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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
