Timeline

    Memories & Milestones

    In 2013, Wes­ley Col­lege cel­e­brates 140 years of impact in the com­mu­nity and, most impor­tantly, in the lives of stu­dents. Our theme for the year is “Mem­o­ries and Mile­stones” which cap­tures the his­tor­i­cal events and the per­sonal sto­ries that res­onate with us all—whether we were actu­ally in atten­dance or sim­ply see­ing and hear­ing fond rec­ol­lec­tions. We hope you enjoy the time­line of mem­o­ries and we have created.

Features

Sellitto Endowment

The Matthew C. Sel­l­itto Foun­da­tion recently awarded a grant of $100,000 to Wes­ley Col­lege. The dona­tion will be used as an endowed fund to pro­vide sup­port to under­priv­i­leged stu­dents from urban envi­ron­ments attend­ing Wes­ley College.

Delaware’s Sandman

When Lyron Deputy AS ’99, MSN ’06, first entered Wes­ley in 1997, he never imag­ined he would end up where he is today: CEO of Delaware Sleep Dis­or­der Cen­ters, a sleep study provider that serves 5,000 patients annu­ally. He cred­its his expe­ri­ences at Wes­ley with pro­vid­ing the edu­ca­tional back­ground and espe­cially the courage he needed to take the huge step from staff nurse at a hos­pi­tal to suc­cess­ful nurse entrepreneur.

Wesley College Trustees Honored

Two long­time Wes­ley Col­lege Board of Trustees were hon­ored as they retired from ser­vice on May 10. Ann L. Bur­ton (23 years) and Rev. Dr. James T. Sey­mour (14 years) were each named Trustee Emer­i­tus for their ded­i­ca­tion and com­mit­ment to the College.

Q & A With Cathy Nosel

Since devel­op­ing an insti­tu­tional strate­gic plan five years ago, Wes­ley Col­lege has remained com­mit­ted to fol­low­ing through on ini­tia­tives that will help grow its resources and sup­port. To that end the Office of Insti­tu­tional Advance­ment has reor­ga­nized its team of pro­fes­sion­als to bet­ter meet the chal­lenges ahead. One of the changes includes Cathy Nosel’s new role as direc­tor of alumni rela­tions and annual giving.

Having a Ball

Wes­ley Soc­cer Alumni gath­ered in record num­bers on Sat­ur­day, March 23 at Fado Irish Pub & Restau­rant in Philadel­phia, Pa. Ed Muntz and Steve Clark, head coaches of the women’s and men’s soc­cer teams respec­tively, part­nered with the Office of Alumni Rela­tions to host the event. It allowed for­mer play­ers of both pro­grams and their spouses or guests to come together and social­ize, while recount­ing Wes­ley memories.

Nothing But Net

With the loss of Chris Dou­glas and Dar­rell John­son to grad­u­a­tion and a slew of new­com­ers thrown into the fray, not many knew what to expect from the 2012–13 men’s bas­ket­ball team. An impres­sive sum­mer trip to Mon­treal changed all of that as the improve­ment of vet­eran play­ers like David Lan­gan, Eric Selby and Quincy Pet­ti­ford was quite evi­dent. From there, the Wolver­ines knew they might have some­thing spe­cial as return­ing All-CAC per­former Paul Reynolds pre­pared for his senior season.
