign to me helped me understand how a disabled person might feel every day living in a society that is foreign to her.”

Rahsheeda Bell, a senior majoring in history, also spent time last summer at Ewha Womans University. During an intensive class that met four times a week, Rahsheeda learned to speak Korean, which enabled her to become fully immersed in the culture. She also took history classes at the University. “It was cool to read about ancient sites and then actually visit and study them in person.” After graduation in May, Rahsheeda plans to work toward her Ph.D. “I hope to work at the Smithsonian as a historian and curator and eventually become a professor and conduct my own research. I would love to continue to travel, and I hope my career will always allow me to do so.”

Located in the emerald-green waters of the Indian Ocean, the island country of Sri Lanka is frequently referred to as the “Teardrop of India.” First populated by the Sinhalese peoples from northern India in 543 BC, Sri Lanka has a documented history that spans more than 3,000 years. But there are theories to suggest that Sri Lanka had pre-historic human settlements dating back at least 125,000 years and possibly as far back as 500,000 years. It is the 57th most populated nation in the world.

One might think that when first-year student Keshika Marambe arrived in Macon, Georgia, from her home in Colombo, Sri Lanka, she would have experienced a certain amount of culture shock, but she didn’t skip a beat. The day she arrived on Wesleyan’s campus she fell in love with the history of the school, its beautiful Georgian architecture, and the southern hospitality.

“People here are so friendly! I like the diversity of the student body at Wesleyan and how everyone is so open with each other. Everyone wants to get to know each other and learn about other cultures.” Keshika earned her way to Wesleyan via the Georgia Rotary Student Program Scholarship (GRSP). Each year Rotarians in Georgia award approximately eighty GRSP scholarships for one year of study at Georgia colleges and universities to international students who are recommended by a Rotary Club in their home country. In Macon, the scholarship is alternated year-to-year between Wesleyan and Mercer University.

Keshika’s native language is Sinhalese, but she began studying English in the

tenth grade. In Sri Lanka, education is a priority. The country has one of the world’s most literate populations. The education system dictates nine years of compulsory schooling for every child, and it is one of the few countries in the world that provides universal free education at the university level. Its youth literacy rate stands at 98 percent.

Keshika is not the first person in her family to study in the United States, nor is she the first to receive a Rotary Scholarship. Her brother Kavan attended Middle Georgia State College in 2011 with assistance from a scholarship he received from the Rotary Club of Cochran. He now lives and works in Atlanta. Keshika enjoys having family nearby but said, “Being homesick is a choice. If you have the right support system at school, you don’t have the feelings of missing home too often.”

Having declared her major in applied math and minor in education, Keshika will be applying for additional scholarships in hopes of staying at Wesleyan to earn her undergraduate degree in 2018. Afterward, she plans to attend graduate school in another country, perhaps Italy. She is still considering career options but is leaning towards teaching math at the college level or becoming an engineer and working in aviation.

Making the most of her time at Wesleyan, Keshika serves on the Council on Judicial Affairs and is a member of the Habitat Club. She is confident in her abilities and excited about the challenges that lie ahead. Like GRSP students before her, Keshika represents the values of Rotary clubs, not only in Georgia but also all over the world.

According to Hoa Nguyen, Class of 2015, “Everyone in Asia knows about Wesleyan College. It is famous for being the American institution where the Soong sisters earned their college diplomas.” With great confidence in Wesleyan’s excellent reputation, Hoa’s parents sent their eldest daughter halfway around the world to begin her studies. Eager to embrace all the experiences that a women’s college offers, Hoa arrived on campus from her home in Hanoi, Vietnam, in August 2010.

During her first year at Wesleyan, Hoa learned about the direct exchange study agreement Wesleyan has with the University of Ulster at Coleraine in Northern Ireland and immediately set a goal to have a study abroad experience her junior year. In December 2014, this English and international relations double major with a minor in finance completed her fall semester exams, bid a temporary farewell to Wesleyan, and headed straight for Paris for a vacation of exploration before beginning university classes in Ireland. Believing that Paris is “one of the best cities for sightseeing and experiencing a mixture of world cultures,” Hoa spent much of her time exploring the Palace at Versailles, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Musee d’Orsay and walking along Champs-Elysees and the banks of the Seine River. She also enjoyed observing the spirit of the Vietnamese community in Paris. “I am amazed by the way Vietnamese women there use arts and cuisine to continue the Vietnamese culture and traditions.”

Arriving at the University of Ulster at Coleraine on January 23, 2014, Hoa jumped right into a busy schedule. She took three major courses, or modules as they are called in Ireland, including the study of twentieth century British literature, Victorian novels, and Renaissance drama. She described the modules as being very different from the seminar-style discussion classes at Wesleyan, which she prefers. At Ulster, the classes were typically two-hour lectures with a one-hour discussion only once a week. Being enrolled in a co-ed university, Hoa said, was both interesting and challenging. “I feel more focused at Wesleyan where we get personal attention and feel comfortable discussing our ideas and testing our skills as we learn to become leaders. At Wesleyan, we study and talk more openly in our sisterhood environment.”

While studying in Northern Ireland, Hoa joined a canoeing club and enjoyed meeting friends for Irish coffee at local pubs. At the invitation of the All-Ireland Conference of Undergraduate Research, she presented her Wesleyan research paper on tensions between the Baltic States and the Russian Federation.

Ever the world traveler, Hoa completed her studies at the University of Ulster in mid-April and headed to England to explore many of the places she had read about in her modules. She visited Oxford University, the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and Christ Church College at Oxford; Stratford-on-Avon, Shakespeare’s birthplace; and the city of Manchester. From England, Hoa traveled

to Scotland to explore Edinburgh and the University of St. Andrews. Founded in 1413, St. Andrews is Scotland’s first university and the third oldest university in the English-speaking world. Her next stop was Turkey where she toured Istanbul, the famous Blue Mosque, and the Bosphorus Bridge, which spans the Bosphorus Strait connecting Europe and Asia.

Leaving Istanbul behind, Hoa returned home to Hanoi for the summer to relax with her parents and younger sister, who she hopes will follow in her footsteps and study at Wesleyan.

After graduation in May, Hoa plans to fulfill a summer internship in Washington, D.C., before going on to graduate school. She would like to study international security with a focus on the balance of power in the South China Sea at one of her top three graduate program choices in Paris, Germany, or Switzerland. Having had the experience and the privilege of learning from Wesleyan’s excellent professors who keep an eye trained on the global community, Hoa’s long-term goal is to become a teacher.

“Vietnamese culture will always be within me. It is part of my identity and the grounding point that supports everything I do. The knowledge I gained from this travel experience pushes me to be more open to all international communities.I am much more aware of how privileged I am to have a Wesleyan education. I am now ready to finish my last year of college and go out into the world and strive to succeed with compassion, gratitude, and grace!”

In the past five years, the rosters of the Wesleyan College athletics teams have included nearly thirty international student-athletes from all corners of the globe. They have come to Macon from China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, South Africa, Australia, Macedonia, Ireland, and Jamaica. Like all NCAA Division III student-athletes, these international Wolves are competing without the benefit of athletic scholarships.

This year’s soccer roster is just a snapshot of what Wesleyan athletics has embraced for years. Three of the twenty-seven members on the Wolves squad represent three different continents. Sophomore Leah McLeod hails from Ourimbah, Australia, while junior Sydney Davis is from Cape Town, South Africa, and junior Paula O’Hare is from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Leah’s path to Wesleyan originated with the help of NSR Australia, a soccer scouting program that matches Australian athletes to college programs in the United States. Through their assistance, she found former head coach Ciaran Traquair, who recruited her to Wesleyan.

“I was excited about being a part of a soccer program that was gaining momentum,” Leah remarked. “I was also attracted by the smaller class sizes at Wesleyan, which makes learning a lot easier.”

Leah’s journey abroad at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year marked her first trip to the States. Although her parents have vacationed in the United States, she is the first in her family to study abroad, and adding soccer to that mix has enriched her experience at Wesleyan.

“Soccer has definitely helped with the social aspect of integrating into campus life. I have met a lot of my closest friends through soccer. Also, being a student-athlete has challenged me in many ways, helping me to become a stronger person all around.”

Leah has proved to be an invaluable addition to the Wolves soccer team. Last season, she earned First Team All-Conference honors and the Great South Athletic Conference’s Freshman of the Year. She also received Wesleyan’s top individual honor, earning the Athlete of the Year award last May.

A neuroscience major, Leah is wrapping up her third semester at Wesleyan and will be returning home to Australia in December with plans to finish her degree in her homeland. She hopes to spend a year traveling the rest of the world, especially throughout Europe, before completing her education and settling into a work environment.

Paula O’Hare’s journey to Wesleyan couldn’t be more different from Leah’s. Paula was chosen from a pool of more than 400 applicants to study abroad through the Study USA program established through the British Council and funded by the Department for Employment and Learning. Based on her interview and her interests and hobbies, she was matched with Wesleyan.

“I couldn’t refuse the chance to study in America,” stated Paula. “I knew I’d make lots of new friends and the experience would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that would help define me as a person.”

Paula is an exchange student, so her stay on campus will last only one year. However, she is not letting that fact hold her back as she has become a member of both the soccer and equestrian teams. In Ireland, field hockey was her top sport, so the transition to soccer has been both fun and challenging.

“I appreciate tremendously everything soccer has given me. It has made my transition to Wesleyan much easier. Learning the game was a challenge as it is so different from field hockey, yet it has allowed me to make friends for life who are supporting me through every practice as I continue to learn new skills.”

Studying mathematics and finance, Paula intends to use her experience at Wesleyan to enhance her degree when she graduates in Belfast.

“At home, my course is a new one, so I will be the first to graduate with international business practice attached to my degree. That will make me highly employable as my course was designed with the employment sector of Belfast in mind. However, I will be pulling every string possible to get back to the U.S. once I have my degree.”

circumstances. Though born in the United States, Sydney was reared in a mission field in Cape Town, South Africa. She learned about Wesleyan through an online recruitment site and established strong contacts with admissions counselors.

“I was attracted by the diversity of the campus as well as its size,” Sydney remarked. “I decided to come to Wesleyan when I was offered an art scholarship, which gave me the resources I needed to attend.”

Sydney came to Wesleyan in the fall of 2012 and plans to graduate in May of 2016 with degrees in studio art and art history.

An outstanding student, Sydney has maintained a 4.0 grade point average, all while being a member of both the soccer and basketball teams. Furthermore, she is involved in a number of campus activities, serving as the build coordinator for the Habitat for Humanity Club, volunteering as an art history tutor, and working as a campus ministry assistant.

Sydney has earned one of the top athletic department awards in each of the past two years. As a first-year student, she earned the Pioneer Spirit Award for her support of athletics and for her spirit of encouragement. At the end of her sophomore year, she was honored as the Scholar Athlete of the Year

for maintaining the highest GPA among all athletes on campus.

Sydney credits athletics for many valuable lessons. “Soccer has taught me a lot about sisterhood and caring for people. It has also forced me to manage my time and to always be prepared.”

Despite their different routes to Wesleyan, Leah, Paula, and Sydney agree that athletics has contributed to their overall experience. They have developed lasting friendships, traveled to new places, and learned valuable life lessons along the way.

Wesleyan Women

are Worldly

For many years, women from around the world have come to Wesleyan to study and to prepare for careers in the United States and abroad. As early as the 1800s, Wesleyan students were focused on foreign affairs and interested in traveling the world to address the issues of the day despite the challenges of international travel. Nineteenth century missionaries like Eliza and Julia Jewett Hartwell (Classes of 1854 and 1848 respectively) set out on sailing ships to take the Christian message to the outermost parts of the world. They also took the story of Wesleyan College to women from China, India, Brazil, Korea, Japan, Germany, France, and Mexico, who traveled great distances to be educated at Wesleyan.

In 1859, missionary Mary Houston Allen (Class of 1858) and her husband Dr. Young Allen spent seven months in a sailboat crossing the Pacific Ocean to reach China. In 1884, educator Laura Askew Haygood (Class of 1865) joined the Allens in Shanghai as the first female sent into the foreign mission field by the Women’s Missionary Society of the Methodist Church. After teaching for seven years at the Clopton School in Shanghai, Laura and Dr. and Mrs. Allen founded the McTyeire School as a home for missionaries and a Christian school for Chinese girls. Among the school’s most famous graduates are Soong Ai-ling, Ching-ling, and Mei-ling, all of whom left China for further education at Wesleyan. With her strong commitment to equal education for women – unheard of in China at that time – Laura taught in China for seventeen years until her death in 1900. Today Wesleyan women like Esther Celestin ’00, who teaches English composition to twelfth grade students in Hangzhou, China, are proud to follow in Laura’s footsteps.

Wesleyan’s history is filled with stories of extraordinary connections and relationships, including those of women who are serving in a variety of careers around the world. Chika Yoshida ’95 lives in the United Kingdom and works as corporate communications manager at Sony Europe; Betty A. Thompson ’47 lived in Geneva, Switzerland, during the mid-1950s writing articles for the World Council of Churches, which were published throughout the world; and internationally renowned opera star Caroline Thomas ’81 holds a full professorship at the Hochschule für Musik in Detmold, Germany, and is the school’s first female dean.

ConsIDeR tHese eXAMPles:Carol Rogers Smith ‘71 and her husband Clark were called into full time missions and ministry in 2007. The following year, the Smiths sold their executive recruiting firm in Savannah, Georgia, down-sized their home, and launched E412 Ministries. As home-based missionaries, they live in a “tent packing” stage and are always ready to go where the Lord calls them. The Smiths are often out of the country – most recently during the first six months of this year when they served in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, and Belize. This fall they are serving in Southeast Asia.

Betsy Herlong ’12 from Memphis, Tennessee, graduated from Wesleyan with a double major in French and English and moved to Ancenis, France, to work with the Teaching Assistant Program. For seven months, she taught conversational English and American culture to middle school children. “Living abroad was one of the greatest adventures of my life. It helped me realize that regardless of language or culture, people are people. We can all find something in common to

share.” On track to graduate from the University of Memphis in 2015 with a master’s degree in French, Betsy works as a graduate assistant teaching two introductory French classes at the University.

Accepted at her first and second choice graduate programs, and with the intent of working in the field of intercultural communication, Beth Hurst ’14 from Lancing, Tennessee, decided to postpone her graduate studies for one year to live abroad and learn a second language. In August, Beth moved to Munich, Germany, to work as an au pair for a family with two young sons. “Living abroad has been a tremendous personal growth experience. It’s made me smarter, wiser, more tolerant, and more empathetic.” Beth will enter the University of Tennessee’s communication and information doctoral program in the fall of 2015.

For five years after graduating from the Wesleyan Conservatory, Jo Patterson Bettoja ’47 from Millen, Georgia, traveled throughout Europe as a high-fashion Vogue magazine model. While working in Italy, Jo met and married Italian hotelier Angelo Bettoja.Together the couple reared three children in the heart of Rome. After her children were grown, Jo and her friend Anna Maria Cornetto opened the cooking school Lo Scaldavivande (which translates to dish and cover). For more than a decade, the internationally renowned and hotly fashionable Lo Scaldavivande was the most celebrated cooking school in Rome. Students from around the world attended and enjoyed mastering classic Italian recipes as well as traditional Southern dishes. Jo is widely considered one of the three signoras of Italian cooking and has published several award winning cookbooks.

In August of 2009, just three months

after graduating from Wesleyan with

a major in middle grades education

and a minor in environmental studies,

Laney Turner ’09 moved to South Korea

to teach with the English Program in

Korea, a government program that

places teachers in public schools. She

enjoyed teaching in Daejeon, a small

town two hours south of Seoul where

the children were enthusiastic and the

parents were grateful their children

were learning English.

Two years later, Laney returned to

the United States to teach science at

a Title 1 school in Charleston, South

Carolina. After about eighteen months

Laney began to miss living abroad. She

contacted the recruiting company that

had helped her find work in Korea and

discovered that teaching jobs were

available in the Middle East, specifically

in Abu Dhabi, located in the United

Arab Emirates (UAE). “I was attracted

to the Middle East for a variety of

reasons like the tax-free salary and

benefits package which includes a two

bedroom, two-bathroom apartment!”

Laney works for the Abu Dhabi

Education Council (ADEC), which is the

educational authority for the emirate

of Abu Dhabi. ADEC hires English

speaking teachers to place in public

schools throughout the Emirate,

including within the city of Abu Dhabi.

Laney teaches science to sixth grade

female Arab students who speak

Arabic as their first language but are

quite adept with English. Most of her

students are Emirati but some come

from other parts of the Middle East,

including Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Sudan,

Morocco, and Egypt.

“I’m impressed with Sheikh Khalifa

bin Zayed and his push to educate

women. The girls I teach have many

opportunities, including a chance to

attend university abroad if they do

well in K-12. I imagine the girls here

would thrive and succeed at Wesleyan

where the environment is focused on

sisterhood and achievement.”

In the second year of her two-year

contract, Laney hopes to be offered a

renewal contract that will enable her to

stay in Abu Dhabi for an additional two

years. When she leaves Abu Dhabi, she

plans to seek employment somewhere

else abroad, though she hasn’t begun

researching the next locale.

“This modern city is very

wealthy with oil money but it is still

evolving. The UAE is expanding their

infrastructure by developing sources of

income other than oil. I see changes on

a daily basis and feel the excitement as

the city and country continue to grow.”

After serving Georgia’s public school system as a teacher for more than twenty years, Katherine Breland Bradley ’79 was ready for a change. She began to investigate opportunities for educational careers in other countries and was most impressed by what she learned about the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In 2011, this fifth-generation Wesleyanne from Macon, Georgia, accepted a job as the academic vice president at the female campus of the Institute of Applied Technology (IAT) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Founded in 2005, IAT is an academically elite, college preparatory government school attended exclusively by Emirati girls. Established by the Royal Decree of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the school’s objective is to prepare, qualify, and train its

students to earn specialized scientific and technological degrees. IAT describes itself as providing a career-based technical education and outlines the significance of education and training as an investment in the future of UAE’s economic growth and social development. One of the most diverse countries in the world, and the richest since 2007, UAE has been in existence for only about fifty years. In 2012, Abu Dhabi was identified as the most expensive city in the world and, according to Katherine, ATM machines there will dispense gold. “The UAE government realizes that their natural resources will one day run out. Therefore, they have made a commitment to develop the country’s human resources so their citizens can compete in a global market and continue to advance their country. Realizing that

their graduates will not be accepted into prestigious universities without English literacy and culturally diverse experiences, they have sought teachers and administrators from English-speaking countries to assist with a total immersion English program. It is pretty advanced thinking for a country that is so young and one that is so rich – they could just relax and soak in their gold, but they have decided to be proactive.” Katherine earned her Ph.D. in educational administration at Mercer University. Her dissertation focused on the single-gender educational environment and its impact on academic achievement, discipline referral frequency, and attendance. According to Katherine, hers was the first research of its kind in the United States since Title IX was introduced. Title IX guarantees no gender

discrimination within any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Katherine’s contract at IAT is open-ended. She plans to stay for at least two years, perhaps longer if she continues to have good experiences. “The City of Abu Dhabi is an interesting place – evidence of a blending of old Arabic cultures and new Emirati wealth is everywhere. Obviously the two exist harmoniously as there does not appear to be an initiative to move out the old to bring in the new. You can step into a tiny, tattered Arabic tailor’s shop to purchase a very beautiful but inexpensive piece of material, buy a Lebanese pastry next door in an open-air bakery, walk past a high-rise international bank, and eat dinner at Olive Garden – all within the same block.”

Immediately after graduating from Wesleyan with a major in English and a minor in business administration, Erin Durham ’95 moved to Milan, Italy, where she spent a year teaching English as a second language, modeling, and working as a waitress. Chatting with the customers, Erin said, was a great way to learn the local language. Erin married and moved with her husband Gianluca to Austin, Texas, and began working as an assistant media buyer for an area ad agency. One year after moving to Austin, Gianluca was transferred to Philadelphia. There Erin continued her advertising career as a media planner for Foote, Cone and Belding, one of the largest global advertising agencies in the world. Taco Bell was Erin’s major account. “My husband was then offered

a job in Italy so we decided to move back for a year to ‘test it out.’ I got a job in Milan with one of Europe’s largest media agencies and worked on accounts including Disney, Shell, DHL, National Geographic, and the World Wildlife Federation. As part of the international division, I did not have to speak perfect Italian, but I studied in the evenings to improve my skills.” After their daughter was born, Erin worked from home for a U.S. market research firm specializing in the travel and tourism industry. The company’s objective is to help cities understand their strengths and weaknesses and explore ways to attract more convention business. Erin enjoyed successful campaigns in cities including Rome, Milan, Amsterdam, Oslo, and Geneva. In 2006, she became the European sales director

for the consulting firm Kline and Company. Today she serves as global sales and marketing director for Kline’s market research division. “We sell syndicated market research to large multi-national companies as well as regional and niche businesses. We work in four primary industries: energy, consumer, chemicals, and agrochemicals. I am responsible for the overall management of our global sales and marketing team and for making sure our sales team reaches their targets.” Erin has more than fifteen years of professional experience with Fortune 500 companies in Europe and North America. Her experience includes managing international media and advertising campaigns, implementing market research and marketing strategies, and

cultivating senior-level client relations. She believes that the liberal arts education she earned at Wesleyan has made her a stronger and more confident person, which has been essential in cultivating her successful career. “A liberal arts education teaches students to be creative thinkers, an advantage in any career as today’s companies are looking for people who solve problems in new ways. A liberal arts education taught me to be versatile and flexible and make the most out of each opportunity I have.” Erin and her family live alongside Lago Maggiore, a lake between Milan and Switzerland. “I love the European cultures and all these wonderful cities so close to each other. In two hours, I can be in London; in one and a half hours I can be in Paris or Brussels or Prague. Rome is only one hour away.”

The first time Bethany Kriznik Wheatley ’05 visited Europe was her junior year at Wesleyan. During her three-month study abroad experience, Bethany decided that one day she would move to London. The summer of 2004, between her junior and senior years at Wesleyan, Bethany worked as an intern for the Pennsylvania State Delegation Office during the Democratic National Convention. She said the experience provided excellent insight into the behind-the-scenes political arena. Her duties included editing the state delegation’s daily schedule of events, disseminating information about events to the delegates and press, creating and overseeing guest lists for evening receptions, and organizing daily outings for state delegates. “Part of the experience included working with various members of the state Democratic Party and the governor’s staff to arrange strategy meetings with the state delegation. This internship solidified my love of running political events and campaigns, which is what I ended up doing in London.” Bethany began to research graduate programs in the United Kingdom, and by her senior year she had narrowed her choices to two – International Security Studies at St. Andrews University in Scotland and Public Policy and Administration at the London School of Economics (LSE) in England. She was accepted into both programs. After graduating from Wesleyan with a major in history and a minor in political science, Bethany began her studies at LSE and earned her Master of Science degree in public policy and administration. Not long afterward, Bethany married Dan Wheatley, who was also in a master’s program at LSE, and started looking for a job. “Through sheer persistence, I got my CV in front of James McGrath (now an Australian senator representing Queensland) who was in the number two position on Boris Johnson’s initial campaign to become mayor of London. I was hired as a blogging coordinator. Johnson defeated the incumbent candidate and became mayor in 2008. After the election, I began working for a small private public affairs and public relations company as a digital strategy consultant, advising both public and private organizations.” Bethany has been self-employed since November of 2010 when she left the PR firm to join Johnson’s 2012 mayoral reelection

campaign. Bethany played an instrumental role, serving as head of digital media. Her responsibilities included overseeing the design and implementation of the website, coordinating all social media activity and email campaigns, and online recruiting efforts. Johnson was reelected. Currently Bethany’s work includes blogging for a French think tank called Trop Libre and for Shortlist Media Group where she recently finished a project that involved creating a strategy to drive organic content via social channels.

“I wholeheartedly support a women’s college education. A lot of people have no idea that a small, southern school like Wesleyan could have such a diverse student body and global outlook. Attending Wesleyan not only gave me a first-class academic education but also opened the door to amazing extracurricular opportunities that put me on the path to where I am today. “

Bordered by Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, Yunnan is China’s most southwestern province. The Tropic of Cancer runs through its southernmost part. Yunnan is also China’s most diverse province, biologically as well as culturally. Snow-capped mountains and true tropical environments support the largest diversity of plant life in China. Though it holds less than four percent of China’s land, Yunnan is home to about half China’s birds and mammals. Being relatively undeveloped, Yunnan is more poverty-stricken than most other provinces in China. Yunnan’s neighboring province, Chongqing, is where Meizi Li ’13 was born. A major manufacturing center and transportation hub, Chongqing was recently named as one of China’s thirteen emerging megacities. Meizi’s immediate family moved to Miami when she was very young, but the majority of her family still live in Chongqing. “I remember my

life in China in bits and pieces. I remember events but I can’t put together dates. It’s as if I have a pool of memories all jumbled together.” As a child, Meizi visited China every year or two during summer vacation. She was raised bilingual, speaking Mandarin and the Chongqing dialect at home and English at school. When she began researching colleges, Meizi applied only to Florida state schools. One of her father’s friends mentioned that the Soong sisters attended Wesleyan, so she decided to visit. She was impressed with the campus and the College’s close-knit community, but ultimately Wesleyan’s strong psychology department won her over. After graduating from Wesleyan with a degree in psychology, Meizi planned to apply for a job with Teach For America, a national teacher corps of recent college graduates who commit to two years of teaching in under-

resourced communities across America. When she learned about a similar program called Teach For China, she decided to apply there instead. Today Meizi is teaching English to 480 seventh- and eighth-grade students in the Yunnan Province. “I teach mostly oral English. The school’s English teachers teach only the grammar rules - and strictly by the book. They rarely speak English in class. My oral class complements the school’s English courses.” Meizi teaches at a boarding school where students are in class from seven o’clock in the morning until nine o’clock at night, with breaks for lunch and dinner. They go home on weekends to help farm their family’s land. Meizi said her biggest challenge is that education is not a priority for most of the children living in Yunnan. “Yunnan is in the mountains. The people are poor and the children barely speak accurate Mandarin. For the most part,

they are not interested in learning English. Many drop out in middle school to work on their family’s land or go to other provinces to do hard labor to make money to send back home. Some of the children are at school only to have food in their stomachs and a warm bed to sleep in.” According to Teach For China, one’s birthplace often determines educational prospects and life opportunities, with many of China’s young people growing up without access to quality education. Teach For China reports that children as young as ten are dropping out to farm or work in factories. Stressing the importance of gaining an education, Meizi tells her students about Wesleyan’s diverse student population and explains how Wesleyan welcomes international students from all over the world, including China. She hopes several will join her as Wesleyan alumnae!

As an international relations major at Wesleyan, Alicia Brownell ’11 dreamed of living abroad and working as a foreign affairs officer for the State Department. Having studied Mandarin for a year, she applied to be the first Wesleyan student to study at Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages, Wesleyan’s sister school inTaiwan. From September 2009 to July 2010, Alicia lived and studied in Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan. “This experience amplified my view of world politics. I took several courses in Asian politics, economy, culture, and history, which changed my understanding of the area. My experience in Taiwan reaffirmed my desire to work for the United States Foreign Service.” During the summer ofher junior year at Wesleyan,Alicia’s parents were living in Enterprise, Alabama, near Ft. Rucker Military Base (her father is retired from the military).There she met Julian Echeverri, a Colombian Army officer

attending basic helicopter school at Ft. Rucker. Later the two were married and Julian was assigned to Bogota, Colombia, where he now serves as a helicopter pilot and captain in the National Colombian Army. “I moved to Colombia to take a break after graduation. My idea was to spend a year exploring this country and working part-time until returning to the States withmy husband.” Alicia got a job teachingprivate English classesat Colegio de EstudiosSuperiores de Administración.After about six months atthe university, she beganworking for Berlitz, Inc, a 138-year-old global leadership training and language education company. She was assigned to teach English to cadets at the Military Academy of the National Colombian Army (Escuela Militar de Cadetes General José María Córdova). She was the only teacher whose native language

was English, and soon higher ranking officers began seeking her assistance with translations. She was invited to interview for a position as a research advisor for Brainport 100, a medical device for the blind and visually impaired. “The goal of my researchwas to determine if Brainport 100 could be used to ‘give sight’ to soldiers blinded by mines during war. I created a project plan that included costs, how the device functions, and possible trajectories, and presented my research in late March 2013. By mid-April I was working as the Major General’s personal international relations advisor on the project.” As a result of her findings,The Department of Welfare and Family Concerns of the National Colombian Army hopes to implement the device into the wounded soldiers’ program. Alicia and her colleaguesadvise the commander of the National Colombian Army, the deputy chief of the National

Colombian Army, and the chiefof Army Operations. Being semi-fluent in Spanish and Mandarin, Alicia is the desk advisor for the United States, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Peace Keeping Operations. Her daily duties include advising the chief of Army Operations about relationships with embassies and international organizations;giving recommendations and proposing new topics for future international cooperation; and researching internationalorganizations such as NATO, UN, and WTO. “I never imagined I’d beliving and working in Bogota, Colombia. Saying yes to new opportunities and taking chances have gotten me where I am today. Even though I enjoyworking here, I look forward to returning to the United States and hope to use my experiences and knowledge to work in foreign policy with the State Department.”

ConfuCius institute Day at Wesleyan

24

On September 27, 2014, the Confucius Institute at Wesleyan College (CIWC) joined schools around the world in celebrating Chinese culture by hosting an International Confucius Institute Day festival on campus.

“This is the 10th anniversary of Confucius Institutes worldwide. There are more than 450 in the world and about 100 in the United States, and every Confucius Institute held a celebration on Saturday,” said Emily Jarvis, assistant to the president and program coordinator for the CIWC.

The day’s events began with an opening performance on the quad followed by family-friendly activities around campus including Chinese games and character puzzles. Dong “Donna” Han, Wesleyan professor of Chinese language, coached guests in making dumplings while Mercer University professor Martin Zhao taught calligraphy. Festival-goers also had the opportunity to create Peking opera masks and learn a few Chinese phrases. Martial arts performers entertained the crowds, and Wesleyan’s Chinese folk dance group made its debut. A favorite activity for children and adults alike was the chance to have their pictures taken while wearing traditional Chinese costumes.


“We brought back from China more than 100 brightly colored period costumes that represent different Chinese dynasties. We had two life-size imitations of the terra cotta warriors in Xi’an which served as a backdrop for the photo booth,” Jarvis said.

First-year student and biology major Shamsa Haji, from Somalia, said she enjoyed the Lion Dance performance by the Double Happiness Lions from the Chien Hong School of Kung Fu in Atlanta. The two lions, each animated by two performers inside the colorful Chinese lion suit, leaped off the stage and pretended to gobble up members of the audience.

Complementing the festival was “The Holy Journey of Confucius,” a series of fifteen paintings telling the story of Confucius’ life by Atlanta artist YunZhu Lin, who was commissioned specifically for this exhibit. The exhibit is on display in the CIWC through Friday, December 19.

The day ended with a fireworks show on the Wesleyan golf course at sunset. One guest from the community, a Chinese native now living in Macon, said the day “was fantastic - the best ever and most comprehensive presentation of the components and elements of the Chinese culture.”

In the summer of 2004, Reverend Bill Hurdle had an idea, and it was a good idea! “Let’s create a group of students called Wesleyan Disciples,” he said to President Ruth Knox and Dean Patty Gibbs. “Let’s make it an inclusive, diverse group of Christians and ask them to make a commitment to faith and service. Let’s give them a modest stipend and, in exchange, ask them to provide leadership for Sunday chapel services and Bible study.”

The idea inspired President Knox and the board of trustees, many of whom have been generous supporters of the program from its inception. In the spring of 2005, Reverend Hurdle invited six students who were among the regular worshippers at the Sunday evening service to become the first Wesleyan Disciples. They represented the kind of religious and racial diversity that Reverend Hurdle envisioned for the group. Today there are twenty-seven Wesleyan Disciples representing multiple ethnicities, multiple countries of residence, and eight branches or denominations of Christianity: Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Pentecostal, Baptist, Episcopalian, United Methodist, Nazarene, and non-denominational.

Nursing student Lauren Mitchell ’15 has been a Wesleyan Disciple since her first year on campus and now serves as chapel planning chair. She said that participation in the program has added to her own spiritual growth, fostering her dream to open a nursing home one day. “Participating in Wesleyan Disciples means being able to lead by example. Being a leader is more than a title; it’s an action.” Lauren hopes that something she says or does “will spark in someone an initiative and a response that will affect her life in a meaningful way.”

Lauren and her peers plan and lead worship services every Sunday evening in the Benson Room in Candler Alumnae Center and participate in weekly Bible study. In addition, Disciples serve the campus and

community through the Lane Center, local churches, and community agencies.

The Disciples look forward to the opening of Pierce Chapel next spring and to their new home in the Lovick P. Corn Center for Campus Ministry located on the lake level of the Chapel.

Another senior Golden Heart, Katy Trietsch, says, “I do not believe that I would be the same leader on campus without my Disciples experience. I was first asked to play my guitar during Chapel services and then went on to serve on the Wesleyan Disciple board. [The program] is a beautiful way for our Disciples to come together and learn more about our spirituality. It has been an incredible experience to lead Bible study and a wonderful time to watch and learn along with my sister Disciples.”

Christina Mayfield ’15, who also serves on the Wesleyan Disciples board, echoed Katy’s sentiments, “This organization has given me the chance to worship with students of various denominations and participate in weekly fellowship and Bible studies. Wesleyan Disciples is a unique form of support that has motivated me throughout my years at Wesleyan.”

2015 marks the tenth anniversary of Wesleyan Disciples. More than 120 students have served in the program and, like Lauren, Katy, and Christina, many have found opportunities to discern their call to ministry through leadership in campus ministry and frequent conversations with their ministry mentor, Bill Hurdle. In the decade since the program began, dozens of former Disciples have been active in lay ministries and community service, and at least seven have enrolled in seminary to prepare for full-time Christian ministry.

• Allyssa Green ’06, one of the six original Wesleyan Disciples in 2005, recently enrolled in Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta.

• Missy Ward Angalla ’09 earned the Master of Divinity degree at McAfee School of Theology at Mercer University with a concentration in social ethics. Missy is a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship missionary in Uganda, Africa.

• Maddie Allsup ’09 earned the Master of Divinity degree at Iliff School of Theology, Denver, Colorado. She currently teaches at the Amigos de Jesus School in Honduras.

• Megan Coggins ’09 completed her studies at the Methodist Theological School, Delaware, Ohio and is serving in a local church.

• Allison Marquis Otwell ’10 completed the Master of Theological Studies degree at Duke Divinity School and serves as a chaplain intern in Durham, North Carolina.

• Faith Richardson ’11 is completing her Master of Divinity and Master of Science degrees in clinical mental health counseling programs at McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta.

• Alaina Avera Harrison ’12 will complete the Master of Divinity program at Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 2015. Alaina and husband Greg lead United Methodist Foundation campus ministries in Macon.

Prospective students often contact Reverend Hurdle before they arrive on campus asking to join the program. He meets individually with each one, making sure she understands the expectations for worship, service, and commitment to spiritual growth and Christian witness. While only twelve of the current Disciples receive the modest stipend of $500 per semester, Reverend Hurdle’s dream is to secure scholarships for every student who would like to be a Wesleyan Disciple.

Alumnae Director Cathy Snow ’71 is planning a mini-reunion for former Wesleyan Disciples to celebrate the program’s tenth anniversary during the 2015 Alumnae Weekend, scheduled for April 17-19.

Service or Mary Knox McNeill or Margaret A. Pitts scholarships…before there was a

Debra Carter Williams ‘12 The College’s first Director of Campus Ministry When Debra Carter Williams ’12 returned to campus in August as director of campus ministry, she had to adjust to her new role as the peer of her former teachers. “I still think of them as my professors!” Debra entered Wesleyan in 2008 as a full-time Encore student after twenty years of active church ministry. She had served as senior pastor at nondenominational churches in Columbus, Ohio, Atlanta, Georgia, and Naples, Florida. After carefully researching colleges, she selected Wesleyan as the place to complete the preparatory work necessary to pursue an advanced degree in theology. While at Wesleyan, Debra was a Presidential Scholar and graduated summa cum laude in 2012 with a double major in religious studies and philosophy. When she applied for graduate school, Debra had to choose among offers from Harvard, Vanderbilt, Emory, Duke, and Yale. She gratefully accepted a full scholarship to Yale Divinity School where she graduated in 2014 with a master’s degree in religion with concentration in theology. As director of campus ministry at Wesleyan, Debra has two major areas of responsibility. The first is working with Wesleyan’s NetVUE (Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education) program, part of a national network of colleges and universities formed to enrich the intellectual and theological exploration of vocation among undergraduate

students. Debra works directly with student campus ministry assistants (CMA), student counselors representing the cultural and religious diversity on campus. Each CMA lives in one of five residence halls and serves as a spiritual presence there, fostering inclusivity and hospitality. “They also create a safe space for deep reflection on vocation and calling, thus encouraging students to discover their innate passion and purpose. This internal engagement and self reflection brings a greater sense of meaning to their academic journey and, ultimately, to their lives.”

Debra provides training and guidance for the CMAs who lead weekly gatherings designed to provide a time of respite in the students’ week and to establish a place for students to question, ponder, explore, grow, and develop. Debra also advises CMAs as they plan for speakers and special events such as the social media #GratitudeAttitude campaign launched in November. Debra’s second area of responsibility is working with the variety of faith-based student groups represented on campus including the Wesley Foundation, Baptist

Collegiate Ministries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Canterbury Club, and Catholic Newman Ministries. A member of Macon’s Centenary United Methodist Church, Debra plans to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree (D.Min.) from Duke University. That program, designed for students like Debra who are working in active ministry, allows her to take courses online and will require only summer sessions on the Durham, North Carolina, campus. In addition to her other duties, this spring Debra will be teaching a class at Wesleyan on the theology and history of Methodism. Debra finds Wesleyan’s diverse student population to be one of its greatest strengths. “The diversity on campus is central to the vibrancy of the Wesleyan experience. As director of campus ministry, I am reminded that we are part of a rich tapestry of religious expression woven by a God who cannot be defined by one strand of belief alone.”

The Class of 2018 arrived at Wesleyan from cities all over the country and around the world, including New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; Columbia, Maryland; Honolulu, Hawaii; St. Louis, Missouri; Kathmandu, Nepal; Beijing, China; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Quang Ngai, Vietnam; and towns across the state of Georgia. They brought their experiences, their intellect, their talents, and their hopes and dreams for the future, which they will share with one another over the next four years. Like all Wesleyannes, they will learn, lead, laugh, and make friends that will last a lifetime.

Representing the Class of 2018 as this year’s Fresh Face is Anna Grace Saxon of Macon, Georgia. A native of Madison, Mississippi, Anna moved to Macon at the age of nine when her mother and stepfather married. She attended Howard High School where her curriculum included numerous gifted, honors, and advanced placement (AP) courses, and she graduated with a 3.8 grade point average. In addition to her studies, Anna sang in the choir and served as secretary of Key Club and as a member of Beta Club. Anna was also active in her church and community. She served Forest Hills United Methodist Church as the youth worship leader, a Vacation Bible School worker for the last four years, and a mission volunteer. Anna also managed clothing and shoe donations for Fill It Up, Give It Away, a community-based food and clothing drive, and made monthly

trips to Strong Tower to work in the children’s ministry.

It was at church that Wesleyan trustee and outstanding recruiter Glennda Kingry Elliott ’65 first talked to Anna about attending Wesleyan and encouraged her to visit the campus. Anna loved the idea of a small college, professors who know their students’ names, interactive classes, and sisterhood. She applied to Wesleyan early in her senior year and was accepted.

In the spring of 2014, Anna returned to campus to compete during Scholarship Day and was awarded Wesleyan’s first John Huland Carmical Scholarship. The College received a generous grant from the John Huland Carmical Foundation in December 2013 to fund a four-year scholarship with the intent of attracting the “best and brightest” high school students from the State of Georgia to Wesleyan College. Carmical Scholars must be Georgia residents with excellent academic credentials who show evidence of good character, citizenship, and community involvement. Anna was

a perfect fit for the award. Majoring in early childhood education with a minor in psychology, she is enjoying her classes and has become involved with the Lane Center for Leadership and Service, volunteering as a tutor at Aunt Maggie’s Kitchen Table after-school program.

“Being the first recipient of the Carmical Scholarship was a wonderfully unexpected honor. I simply could not have enrolled without this scholarship assistance. I cannot imagine studying anywhere

else. I love being a Wesleyanne! I am so thankful to the John Huland Carmical Foundation for making my dream a reality,” Anna said.

The Wesleyan family is proud of all the young women who have joined the Class of 2018. Their aspirations include becoming a future surgeon, youth pastor, entrepreneur, pilot, NASA physicist, UN worker, news anchor, artist, coach, actress, and teacher. We look forward to getting to know these women and to watching them shine in the years to come.

Benefactors’ Day 2014

Honors Randolph W. Thrower

Wesleyan College celebrated the first Benefactors’ Day in more than fifty years on October 15, 2014, with student activities and a special celebration honoring Randolph W. Thrower and his lifetime of contributions to the College. Last spring President Ruth Knox called for a return to the once revered tradition of Benefactors’ Day as a way to honor all those who supported Wesleyan in the previous year, to teach our students about philanthropy, and to highlight one individual whose contributions to the College have been extraordinary. In preparation for Benefactors’ Day, the Office of Institutional Advancement held a TAG Night

(Thankful And Grateful) event on September 23 for first year students and recipients of major, named scholarships. Staff and faculty assisted as students -- fortified by a special candy buffet -- penned letters of appreciation to scholarship donors. Students also had an opportunity to craft messages of thanks to Wesleyan’s supporters on large class-color-coded tags, which were displayed on the walls of the Olive Swann Porter building on Benefactors’ Day. On October 15 students enjoyed a special cake dessert in Anderson Dining Hall as they filled a banner with personal messages of gratitude. (The banner was later displayed on

the Mount Vernon porch during the Faculty and Staff luncheon, which celebrated a near-100% participation in Wesleyan’s Annual Fund Campus Campaign.) On the evening of October 15, Wesleyan trustees, members of the Thrower family, and other guests gathered in Munroe Science Center to hear President Knox, who reminded the audience of the unparalleled contributions of Randolph Thrower to Wesleyan. Later she unveiled a pictorial tribute and a plaque naming the Randolph W. Thrower Wing of the Munroe Science Center.


Randolph W. Thrower was extraordinary in every way - as a lawyer, public servant, church leader, husband, father, uncle, and friend. He has received much acclaim for his lifetime of professional accomplishments and courageous public service, all well documented and deserved. The great blessing for us is that this most accomplished of men also found time to serve and care for Wesleyan College, devoting more than 50 years of his life to doing just that. His connection with Wesleyan began when he married Margaret Munroe ’35, who was an avid supporter throughout her life, too, from the time she was elected president of her senior class. Margaret was deeply devoted to Wesleyan, and Randolph quickly adopted her cause as his own. He was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1960, serving as chair from 1972 until 1981, and remaining a member of the board until his death. In all, six Wesleyan presidents – Earl Strickland, Fred Hicks, acting president Frederick Wilson, Robert Ackerman, Nora Kizer Bell, and Ruth Knox – relied on him as a trusted advisor. In the early years, when the College’s only development officer was the president, Randolph Thrower served as the unofficial development director. Then and in the following decades he worked tirelessly on

behalf of Wesleyan – writing letters, making calls, cultivating donors, encouraging staff, offering advice, and introducing the College to members of his enormous circle of influential friends, including those who were heads of foundations and philanthropists in their own right. Indeed, his particular talent was in winning friends for Wesleyan College, and the warm relationships the College enjoys with many notable foundations and individual donors today began with an introduction by Randolph Thrower. He seemed to know everyone, and he worked to see that his friends would come to know and love Wesleyan, too. In his 50 plus years of making notable contributions to Wesleyan, perhaps Randolph’s greatest was his pivotal role in shaping lead gifts that made the Munroe Science Center possible. The sisters Mary Gray Munroe Cobey ‘34, Julia Munroe Woodward ‘34, and Margaret Munroe Thrower ’35 were legendary for their enthusiastic support and love for Wesleyan. With their collective endowment of two teaching chairs in the sciences and of the scholarship and support funds for the Munroe Scholars program, their interest in the last two decades clearly had turned toward the sciences and to securing Wesleyan’s place as a first-rate center of

study. To that end, Randolph persuasively argued for a science building as the sisters’ culminating gift, and the Munroe sisters (and he) committed to contributing half the cost of a state-of-the-art science facility. The scope of the undertaking demanded all his creative powers in devising a complex plan that would leverage the sisters’ gifts along with his own in such a way that construction could begin. The plan worked brilliantly and in 2007 the Munroe Science Center opened its doors, a testament not only to the loyalty and generosity of the remarkable Munroe Sisters but also to the architect of the ingenious plan that made the Munroe Science Center a reality. We honor and recognize Randolph W. Thrower on Benefactors’ Day 2014 for his countless contributions and lifetime of exemplary service to Wesleyan College. With appreciation for his gifts of time, creativity, influence, leadership, counsel, and resources, we delight in naming this wing of the Munroe Science Center for him. Randolph W. Thrower, a great and accomplished man, always will be a beloved member of the Wesleyan family.

Located about a mile down Forsyth Road from Wesleyan is a restaurant named Jeneane’s, famous for serving some of Central Georgia’s best homemade fried chicken, butter beans, macaroni and cheese, and banana pudding. The staff are warm and friendly. They care about their customers and their customers care about them. Jeneane’s is like family.

Non-traditional nursing student Alicen Cross Hilton, Class of 2015, will attest to this fact, for it was at Jeneane’s that she met and became friends with Wesleyan Trustee Glennda Kingry Elliott ’65. “I would wait on Glennda and her mom. She knew I was a part-time student (at Macon State College, now Middle Georgia State College), and she would ask how school was going. I’d tell her it was hard but I was making it through. She’d always smile and tell me I should apply to Wesleyan. I would listen to her but deep down I believed that Wesleyan was way out of my reach. I was scared of change and didn’t know if I could afford it or if I was smart enough to go there.”

Alicen began working at Jeneane’s after graduating from high school in 2000, and for a while she took classes at Macon State. She married Richie Hilton and put her education on hold for a few years. In 2010, Alicen decided to re-enroll at Macon State and study to become a counselor for victims of abuse. “One of my core classes was biology. After a lecture about what happens when you swallow a bite of food, I was hooked on the miracle of the human body. I never dreamt I would pursue anything related to science, but it became my passion.” Alicen completed her core classes, plus anatomy and physiology, and applied for Macon State’s nursing program.

Glennda knew Alicen was interested in becoming a nurse and told her about Wesleyan’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. “I think every time I waited on Glennda she would plant another seed in my mind, and I am so glad she did. One day I waited on

Danielle Lodge (director of financial aid at Wesleyan), and she told me nursing scholarships were available and that she would help me look into a financial aid package. It was like God was paving the way for me to go to Wesleyan.”

Alicen came to campus and met with BSN Program Director Sirena Fritz to review her transcript. Alicen told Sirena she was worried about the entrance exam (Health and Environmental Science Institute, HESI). “Instead of an automatic response like ‘don’t worry, you’ll be fine…’ she asked me to tell her exactly what worried me. She listened and wanted to help. Glennda had told me that Wesleyan was a whole different world and an experience unlike anything else. She was so right!”

While Alicen was debating whether to transfer to Wesleyan, she received a telephone call from Sirena Fritz informing her that she had the highest score on the HESI exam, which earned her Wesleyan’s first Thomas C. Burke Nursing Scholarship. “I wish I could describe how I felt when I received that call. I thought, ‘Is this really happening? Should I pinch myself!’ The scholarship was a dream come true. Wesleyan offered so many things I longed for in my heart, a lot of things I lacked. I believe receiving the scholarship was God’s and everyone else’s way of saying, ‘I believe in you. Take this gift and do great things.’” And so she did. Alicen enrolled in Wesleyan’s first cohort of BSN students and began her nursing courses fall semester 2013. Today she ranks in the top ten percent of her class.

Alicen had worked at Jeneane’s for thirteen years. After she began taking classes at Wesleyan, she reduced her hours to work only on Sundays so she could devote more time to her studies. Later, she accepted a position as a nurse extern at the Medical Center of Central Georgia requiring that she leave her beloved job at Jeneanes’s.

According to Alicen, a nurse extern shadows nurses on their twelve-hour

shifts, receiving invaluable one-on-one training. “This training offers a lot of interaction with patients. I’m learning therapeutic communication techniques, physical assessment skills, and how to listen to patients. Nurses serve people who are in their most vulnerable states. Patients and families share very personal things with a nurse. It is humbling.”

Alicen especially appreciates Wesleyan’s nursing faculty. “The professors are top notch and will go out of their way to help students understand any concept no matter how long it takes. They are invested in my success and in my future. They care about me. They are incredible!”

About her classmates, Alicen said she cannot describe what it is like to have twenty-four women who are just as interested in one another’s success as they are in their own. “If one of us falls, the others gather around and pull her up. Sometimes they put her on their backs and carry her until she can gain the strength to keep going. I’ve never seen anything like it. I have made many friendships that will last forever. This is my family.”

Alicen still stops by Jeneane’s, especially when she feels overwhelmed or when school gets hard. “The people I worked with and the people I used to wait on continue to encourage me to this day. They pulled for me even when I wasn’t able to pull for myself. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I love them.” Glennda Elliott is one of Alicen’s biggest fans and supporters. “It has been my privilege to watch Alicen evolve in the nursing program. I have seen this young woman who was scared, insecure, and anxious become a beautiful example of just what young women can do when they don’t let ‘I can’t’ get in their way. I am sure that as a nurse Alicen will be the epitome of professionalism and will care for her patients just as lovingly as she did for her ‘family’ at Jeneane’s.”

A journey of destiny

Wesleyan magazine Winter 2014Photo by Steve Schroeder

“You assume this awesome responsibility that can’t be put into words. You have someone’s life in your hands. A precious soul is trusting you.

It’s like you’ve been plucked up from the little bubble you’ve lived in and people are looking to you for

answers, for support, for help. And deep down, you don’t know how you will do this or why you were

chosen to do this, but by becoming a nurse, you have become a vessel.” – Alicen Cross Hilton ’15

Old jerseys find a new home If you found a bunch of old Wesleyan athletic jerseys in the back of a closet in your office, what would you do with them? Wesleyan Soccer Coach Paige Hightower put the jerseys she found in a box and sent them to needy children in Haiti. “A family I’ve been friends with for many years goes on mission trips to Haiti every year. They usually collect shoes to take to the people they visit. I contacted them because I knew they would know the right place to send our uniforms,” Paige said. When Coach Hightower found another set of uniforms in her office closet, she sent them to children in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in West Africa.

Newly acquired Naegele portrait added to Wesleyan Treasures Now on display in the West Gallery of the Porter Family Memorial Fine Arts Building, is a newly acquired portrait by Charles Naegele. The portrait is of Anne Elizabeth Lyle (Harper) who, between the years 1906 and 1916, served as secretary to the president of Wesleyan College, as the College’s treasurer, business office administrator, and stenography teacher. China’s three most powerful women, the Soong sisters, were among her students. Former Wesleyan theatre student Terry L. Mock of Decatur, Georgia, donated the painting to the College, having received it from the estate of Helen Kogel Denton. The portrait came with a typed letter from the artist, referencing U.S. Justice Beverly D. Evans’ comments regarding the excellence and value of Naegele’s portraits and paintings; a handwritten letter (dated September 29, 1943) from the artist to Mrs. Harper thanking her for her support during his “health crises;” and copies of Mrs. Denton’s memberships in Daughters of the American Republic and Daughters of the Barons of Runnymede. Customarily, portraits by Charles Naegele are closely held by the families of the subject, but Wesleyan is honored to have several in our collection, including portraits of Olive Swann Porter and her husband James Hyde Porter, on view in the lobby of the Olive Swann Porter Building, and of Georgie Collier Comer, Cowles Myles Collier’s daughter, in the lobby of the Porter Fine Arts Building.

New name, new director, and new location for The Lane Center Jill Amos ’87 has been named director of The Lane Center for Service and Leadership (formerly the Lane Center for Community Engagement and Service). A 1987 graduate of Wesleyan College with majors in psychology, social services, and religious studies, Jill has spent most of her professional career serving children, youth, and families through foster care initiatives in Georgia and throughout the United States. She brings to her new role a love for Wesleyan, a strong professional background, enthusiasm for the position, and a desire to connect with students and community agencies to implement the programs of the Lane Center. Jill began her work in mid-October in the Lane Center’s new location on the ground floor of the Olive Swann Porter Building.


Pierce chapel crowned in August On August 27, 2014, Pierce Chapel got its crowning touch. As members of both the Wesleyan and Macon communities watched, Chris R. Sheridan & Co. workers used a large crane to hoist the Chapel’s steeple onto its base and then lift the massive metal tower into the center of the building’s roof. Workers then bolted the structure to I-beams attached to the building’s steel framing. Manufactured in Virginia, the steeple, designed by Cole and Cole Architects of Montgomery, Alabama, measures 58 feet 6 inches from its base to the top of the cross, has a 13-by-13-foot base, and weighs 6,000 pounds. The cross topping the structure is 6 feet tall. Earlier in the day, Wesleyan students, faculty, and staff gathered under a tent in view of the steeple to sign their names on a metal insert that was later installed in the steeple. The insert will live in perpetuity, serving as a reminder to future generations of the historic event. President Knox stated that the steeple is a visible symbol of the building’s wider purpose, which is to be the center of the campus’ spiritual life. “Pierce Chapel is an integral part of our mission – our grounding in faith,” she said. Construction of Pierce Chapel is expected to be complete early next year with a formal dedication to be held in Spring 2015. With a capacity of about 300, Pierce Chapel will provide space for campus-wide worship services, religious life programming, recitals, and weddings. It will also house the chaplain’s office.

Campus NewsNew teepee a lesson in teamwork As part of a boot camp on spatial reasoning, Professor of Education Patrick Pritchard led a team of STEM scholarship students in constructing a teepee on the quad in August. Using materials obtained from Native Americans in Montana, the STEM students - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – cut and shaped poles and erected the elliptical cone. “The students learned to put the pieces together to form a three-dimensional living space,” Pritchard said. The group painted their handprints on the canvas, forever linking them to their handiwork. Once the teepee was complete, Pritchard gathered the students inside for a dedication using an authentic smudge. He lit a dried bunch of sage, which gave off the smoky aroma of incense, and each student shared thoughts about the project. The teepee’s final home will be the arboretum’s natural playground.

Music in the Arboretum, a house concert Fifty guests gathered in Dice R. Anderson Cabin October 24 for Music in the Arboretum, a house concert featuring Caroline Herring. One of the South’s most distinctive singer/songwriters, Caroline has been featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion. For more than fifteen years, she has performed around the world and has produced seven award-winning albums. Grammy Award winner Mary Chapin Carpenter sings on Caroline’s latest release, Camilla. Organized by Dr. Patrick Pritchard, Wesleyan Center for Educational Renewal director and professor of education, Music in the Arboretum is a new campus cultural event that will occur each fall and spring in the Anderson Cabin and feature acoustic music by noted performers. According to Pritchard, “House concerts give top-notch artists opportunities to connect personally with their fans. Usually with an audience of fifty or fewer, house concerts have an intimacy not found in any other performance setting.” At this inaugural event, guests brought picnic baskets and enjoyed socializing before the concert. The spring concert to be held on April 12, 2015 will feature musicians Mark Johnson and Emory Lester.

Arboretum wins forestry award The Wesleyan College Arboretum was recently honored with the Georgia Urban Forest Council’s Outstanding Greenspace Plan Grand Award for 2014. Dr. James Ferrari, arboretum director and professor of biology, accepted the award on behalf of the College during the 24th Annual Awards Luncheon on October 22, at the Classic Center in Athens, Georgia. Each year, as part of its mission to sustain Georgia’s green legacy by helping communities grow healthy trees, Georgia Urban Forest Council rewards individuals, organizations, businesses, municipalities, and counties for outstanding work in protecting and enhancing our community. In 2013, the Wesleyan Arboretum received accreditation by the Morton Registry of Arboreta, which recognizes arboreta and other public gardens that have a substantial focus on woody plants for the benefit of the public, science, and conservation.Mary Hardin Thornton, President of the Georgia Urban Forest Council, Dr. James Ferrari, Wesleyan College Arboretum Director and Professor of Biology, and Gary White, Forest Management Chief for the Georgia Forestry Commission

WesFest: Live Music on the Quad On October 4, Wesleyan’s Office of Student Affairs debuted WesFest, the College’s first annual live music concert and festival. The free event was held on the quad and featured some of the area’s most popular bands and solo artists who played through the season’s first chilly afternoon and into the evening. Four party-sized inflatables kept children - and Wesleyannes – entertained for hours. Several campus organizations set up tents and booths and held mini-fundraisers. The ACT (ACTivist Movement) booth washed pets for a small fee and invited dog-kissing for an even smaller fee. The Pirate Class of 2017 painted faces and made bracelets to sell while the international organization AXIS sold henna tattoos and balloon animals. The Equestrian Club had a game booth where children threw bean bags shaped like carrots through a cardboard horse’s mouth. Each child was given a show ribbon and candy as her prize. Papa John’s Pizza, Nu Way Weiners, and Aramark (Wesleyan’s food service) sold pizza, hotdogs, and other classic fare such as chips, candy, and drinks. The fun, family-friendly day was free and open to the public. People from across Central Georgia enjoyed the day with their children and pets.


Second Cohort of BSN students receive white coats Thirty students were welcomed into Wesleyan College’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program during a White Coat ceremony on August 22, 2014. The second cohort of Wesleyan nursing students and their families were greeted by Program Director and Assistant Professor of Nursing Sirena Fritz, College Chaplain Rev. William Hurdle, President Ruth Knox, and Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Vivia Fowler. At the close of the ceremony, students joined other nurses in attendance in reading the Professional Nurse’s Pledge. Each student received a white lab coat, a nursing bag, and, thanks to the Arnold P. Gold Foundation (APGF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the gift of the Humanism Lapel Pin. Wesleyan is one of only 100 schools of nursing nationwide, and only three schools in Georgia, selected to receive funding to pilot White Coat Ceremonies. The ceremonies are designed to instill a commitment to providing compassionate care among future healthcare professionals. White Coat Ceremonies have been an important rite of passage at medical schools for more than twenty years, and this new collaboration between APGF and AACN marks the first time a coordinated effort has been developed to offer similar events at schools of nursing. Wesleyan’s first cohort of nursing students earned their place in the program fall semester of 2013 and will graduate in May 2015.

2014 Faculty Research Symposium Provost Vivia Fowler suspended afternoon classes on October 21, for students, staff, and faculty to attend the Wesleyan College Faculty Research Symposium The Unfinished Story: Transitions and Transformations. Following a panel discussion in Taylor Hall’s Peyton Anderson Amphitheare featuring professors Dr. Libby Bailey, Dr. Michael Muth, Dr. Melanie Doherty, and Dr. Virginia Wilcox, presentations were made by twenty faculty members at four venues around campus. A wide range of topics included Fruit-Eating Habits from Mist-Netted Birds, A Rhetorical Analysis of Disney’s Television Princesses, and Cognitive Consequences of Adolescent Drug Use.

“This annual event gives everyone on campus the opportunity to be challenged, enlightened, and engaged by the world-class scholarship of our professors” - Provost Fowler

Pioneer Book Club is a collaborative alumnae event sponsored by the Wesleyan College Alumnae Association that reconnects alumnae to life on campus and to one another through a common reading experience. This fall the Alumnae Association invited all alumnae to read The Butterfly’s Daughter, winner of the 2011 International Book Award for green Fiction, by New York Times bestselling author and Wesleyan’s 2015 Katharine Payne Carnes lecture Series speaker mary Alice monroe. ms. monroe will visit Wesleyan and speak to the campus community on January 22, 2015.

According to Carnes lecture Series Chair Jane Price Claxton ’68, “The 2014 Pioneer Book Club reading experience serves as a prelude to the upcoming Carnes lecture Series. reading The Butterfly’s Daughter will give alumnae a sense of who mary Alice monroe is as a writer. In addition, readers will experience her ability to integrate in her work both the complexities of the human psyche and the splendor of nature.”

Alumnae from 12 cities, including five in georgia, as well as from cities in Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, ohio, texas, New York, and Virginia volunteered to host Book Club events and open their homes for conversation, refreshments, and book discussions in october and November.

Wesleyan Alumnae Association President Ashley garrett ’90 hosted an event in Athens and said, “We had such a good time at our Pioneer Book Club dinner! It’s a fun way to meet alumnae from other generations—we had a 40 year span among our attendees.”

gREEN kNighTs will go down in history as the winners of Wesleyan’s first Alumnae Color Rush on November 13, 2014. Love for Wesleyan and friendly competition among the classes motivated 93 Green Knights, 51 Golden Hearts, 76 Purple Knights, and 45 Pirates to participate in the event, which was held in conjunction with Georgia Gives Day, a statewide 24-hour giving event. Together with 22 staff members and other friends of the college, this enthusiastic group raised $14,149 to support the students who celebrate sisterhood on our campus today.

Thanks to donor support throughout the day, Wesleyan won an additional $5,500 in Georgia Gives Day prizes funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Wesleyan College ranked first in Bibb County and seventh in the state for total number of donors and second in Bibb County for total dollars raised. The College also won the evening Power Hour by having the most donors from 6:00-7:00 p.m. In total, Wesleyan received nearly $20,000 in gifts and prizes on Georgia Gives Day to support the Annual Fund.

Dr. Tom Ellington, associate professor of political science at Wesleyan, was awarded a Fulbright Scholar Grant to teach at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, during spring semester 2014. Active in more than 155 countries, the Fulbright Program selects its recipients based on academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership in their fields. Each year the core Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program provides approximately 800 teaching and/or research grants to U.S. faculty and experienced professionals in a wide variety of academic and professional fields. Recipients teach, conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Tom was selected as a senior scholar to teach a course at Ewha in political processes in modern democracies.

Not content to limit his travels to Asia, Ellington spent more than a month hiking in France and Spain. “Korean universities start their spring semester later than most American institutions, so I had some time on my hands between the end of my duties in Macon and the beginning of classes at Ewha. In December (2013), I moved out of my apartment and put all my belongings in storage, then left for Europe with a twenty-pound backpack and a pair of trekking poles.” In just over a month, Ellington walked the Camino de Santiago across the Pyrenees Mountains from France into Spain, making his way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela where St. James the apostle may be buried. Sometimes he walked in rain or snow. Sometimes he walked in solitude, and sometimes he walked with others along the route that pilgrims have been walking for more than 1,000 years.

After returning to Macon to repack his bags, Ellington flew to Korea where from March to June he taught comparative politics and political theory to a class of nearly fifty students. Ranked as a top twenty university in South Korea, Ewha is the world’s largest women’s university and has graduated most of the women executives in Korea’s top 100 companies. Boasting nearly 25,000 students in its nine undergraduate colleges and fifteen graduate schools, Ewha’s classes are much larger than Wesleyan’s, too large to teach seminar style.

In addition to teaching, Ellington spent much of his time doing research in Ewha’s library, which he described as exceptional. Relying on a limited knowledge of Hangul, Korea’s official script, rudimentary language skills, and the assistance of a Korean co-author, Ellington was able to do the necessary research and writing for his project on Korea’s National Intelligence Service. He presented his research paper, Pulling Back from the Brink: Politics and Society in Transition, in November at the Georgia Political Science Association’s 2014 Annual Conference in Savannah.

Tom was in Korea when the Sewol ferry sank on April 16. The disaster claimed the lives of 284 people, primarily students on a field trip, causing deep sadness throughout the country. “It was a sad time and even a month later concerts and events were canceled because no one could smile or enjoy celebrations. Yellow ribbons were commonplace as many people mourned the needless loss of these young people.”

Throughout his teaching exchange Ellington made new friends and developed a deeper understanding of customs and cultural differences. “One of the customs in Korea is communal dining when eating out. Everyone pulls food from common dishes and you can’t even pour your own drink. Everyone is responsible for

other people at the table. It’s a good custom, just different from our American traditions.”

His cultural experience spanned two continents and, like many travelers, Ellington was glad to come home after six months of hiking, making acquaintances who spoke various languages, sleeping in hostels, teaching in a lecture setting, researching a new project, and learning a new language. He was especially glad to return to Wesleyan where his students awaited him and the stories of his travels.

In the summer of 2007, Ellington served as a visiting professor at Sookmyung Women’s University, also in Korea.

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. Since its inception more than 60 years ago, the Fulbright Program has provided approximately 325,000 grants for U.S. citizens to go abroad and for non-U.S. citizens to come to the United States. The Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and is sponsored by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
