Dear Alumni and Friends,

Progress and pos­i­tive momen­tum con­tinue at Wes­ley, thanks to your sup­port and encour­age­ment. The new North and South Plazas have been com­pleted and have made an amaz­ing dif­fer­ence in the col­le­giate atmos­phere and esthet­ics of the cam­pus. Alumni, stu­dents, fac­ulty, staff and com­mu­nity mem­bers are delighted with the new space that helps rede­fine Wes­ley College.

In addi­tion to the safety fea­tures of con­vert­ing cross streets through cam­pus into pedestrian-friendly walk­ing malls with benches, the stu­dents have been tak­ing advan­tage of the avail­able Wi-Fi access and using the
space as a place to con­nect. In Octo­ber, the col­lege com­mu­nity cel­e­brated the plazas with two ribbon-cutting events, one fea­tur­ing Delaware Gov­er­nor Jack Markell and a sec­ond cel­e­bra­tion with alumni at Homecoming.

The plazas became a real­ity because the Col­lege and the larger com­mu­nity believe in Wes­ley and rec­og­nize the plazas will serve stu­dents for future gen­er­a­tions. Thank you for your sup­port for this endeavor.

Our next project is the acqui­si­tion of the J. Allen Frear Fed­eral Build­ing. This 36,000-square-foot facil­ity, built in 1974, will be ren­o­vated to become our new Health Sci­ences Build­ing. With the ever-growing demand for health care pro­fes­sion­als, Wes­ley is poised to meet that chal­lenge through our highly regarded nurs­ing pro­gram. Located only blocks away from the main cam­pus, this facil­ity will lit­er­ally open doors to new learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for our students.

Other top­ics in this issue of Wes­ley mag­a­zine include the Col­lege being named “Cor­po­ra­tion of the Year,” impres­sive growth in the hon­ors pro­gram, fac­ulty and stu­dent accom­plish­ments, and the Honor Roll of Donors that rec­og­nizes indi­vid­u­als and orga­ni­za­tions who have pro­vided finan­cial sup­port for Wes­ley this past fis­cal year. Please keep in con­tact with alumni, friends and fac­ulty at Wes­ley and visit when­ever you are able. As always, thank you for your won­der­ful sup­port of this deserv­ing college.

Most sin­cerely,
