    Heart of the Campus: New Plazas Help Transform the College

    “Transformative”…that’s how peo­ple have described Wesley’s new North and South Plazas. The his­toric set­ting of Wes­ley College’s cam­pus has been trans­formed from a dis­con­nected col­lec­tion of build­ings near the cen­ter of Dover to a clearly defined col­le­giate environment.

Pioneers for Future Generations

To be on a cam­pus these days is to wit­ness a col­lege more inte­grated than most in this coun­try: nation­ally, 14 per­cent of col­lege stu­dents are African Amer­i­can; Wesley’s minor­ity pop­u­la­tion well exceeds that. That wasn’t always the case, as alum­nae Glo­ria James ’73, the Rev­erend Char­lotte Nichols ’73 and Peggi (Young) Wat­son ’73 well know.

Expanding Honors

Since 2005, Wes­ley College’s hon­ors pro­gram has been a sym­bol for out­stand­ing scholas­tic prowess and per­sis­tence, nur­tur­ing a group of stu­dents who excel amongst their peers in their aca­d­e­mic accom­plish­ments at Wes­ley. In seven years, enroll­ment has tripled in size. Incom­ing stu­dents must now be placed on a wait­ing list to join the program.

Recognizing Excellence

Wes­ley Col­lege won the Cor­po­ra­tion of the Year Award dur­ing the Cen­tral Delaware Cham­ber of Commerce’s Excel­lence in Busi­ness Awards Din­ner on June 28, 2012.
