LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
Another year has flown by, and we have once again celebrated many century old traditions and launched exciting new initiatives. I know you will enjoy reading about some of those in this issue of our magazine.
In a rapidly changing world, some have come to question the value of a college education. It is indeed healthy and necessary for academic institutions to confirm that they continue to offer their students degrees that will provide them the expertise needed for the contemporary workforce while simultaneously allowing each student to thrive through individual exploration and opportunity. At Wesleyan, we have long traditions of ensuring our graduates have the skills to face personal and professional challenges and are ready to make vital contributions to their communities. I must offer deep thanks to our faculty, staff, and all others who put countless hours into the reviews and assessments that have led to our new academic structures and to our outstanding and innovative community-based learning initiatives. In this issue, Provost Melody Blake provides a succinct introduction to our new academic organization, and you can read about the highly successful inaugural year of our Wesleyan Discovery Days program.
As you all know, the Wesleyan experience is much more than just the classroom. We have added beach volleyball to our varsity athletics program and the upcoming year will be an exciting season of change and growth for our athletic programs. For generations, STUNT has been a treasured part of student life and as you will read STUNT has once again revitalized itself and will continue to offer students amazing opportunities to perform, connect with others, or simply marvel watching classmates impressively display what had previously been hidden talents.
As we continue to tell the story of the Wesleyan experience our enrollment will increase with larger entering classes and greater retention. We will need expanded resources to support these new initiatives and new students. Consequently, we have launched our ambitious “She Will” campaign which I hope you follow and support as we build the foundation for the next chapters of our story.
In coming months, you are likely to see many pictures of our remarkable students and alumnae showing the commitment, perseverance, and
unyielding determination that superbly illustrates the She Will campaign. But there is another resonance of “She Will” that I have come to appreciate very deeply. The “She” can refer to our cherished Wesleyan itself. In the past thirty years, over half of the women’s colleges in the United States have closed or gone co-ed. That only makes fulfilling our mission even more vital. Commitment, perseverance and unyielding determination are what have allowed an institution founded when the United States had just admitted its 25th state to survive through depressions and recessions, Civil and World Wars, and social and technological changes that would make our world, but not Wesleyan’s mission, unrecognizable to our founders.
Will Wesleyan continue to provide education, opportunity, and lifelong friendships to women leaders who will make a positive difference in our local and world communities?
Thanks to you, SHE WILL.
Sincerely,
Meaghan Blight President, Wesleyan College
A YEAR WORTH CELEBRATING
Since 1836, Wesleyan College has stood as a symbol of progress, possibility and purpose. With her mission of accelerating equality for women at the forefront, Wesleyan continues to lead—not only in Middle Georgia but on the global stage.
Few academic years have so powerfully reflected that legacy and momentum as 2024–25.
In a historic step forward, Wesleyan publicly launched SHE WILL: THE $61 Million Campaign for Wesleyan College—the largest philanthropic campaign in the College’s history. With nearly $29 million already pledged at the time of launch, SHE WILL aims to invest boldly in people, programs and infrastructure that ensure Wesleyan remains a leader in women’s education for generations to come.
The year also marked Wesleyan’s third consecutive win as Best
College/University in Middle Georgia, an honor voted on by the local community. This recognition reflects our continued commitment to academic excellence, inclusive leadership and meaningful community engagement.
“Being named Best of Middle Georgia College/University for the third year in a row is more than an honor—it reflects the strength of our community, our bold vision and Wesleyan’s deep commitment to empowering women through education,” said President Meaghan Blight. “We’re grateful for the continued support and energized to keep building a future where women lead with confidence and purpose.”
That forward momentum was visible in bold new beginnings— especially in athletics. In spring 2025, the College unveiled WesBeach, a brand-new sand
volleyball facility, and welcomed the inaugural beach volleyball team to campus. The Wolves quickly made history by securing their first win just days into the season. In that same spirit, Wesleyan also announced plans to field the first collegiate women’s hockey team in Middle Georgia—another major milestone in a growing athletics program.
Wesleyan’s commitment to innovation extended beyond sports. The College opened a new Entrepreneurship Lab, creating space for students to explore ideas, launch ventures and collaborate across disciplines. Wesleyan also partnered with Microsoft to host AI and the Art of Possibility, a campus wide event series examining the intersection of artificial intelligence, creativity and social change.
Whether through record-setting fundraising, trailblazing athletics or future-focused programming, Wesleyan’s momentum in 2024–25 proves one thing clearly: the mission to accelerate equality for women is not just alive—it’s expanding.
And in every corner of campus, there’s proof Wesleyan isn’t just celebrating the past. She’s creating what comes next.
SHE WILL
In April 2025, in the midst of her annual alumnae weekend celebration, Wesleyan College stepped confidently into a new era with the public launch of SHE WILL: The $61 Million Campaign for Wesleyan College.
The most ambitious fundraising initiative in the institution’s nearly 200-year history, SHE WILL embodies Wesleyan’s bold commitment to expanding access, accelerating equality and preparing the next generation of women to lead.
With nearly $29 million already pledged at the time of launch, the campaign debuted with powerful momentum. That early success was fueled in part by a transformational $5 million lead gift from the Brown and Swearingen families, including Sylvia Maxwell Brown ’63; Trustees Stan Brown and Mary Beth (Brown) Swearingen ’89; and her husband, Dennis Swearingen, whose generosity set the tone for what SHE WILL represents: a unified investment in people, place and purpose.
“This is more than a capital campaign,” President Meaghan Blight said. “It’s an investment in what’s possible when women are supported, challenged and seen. When she believes she can, we help ensure she will.”
At its heart, SHE WILL is about building a Wesleyan where every student finds a pathway to success. The campaign will expand financial aid and scholarship support, especially for first-generation college students. It will strengthen mentorship and leadership programs, providing students with tools to grow in confidence and character.
The campaign will also breathe new life into Wesleyan’s historic residence halls and gathering spaces, ensuring that the physical environment reflects the excellence of the campus experience.
Wesleyan’s beloved Porter Gym will see a full renovation and expansion, transforming it into a modern facility fit for our growing athletic offerings. These updates not only enhance the student-athlete experience, but also reinforce the College’s belief in the power of athletics to instill resilience, discipline and voice.
While the campaign was officially unveiled during a celebratory moment on campus in conjunction with Alumnae Weekend, its vision reaches far beyond a single event. It calls on the extended Wesleyan community—alumnae, families, partners and friends—to come together and shape the next chapter in the College’s legacy of impact.
“This is about creating lasting, generational change,” said former College President Ruth Knox ’75, Chair of the SHE WILL Campaign. “It’s about making sure Wesleyan remains a place where transformation is possible—today, tomorrow and always.”
Knox will advocate for SHE WILL alongside campaign Vice Chair Alexis Bighley.
As SHE WILL moves forward, it carries the collective hope and determination of a College that has never wavered in its mission. And with every gift, every voice and every act of belief, Wesleyan writes a new future—one that begins, as it always has, with her.
ACADEMIC RESTRUCTURE: BUILDING
TOMORROW’S PROBLEM-SOLVERS
Dear Alumnae and Friends,
I am delighted to introduce you to some of the key features of our engaging and forward-looking new curriculum. The degree structures outlined below are the result of a remarkable collaborative effort from our dedicated faculty across Wesleyan and with further input from countless stakeholders who have helped us build on our strengths while preparing each student to follow her own passions and to lead effectively in her own style. And She Will.
Warm regards,
Melody
Dr. Melody Blake, Provost of the College and Vice President for Academic Affairs
As part of our First Now Forever strategic plan, Academic Affairs was charged with “developing academic initiatives that support interdisciplinary thinking and emphasize 21st century problemsolving skills.” We are excited to report that we have taken a big leap forward in our effort to meet that challenge.
Traditional higher education has long been structured around discrete academic disciplines; students specialize in English, History, Biology, or other single fields of study. This approach, while providing deep expertise within specific domains, increasingly falls short of preparing students for the complex, interconnected challenges of the modern world. Today’s most pressing issues--climate change, public health crises, technological ethics, social inequality--cannot be fully understood or addressed through the lens of any single discipline. These challenges require multiple perspectives and
diverse ways of thinking that transcend traditional academic boundaries.
To better prepare our students for these realities, we have begun reorganizing our academic structure to produce more interdisciplinary majors. We have transformed our six academic divisions and 12 departments into three interdisciplinary schools with nine academic departments. Each of our three new schools reflects this interdisciplinary approach.
New Schools
The School of Media, Arts and Culture houses our innovative new interdisciplinary major: Culture, Literature and Media. This unique program blends critical thinking from traditional English and Communication majors with creative production skills essential for 21st century careers. Students explore how humans use symbols (language, images, sounds) to create meaning and construct reality. The program features an interdisciplinary core plus two 18-hour concentrations, with options in Literature & Creative Writing, CrossCultural Communication, Media & Society, and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies. The School of Media, Arts and Culture also houses majors in Arts, Music, Arts Management, and our popular interdisciplinary program in Advertising and Marketing Communication. Dean Michael McGhee is overseeing this new school with plans to develop
even more interdisciplinary majors in the performing arts.
The School of Applied Sciences and Nursing, under the direction of Dean Deonna Tanner, houses our new Bachelor of Science degree in Biology programs. This retooled Biology program is the first of our new Bachelor of Science degrees. This B.S. option eliminates the foreign language requirement found in our B.A. program, allowing for greater flexibility in the in-depth study of technical majors while requiring additional coursework in mathematics, computer science, and laboratory sciences. The School of Applied Sciences and Nursing is also home to our Applied Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Psychology, Neuroscience and Nursing. Dean Tanner is excited to lead the school into thinking of ways to continue to add interdisciplinary courses to these popular majors.
The School of Global and Professional Studies, under the leadership of Dean Nick Steneck, is home to our Business and Education programs. It also houses our brand-new interdisciplinary History, Politics and Global Cultural Studies major. This new major integrates history, political science, religion, philosophy, and modern language and culture. The program prepares students to become engaged global citizens with the knowledge, skills, and values to address complex challenges in a rapidly changing world. Students will develop both specialized knowledge and integrative thinking skills, preparing them for careers in international relations, public service, and advocacy work where success demands the ability to synthesize diverse perspectives. All students will complete an interdisciplinary core plus two concentrations choosing from History and Culture Heritage, Politics, Governance, and Policy, Global Systems, or Comparative World Views: Religions, Philosophy, and Society.
Building on Our Foundation
These changes don’t diminish the value of traditional disciplines; instead, they build upon their strengths while creating new pathways for students to engage with multiple fields simultaneously. Our graduates will enter the workforce not just as specialists, but as innovative thinkers capable of bridging different areas of knowledge to solve complex problems.
This restructuring represents our commitment to honoring academic excellence while evolving to meet the demands of an increasingly interconnected world. We’re not abandoning our past; we’re building upon it to create an even stronger future for our students and our institution.
WELD DAYS
Discovery has always been a central component of a Wesleyan education, and our new Discovery Days initiative provides opportunities which allow every student to leave her comfort zone to learn in an unfamiliar environment and face new challenges.
Discovery Days are an essential element of the Wesleyan Experiential Learning and Discovery (WELD) program. The WELD initiatives continue Wesleyan’s long tradition of innovative pedagogy, provide students with marketable knowledge and skills, and help build our interconnected community. Discovery Days are offered on selected Fridays throughout the school year and are open to all students, staff, and faculty. Each Discovery Day is built around a specific theme and led by on campus experts, local Macon partners, and even national organizations. Themes in our first year included “Sharing Stories, Building Communities,” “Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” “Indigenous People and the Land,” “Equity and Inclusion,”
“Women and Gender,” and “Sustainability, Earth, and the Environment.” Each event took students to campus locations they may be unfamiliar with or on field trips around Macon. For the “Indigenous People and the Land” students traveled to Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, where Tracie Revis, Director of Advocacy for the Ocmulgee National Park and Preserve Initiative, guided participants to experience the past, present, and future of this space which has been important to Bibb County for thousands of years, while reflecting upon their own relationship with the important places in their lives.
Our Director of Experiential Learning, Alexis Gregg, observes “Discovery Days are valuable because they reflect the culture we strive to develop at Wesleyan, one rooted in curiosity, connection, and collaboration. They bring our campus and the Macon community together, engaging all constituents so that every student has the
opportunity to participate. These experiences give students the chance to learn beyond the classroom while building the communication, adaptability, and empathy that will serve and prepare them for any career field.” Professor Gregg particularly emphasizes the importance of ensuring every student can participate because longer, more costly experiential learning opportunities, such as travel abroad or summer-long internships, are simply inaccessible to many of Wesleyan’s students. Professor Gregg also notes that the structure of Discovery Days ensures individuals interact with members of their community they might not otherwise have any contact with, and the varied, innovative activities allow difficult topics to be addressed with all voices heard and in a manner that would be difficult to replicate in a typical classroom. Students, faculty, and all other participants learn new ways of delivering information and discussing issues, which they bring back to their various communities.
Dr. Chenny Gan, a 2002 graduate and Professor of Music, is the inaugural Discovery Day Coordinator. Dr. Gan reflects “After having a successful pilot year, we hope Discovery Days will become a signature Wesleyan event, one that brings our community together and sets our institution apart as THE place to get the best experiential learning. I am so honored and excited to be involved with the project from the beginning and look forward to another great year.” Dr. Gan encourages alumnae who have ideas for future Discovery Days, who want to support the program, or simply to participate in any upcoming events, to reach out to her directly.
Discovery Days once again put Wesleyan at the forefront as a student and community focused innovator in the education of our future leaders. For dates and topics of the 2025-2026 Discovery Days program, follow Wesleyan’s social media or visit the website where all events will be announced.
PREPARING FEMALE LEADERS FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE
At Wesleyan College, preparing women to lead is not just part of the mission—it is the mission. And in 2025, that mission is more integrated, more intentional and more visible than ever before.
Across campus and beyond, Wesleyan is actively investing in the people, programs and places that help students turn potential into purpose. Whether it’s building stronger professional pipelines, creating space for student innovation or ensuring those who choose Wesleyan continue to thrive here, the College’s commitment to women’s leadership is clear.
It’s bold. It’s strategic. And it’s just the beginning.
Wesleyan Opens E-Lab for Student Entrepreneurs
During the fall of 2024 Board of Trustees meetings, Wesleyan officially unveiled its Entrepreneurship Lab—better known as the E-Lab—a creative space where students can take bold ideas and turn them into business ventures. Packed with industrygrade tools including a 3D printer, heat press and professional-grade plotters, the E-Lab is more than a high-tech workspace—it’s a launchpad for student-owned startups and grassroots innovation.
Senior Simone Russell, who helped spearhead student involvement in the space, addressed the crowd at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Her words spoke not only to the potential of the E-Lab but
to the kind of confidence Wesleyan instills in its students:
“The E-Lab is a space that truly reflects Wesleyan’s dedication to equipping students with the tools, resources, and confidence to bring their entrepreneurial ideas to life,” Russell said. “It is exciting to see the college investing in a future where creativity and business can thrive together.”
CCD Expands Impact Through Strategic Investment
The Center for Career Development (CCD) has long been a cornerstone of the Wesleyan experience, offering students personalized coaching and support as they prepare for life after graduation. But recent investments—both in strategy and staffing—have propelled the CCD into a new era.
At the center of this transformation is Erin Bowler, director of the CCD, whose leadership has infused the office with renewed energy and purpose. From refining the Professional Development Education (PDE) curriculum to forging new internship partnerships, Bowler and her team are building intentional pathways between academic study and real-world application.
CEO Institute Enters Year Three with a Vision for Mentorship
Launched in 2022, the Creating Equal Opportunities (CEO) program was built to level the playing field for Wesleyan students entering the professional world. From day one, its focus has been clear: equip students with the habits, networks and confidence they need to not just get hired—but to lead, grow and thrive.
Now entering its third year, the program has evolved into a two-year model that offers returning participants the opportunity to become mentors themselves. That structure doesn’t just expand the reach of the program—it strengthens its impact. CEO alumnae are now becoming peer leaders, showing others what it looks like to walk into a boardroom, an interview or an internship and assert her presence with clarity and confidence.
“This program isn’t about a checklist,” said Arhana Ahuja ‘27. “It’s about becoming the kind of professional—and the kind of woman—you want to be.”
Wolf’s Den Contest Brings Entrepreneurial Spirit to Center Stage
On April 25, 2025, Wesleyan’s Pierce Chapel transformed into a hub of entrepreneurial energy as students took the stage for the inaugural Wolf’s Den Pitch Contest—a campus competition inspired by ABC’s Shark Tank and made possible through the generosity of donors.
The concept was simple: contestants pitched their business ideas to a panel of expert judges for a chance at real seed funding. But the impact was anything but small.
Part of Wesleyan’s growing commitment to student entrepreneurship, the Wolf’s Den Contest offered more than just an opportunity for financial backing—it gave students the platform to articulate their visions, defend their models and step into the mindset of a founder.
Spectators packed the venue during Alumnae Weekend, cheering on each pitch with the kind of support only a Wesleyan crowd can bring. In every presentation, there was a spark: boldness, creativity and a belief that business can be a vehicle for change.
Choosing Wesleyan—and Choosing It Again: A Commitment to Student Retention
In 2025, the launch of the “She Will” campaign signaled a bold new chapter for the College. But while the campaign is new, the mindset behind it isn’t. Wesleyan’s leadership has long believed that the most powerful transformation begins not just with access but with persistence—and that means ensuring the students who choose Wesleyan continue to choose it, year after year.
That commitment shows in the numbers. Retention rates are not only holding steady— they’re on the rise.
This momentum is the result of multiple missionaligned efforts: capital investments that meet students’ evolving needs, a willingness to reimagine academic structure for the modern world and a growing athletics program that fosters community and competition alike. Together, these investments are creating a campus experience that’s dynamic, supported and distinctly Wesleyan.
A TINY BEETLE WITH A BIG IMPACT: MUNIZA KHAN’S RESEARCH JOURNEY
In the shaded trails of the Wesleyan College Arboretum, senior biology major Muniza Khan spent her junior year uncovering the secret life of a small but mighty insect. Under the mentorship of Dr. Jim Ferrari, Khan led an in-depth ecological study of the twig-girdling beetle (Oncideres cingulata)—a species whose reproductive strategy is as unusual as it is impactful.
The beetle’s story begins high in the tree canopy. After laying her eggs in slender twigs, the female beetle chews a neat groove around the twig’s base—a behavior called girdling—that causes the branch to fall to the forest floor. There, the twig becomes a nursery, protecting developing larvae from predators and providing a rich food source.
Khan’s research focused on three key questions: what do girdled twigs typically look like, do beetles show preference for certain tree species in Georgia, and how does girdling timing align with autumn leaf fall?
Conducted across a full academic year, the project combined meticulous fieldwork with ecological insight, culminating in findings that hold both scientific and agricultural significance.
“We chose mockernut hickory, pignut hickory, and winged elm because they’re abundant in the arboretum and known beetle hosts,” Khan explained. Every two weeks, she and her team measured and cataloged freshly fallen twigs, checked leaf traps, and monitored the seasonal rhythms of the forest.
The results were striking: all 660 girdled twigs collected came exclusively from hickory trees— even though hickories made up just 32% of the large trees in the study plots. This revealed a clear host preference; however, perhaps most fascinating was the timing. The beetles girdled their twigs in mid-October—five weeks before the trees naturally shed their leaves. This early activity may allow beetle larvae to retain more nitrogen from
the still-living twigs, enhancing survival.
Beyond the forest, the implications stretch into Georgia’s economy. The state’s $212 million pecan industry could be threatened by these beetles, as pecans belong to the same family as hickories. “Our research could help pecan farmers anticipate and manage beetle activity,” Khan said, noting that understanding peak girdling times could guide preventive measures like pruning.
The experience, Khan said, was transformative. “This wasn’t just about beetles—it was about learning how science connects to real-world issues,” she reflected. “It taught me how to design experiments, analyze data and think critically about ecosystems.”
Next up, Khan plans to continue sharpening her professional skills through internships before graduating in May of 2026.
MEET RACHEL PAUL HARTMAN
You work closely with students, faculty, and staff. What have you observed about how resilience shows up at Wesleyan?
Our students are some of the most resilient people I have ever met. You would never know what difficulties the students I encounter have overcome. They carry around significant events that have happened in their life, such as a childhood that you could have never imagined or a family system that doesn’t support them. We all carry our own stories, but in this unique position, I’m able to hear many of them and to hear what each student is carrying. And I have learned that it is a testament to the type of student that comes to Wesleyan, which is an incredibly resilient student, gifted in unique ways because of this life experience that they’ve had.
How does Wesleyan’s commitment to service help foster community among students?
Both faith and service have had to do with identity formation, which to me is what college is all about. But for me, I think of faith and service as a continual loop. By exploring one’s faith through community groups and bible studies in or outside campus, you learn more about yourself which then prompts you to serve your community because knowing more about yourself makes you more valuable to others. And then by serving alongside one another and serving the community you learn more about not only your own religious tradition, but also that of others. That makes you want to explore further, it’s a continual loop of exploration, action, and further exploration.
This year, you received several awards recognizing your outstanding service. What did those honors mean to you?
I was genuinely surprised. I believe that the work I was recognized for was a lot of the pastoral care that is so innate to my calling. So, in a genuine way, it doesn’t feel like work to me. Being recognized by people is also incredibly affirming of my calling. I can feel that I am called, and I think we all want what we do to feel purposeful, but it doesn’t mean that what we do actually has an impact. I think for me it was like the culmination of knowing that what I am called to do is not only meaningful to me but is also valuable to the people whom I serve, which is a really good feeling. One award was from the institution, which is a more formal one. And then the other was from the students which was very special. And then there was also recognition from my larger United Methodist community. It made me feel very grateful for this community to not only see that appreciation, but to also be able to extend my contribution in multiple different ways.
WESLEYAN DIGS IN
Spring of 2025 brought forth the next exciting chapter in Wesleyan’s storied history of empowering female athletes; the College proudly opened a new state-of-the-art facility, laying the groundwork for Wesleyan Athletics to field a brand-new varsity sport. Beach volleyball has officially arrived on campus.
Appropriately named WesBeach, the facility broke ground in the fall of 2024 and was ready to debut just in time to host the inaugural season opener on April 1, 2025. Nestled between the Mathews Athletic Center and Porter Gymnasium, the venue features two regulation-size sand courts, outdoor spectator seating and branded elements that proudly display the Wolves’ colors.
President Meaghan Blight expressed excitement at the sport’s arrival, emphasizing how the program reflects the College’s mission.
“WesBeach represents more than a new facility—it’s a step toward the future we’re building for women in athletics,” Blight said. “We’re creating space for students to lead, grow and compete while expanding the ways they can thrive at Wesleyan and beyond.”
Led by head coach Hollie King, the Wolves quickly turned history into legacy. Just ten days after their first match, the squad notched their first-ever win on April 10, defeating Georgia Highlands College 3–2 in a dramatic back-and-forth contest. Each point was hard-fought, with the final dual clinched by a third-set rally that sent the home crowd into celebration.
“It’s a moment I’ll never forget,” said Coach King. “These athletes came in knowing they were building something from the ground up, and they’ve done it with heart, grit and relentless positivity. That first win meant everything—it proved we belong.”
The debut season was as much about culture-building as competition. With a roster filled by dual-sport athletes and firsttime sand players, the team exemplified resilience. Through early mornings, heavy lifts and countless hours on the sand, they embodied the very spirit Wesleyan seeks to cultivate: determined, collaborative and fearless.
WesBeach has already become more than a competition site. On any given afternoon, students gather on the sidelines to support classmates, families bring lawn chairs to cheer for daughters and young girls from the Macon community look on with admiration—imagining themselves one day diving into the sand wearing the purple and white.
As the sand settles on a historic first season, one thing is clear: the Wolves are here to stay. And with WesBeach as their home turf, the future is bright.
WESLEYAN
Each year, Wesleyan College honors one student who has exemplified in their first year what it means to be a Wolf: academic excellence, on-campus involvement and outstanding leadership. It is always Wesleyan’s privilege to call this student one of her own; however, when the award is given to a student-athlete, it signals truly outstanding achievement.
This could not ring more true for recently-named First Year Student of the Year Abby Gleaton.
A rising second-year at Wesleyan, Gleaton has already left her mark on the pitch, in the classroom, in the communications office and everywhere in between.
WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN
From the moment she set foot on Wesleyan’s storied campus, Gleaton was committed to getting involved, quickly earning a starting role as a first-year soccer player, adding herself to the roster for the Wesleyan pickleball club and joining the communications team in a volunteer ambassador role, where she immediately garnered the attention of her peers.
As an athlete, Gleaton was quickly identified as a leader when she was tasked with the challenge of moving to right back, despite being recruited as a midfielder.
the team stuck out to athletic director Seth Berkebile.
“Abby became a leader for us as soon as she stepped on campus,” Berkebile said. “Her willingness to do whatever it takes to set her team up for success and constant outpouring of support for her teammates makes her the perfect example for how a Wesleyan athlete carries themself.”
Away from the pitch, Gleaton’s on-campus involvement continued to turn heads in her role as a volunteer ambassador within the Wesleyan communications department; quickly rising as a leader among her peers, she earned the honor of becoming the College’s first on-campus ambassador for the brand new Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) studentmarketing program. She was the only first-year student selected to the program.
“When I first came to Wesleyan, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do long-term in my career,” Gleaton said. “That all changed when I joined the communications team. I had the opportunity to get involved with the creation of not only social media content, but in developing campaigns that I know will have a positive impact on the College for years to come. Becoming a CCS ambassador only further solidified my desire to make a career out of marketing and communications.”
“Having Abby on our communications team this year was one of the biggest blessings my team could have ever asked for,” Wesleyan College Creative Director Harrison Tarr said. “She is one of the most naturally gifted marketers I’ve ever had the privilege of working alongside and her leadership capacity is unparalleled. Despite being a first-year, Abby’s colleagues look to her for guidance — both professional and personal. She carries herself with remarkable poise.”

“I’m a huge believer in doing whatever it takes to help the team,” Gleaton said, “So if that meant I needed to sharpen up on the other side of the ball, that’s what I was going to do.”

WESLEYAN WESLEYAN
As she prepares for her second year on campus, Gleaton continues to make a positive impact and share her passion for Wesleyan, serving as a summer orientation leader for the Red Class of 2029, gearing up for a stellar second season as a student-athlete and assuming the role of “Lead Communications Ambassador” with the communications team.
SISTERHOOD BY THE SEA: THE TYBEE TWELVE
The largest class to ever enter Wesleyan was the Great Green Knight class of 1968. With more than 260 freshmen, we filled Persons and spilled over into Wortham, Banks, Hightower, Jones and Porter Hall. We were large and loud!
We could be heard at our bassdrum-enhanced pep rallies or competing on the soccer field and in Stunt. We sang along with the Washboard Band. We greeted dignitaries such as Madame Chiang Kai-shek and Betty Friedan. And over time, we grew to cherish the spirit and traditions of Wesleyan.
More than sixty years later, we still celebrate our lifelong bonds.
“Once a year, a small group of us convene at Tybee Island for four days of fun and non-stop laughter,” said Beth Rogero Bowen, who organizes this gathering of classmates now known as the ‘Tybee 12.’”
“Someone always brings a copy of the ‘Veterropt’ from each of our four years at Wesleyan, along with a copy of the 1964 freshman class directory, to remind us of what we were like back then.”
“Festivities kick off with a shrimp boil the first night at Tybee,” she added. “Everyone signs up to provide a home-cooked meal, and we bless it by singing the ‘Doxology’ a cappella, a cherished mealtime custom we learned at Wesleyan.”
In the early days, the group often ventured into Savannah for dining, shopping or sightseeing. On one such occasion we searched the historic Bonaventure Cemetery for the gravesite of songwriter Johnny Mercer and discovered a massive family-sized plot with song titles and lyrics immortalized in stone.
The music we prefer, however, is the music of the ‘60s, particularly the Motown Sound. Susan Cobleigh of Atlanta brings her library of greatest hits from The Temptations, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Shirelles, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and more.
“We dance to the music,” she said, “and everyone sings along. We even have faux microphones so we can pretend to be part of the soundtrack as we relive some of our happiest days together.”
At Tybee, we reminisce with Green Knight cheers and class songs. We play bridge and other competitive games and engage in serious book talks. We organize care projects for ill classmates and once hosted a surprise bridal shower for Judy Floyd Bywater, complete with period hats, white gloves and a rendition of “Chapel of Love.”
We cherish visits from Savannah classmate Sister Cole Kelley and grieve the recent, untimely death of classmate Martha Pafford Schindhelm, also of Savannah.
As Judy Bywater explains, “Since our years at Wesleyan, we have supported each other through times of joy: professional achievements and awards, marriages, the arrival of children and grandchildren; and also, through times of sadness: personal illness, the loss of parents, siblings and husbands, and surviving natural disasters.”
“Wesleyan brought us together and taught us to love one another. It is one of the best gifts we have ever received.”

STUNT REVITALIZATION
How Two Seniors Brought New Life—and Scholarships—Back to STUNT
Each February, the stage of Porter Auditorium lights up with more than costumes and choreography—it glows with class pride, siblinghood and over a century of Wesleyan tradition. STUNT, the College’s oldest and most iconic event, is more than a musical competition. It’s a rite of passage and a time capsule of creativity. A celebration of community that traces its origins back to 1895 when students organized a showcase to help fund a classmate’s education.
That spirit of lifting each other up—on stage and in life—has defined STUNT for generations. Over time, it evolved into a vibrant student-run event where each class writes, directs and performs an original musical. Scripts are kept secret until the curtain rises. Roles are open to all. And underneath all the class rivalry and school spirit lies something deeper: a tradition rooted in sisterhood and support.
For many years, STUNT also served as the basis for one of Wesleyan’s most meaningful scholarship opportunities. Named in honor of Mr. Emmett S. Johnson, Dr. William F. Quillian and Dr. Samuel Akers, the STUNT Scholarships are awarded to rising seniors who embody the spirit of the tradition—through creativity, leadership and commitment to community. Applicants reflect on what STUNT means to them and how it has shaped their Wesleyan experience. Recipients are selected through a blind review
by the Faculty Advisory Board and honored on stage during the event.
But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, that legacy faltered. With declining attendance and limited resources, STUNT was scaled back—and the scholarship component disappeared. The longest-standing tradition at Wesleyan was at risk of being more remembered than experienced.
That is, until two seniors decided to change the story.
In the spring of 2025, Kasie Murphy ’25, Senator of Campus Activities and Grace Brucker ’25, Red Class President and STUNT Chair, launched a full-scale campaign to revive STUNT—and restore its scholarship offerings
“I would say STUNT was definitely at a low point,” Murphy said. “It was low in participation, low in knowledge, low in understanding, and low in perception. It was very much ‘if you knew, you knew,’ and if you didn’t, you didn’t — it was secretive...to let it die or to let it fade out would be to let a part of Wesleyan’s culture and a part of Wesleyan’s history itself go...that would be a shame.”
This surge of support reflected more than nostalgia. It spoke to the enduring strength of the Wesleyan network and the shared belief that student-led embracing of tradition can be a powerful force for connection, creativity and change.
“Most of our donations came from alumnae, and while it may not have been from one specific person, entire classes got together to raise money,” Brucker said. “It was very reassuring to know that alumnae still care about Wesleyan and want traditions to be not only theirs, but ours as well.”
for students who needed them most. What began as a modest effort to raise $6,000 quickly evolved into something much bigger. With early enthusiasm from students, staff, alumnae and friends of the College, the campaign expanded to a $12,000 goal, ultimately encompassing not just scholarships and operational needs but a lasting physical tribute to the tradition itself.
Their fundraising goals included: covering event operations, awarding four $1,000 scholarships to rising juniors and seniors, and establishing a permanent tribute to siblinghood and class spirit through a new on-campus display. That tribute will house the STUNT Cup, Spirit Cup and the newly introduced Class Color Wars Cup, along with a perpetual plaque recognizing class winners year over year.
Their campaign was about more than money—it was about momentum. In line with three pillars of Wesleyan’s strategic plan, the fundraiser emphasized financial sustainability, deeper alumnae and community
engagement and cultivating a student culture where everyone belongs.
“STUNT is Wesleyan. It is siblinghood. It is a joyous time at the heart of Wesleyan,” Murphy said. “It’s the pinnacle of tradition and captures what it means to be a Wesleyan student and to have that Wesleyan spirit.”
That emphasis on siblinghood was central to their vision. In a creative twist on tradition, the 2025 STUNT performances were co-produced by sibling class pairs—Gold and Red, Green and Purple—encouraging cross-class collaboration and emphasizing unity over competition. A revived Faculty Follies segment and student-designed T-shirts helped expand participation even further.
Leading up to the show,
Murphy and Brucker organized interviews, encouraged donations and invited alumnae to reconnect not only by judging STUNT but by attending a special tailgate beforehand. They wanted to rebuild the bridge between past and present—and they succeeded.
On February 21, 2025, Porter Auditorium was once again filled with laughter, music, cheers and class pride. STUNT was back— and with it, a revived sense of tradition, celebration and purpose.
“STUNT is going to continue to grow in both size and support — and I know the scholarship will stay,” Brucker said. “I’m confident there will be just as much alumnae support as there was this past year, and that it won’t die down.”
The results were unmistakable. Attendance rose, donations exceeded expectations and four scholarships were awarded. And thanks to extra funds raised, work is already underway to install the Siblinghood Tribute display in OSP, complete with engraved trophies, decorated shelves and a ribbon-cutting celebration planned for Alumnae Weekend.
But beyond the numbers, something deeper was restored. STUNT 2025 wasn’t just a revival—it was a reawakening. A reminder that tradition isn’t about looking back. It’s about carrying something forward together.
WESLEYAN STAFF WHO EARNED THEIR DEGREES IN 2025
This spring, Wesleyan College celebrated three of its own in a powerful way—as staff members Mary Ann Harper, Yasmin Pineda and Theresa Abercrombie crossed the graduation stage not only as leaders and mentors, but as graduates.
Their achievement symbolizes more than academic success. It reflects a shared belief in the transformative power of education and a deep commitment to Wesleyan’s mission of accelerating equality for women. Balancing full-time roles while pursuing advanced degrees, these women exemplify perseverance, purpose and the pursuit of lifelong growth.
As professionals, scholars and now alumnae, Mary Ann, Yasmin and Theresa remind us that education isn’t simply a chapter in life—it’s a force for change. Their journeys reflect what is possible when dedication meets opportunity, and they continue to inspire our community every step of the way.
“It’s been very fulfilling to be a part of this institution in ways that go beyond my job. From a career perspective, I certainly feel like I learned a lot about how to reach even more of our students. It was both fun and beneficial to be in classes with (the students) because I felt as though I was getting to know them in a new capacity. I’ve been here almost 15 years, and now I’ve seen the institution from both sides, making me even more proud to be a part of this community.”
Theresa Abercrombie BA Advertising, Marketing and Communications
“Education is important because only a handful of people in my family hold college degrees, and none pursued education beyond a bachelor’s. It was about pushing myself further and setting an example for what’s possible for women later in life after having a family and career. I now hold both my bachelor’s and MBA from Wesleyan, which adds to my 15 years as a staff member. Beyond that, I’ve had the privilege of watching my own daughter graduate from Wesleyan’s nursing program. Earning my MBA here is part of my journey that I take great pride in.”
Mary Ann Harper Master of Business Administration
“As the first in my family to earn a master’s degree and as an immigrant from Panama, I wanted to inspire the next generations of my family and others to see that there are no limits to what we want to achieve. Wesleyan College has played an essential role, giving me my first job opportunity in the U.S. and helping me to build a leadership career that keeps motivating me to grow. No matter where we come from, we all are writing our own stories. When we succeed in school, we are changing and transforming the futures for generations of women to come.”
Yasmin Pineda Segura
Master of Business Administration
INSTANT IMPACT Alum
“Wesleyan prepared me for the next chapter of my career by showing me that the sky is not the limit— it’s just the beginning. Here, possibility is a promise, and success is a path paved by generations of trailblazing women. I’m proud to join the legacy as a new alumna, honored to be part of a community so much greater than myself, and deeply inspired by those who came before me.”
Wesleyan gave me the skills and confidence I needed to begin my career in Behavior Analysis, thanks to the Center for Career Development and the Professional Development classes. Through PDE, I was able to take on an internship that provided invaluable experience and prepared me for my career path. I am proud and excited to be a Wesleyan alumna. Being a part of such a supportive alumnae association, filled with accomplished people, truly shows the lasting impact Wesleyan has on everyone who attends!

WESLEYAN A MESSAGE FROM THE WCAA PRESIDENT
Dear Wesleyan Sisters,
On behalf of the Wesleyan College Alumnae Association Board of Managers, we would like to express our appreciation to you. The 2025 Alumnae Weekend was certainly one to remember and it is truly because of you. Through the support of the Board of Managers and leadership of Mary Kathryn Borland ’04, Jan Lawrence ‘80, and Judy Whitaker ’75, the theme, Simply Sisters, Forever Friends, was perfectly executed. The sounds of class cheers; the parade of red, gold, green, and purple; the squeals of laughter of friends who had not seen each other since the pandemic all served as a testament to the power of friendship and spirit of sisterhood.
WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN WESLEYAN
From welcoming the newest extension to the world’s oldest alumnae association, the resilient Green Class of 2024; celebrating the 50th reunion of the steadfast Gold Class of 1975; to honoring the Pioneering Green Class of 1948, the campus was energized.
To distribute this highly charged energy, we wanted to try something different – we decided to host the President’s Party, which has always been on campus, at the residence of Trudie Parker Sessions Fickling ’65. What a time was had!
To conclude the weekend, the Association recognized the accomplishments of several distinguished alumnae, staff, and faculty, including the 37 years of unwavering devotion Cathy Coxey Snow ’71, the Director of Alumnae Affairs and the Association’s Executive Secretary, provided to the College.
Even to Cathy’s last day serving in her professional role, she charged the Board of Managers to encourage the Association to support the College’s vision of preserving its legacy – give to the She Will Campaign. Carrying this commitment, the Board of Managers is creating opportunities for you to connect with the College, the student body, and each other to make giving to the campaign more
engaging, exciting, and tangible. One opportunity is the 2026 Alumnae Weekend where we will officially enter the 10-year countdown to celebrating the bicentennial of our dear old Wesleyan.
So as a word of advice: practice the high-pitched squeals of excitement; brush up on your cheers; build your wardrobe up with your class color because we are going to have a blast this year!
We can’t wait to partner with you.
True, Faithful, and Loyal,
Anna Cornelious Martin
On behalf of the Wesleyan College Alumnae Association
ALUMNAE WEEKEND
MEET KATY CARR
We are delighted to introduce you to Katy Thompson Carr, our new Executive Director of Alumnae Engagement!
Katy brings a wealth of experience across the corporate, non-profit, and education sectors, united by one consistent theme: her belief that passionate people are an organization’s most valuable asset. With that in mind, she is especially excited to connect with Wesleyan’s passionate and dynamic alumnae network.
Katy looks forward to collaborating with alumnae to strengthen connections, foster engagement, and amplify the incredible momentum happening on our revitalized campus. “As a Macon native, Wesleyan has always held a special place in my heart,” she says. “I’m thrilled to join a team focused on shaping a bright future, and I’m honored to support and engage with this amazing community of women. I look forward to building meaningful relationships and helping to keep the Wesleyan spirit alive—on campus and beyond.”
Working at an institution that focuses on empowering women is a perfect fit for Katy. In her own leadership roles, she has championed creating opportunities for women and has always recognized the value of effective training and education to open doors and to build on each individual’s strengths.
Further, the close-knit Wesleyan community suits Katy perfectly as she has been involved in numerous community projects and taken on many roles including currently serving as Chair of the Theatre Macon Board of Directors and Public Image Chair of the Macon Rotary Club. Though her professional journey has taken her to cities such as New York, Baltimore, and Houston, her deep roots and commitment to central Georgia have brought her back home to Macon. Her greatest joy is her family including her husband Adam and their daughter Caroline.
Please join us in enthusiastically welcoming Katy to our Wesleyan family.
SHE WILL RETURN HOME
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MALCOLM STEWART BURGESS, JR.
Devoted Philanthropist, Wesleyan Champion, and Faithful Friend
March 20, 1945 – May 5, 2025
Macon, Georgia lost one of its most beloved citizens on May 5, 2025, with the passing of Malcolm Stewart Burgess, Jr., a man whose life was defined by quiet generosity, enduring commitment to service, and unwavering love for his community.
Malcolm’s legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of Macon, where his philanthropic spirit touched countless lives and institutions. A man of action and conviction, Malcolm answered the call to give not for recognition, but because he believed in encouraging others and building a stronger community for generations to come.
Wesleyan College held a special place among the many organizations that Malcolm supported. As a member of the Board of Trustees from 1991 to 2003, he offered not only his wisdom and leadership but also his steadfast support, both personally and financially. Whether responding to an urgent need or supporting a long-term vision, Malcolm never hesitated to champion the mission of the College. His belief in Wesleyan’s role in empowering women through education was evident in every thoughtful act of giving and encouragement.
Malcolm was not alone in this devotion.
His beloved wife, Andrea C. “Candy” Burgess, shared his passion for service and philanthropy, and she, too, served Wesleyan College as a trustee from 2012 to 2018, supporting the equality of women at all levels. Together, Malcolm and Candy were a dynamic force for Macon and for Wesleyan, offering not only their resources but also their time, energy, and leadership. Candy passed away on January 20, 2022, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and generosity that she and Malcolm built together.
Malcolm’s passing leaves an undeniable void, but his life remains a shining example of how quiet, consistent generosity can change the world. Those who knew him will remember his kind eyes, thoughtful words, and unwavering integrity. His legacy, like Candy’s, will continue to impact the people, programs, and institutions they touched so profoundly.
Wesleyan College, and the broader Macon community, are forever grateful for the lives and love of Malcolm and Candy Burgess. Together, they showed us what it means to live with purpose and to give with joy.

She recently performed piano concerts with daughter, Margery, in Macon and at the University of Montana. Susan shares, “Like mother, like daughter.” Congratulations on her 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Louise Sawyer Whipple ’58 writes, “My son, Peter, recently moved to Charlottesville, VA. I see him often since my home is about 40 miles away. My twin sons live in Wilmington, DE and Knoxville, TN.”
“Sadly, most of my classmate friends from Wesleyan have passed away, and a few are even on the “lost” list. However, I still enjoy receiving the Wesleyan Magazine with the latest Wesleyan news,” shares Carol King Pope ’59.
1960s
Anne Valentin Hutcherson ’63 reports, “I am finally fully retired, and while I hated to retire, I have discovered a lovely period of life, half of which each year I am on an island off the coast of Maine— otherwise known as BLISS! Otherwise, I am in Kansas City, Missouri.”
Ann E. Shumaker ’63 writes, “Hoping that all my Golden Heart sisters are doing well! I’m looking forward to our 65th reunion in 2028! My “girls” are doing very well! My daughter, Elizabeth, is continuing her
teacher-librarian position at Pinehurst Elementary, North Charleston, South Carolina. My older granddaughter, Amanda, is beginning her 4th year in Public Relations in NYC and my younger granddaughter, Sarah, graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of South Carolina in May! She’ll be a second-grade teacher at her mom’s school and will continue working on her master’s degree from Clemson University! Golden Heart love to all!”
Judith Joseph Chalhub ’65 writes, “I live in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Our 60th Wesleyan Reunion weekend in 2025 allowed us to make new memories while sharing memories of our past. My roomie, Janet Mewbourne Genest, who lives in Maine, met me for the Weekend. There were 8 of us who came, 3 of whom were local Wesleyannes. My years at Wesleyan were well spent as they prepared me for a successful future. Now, I’m a retired math teacher who has taught 7th -12th grades in public schools and on Educational TV where I taught 7th Grade Modern Math to 3,500 Duval County Students. In 1967, I was hired to be on the Inaugural Staff of Jacksonville Episcopal High School. The following year, I was honored to be appointed the first Dean of Girls of JEHS. Tutoring is an ongoing opportunity even if you say you’re retired. In the summer of 1969, I married Leon Chalhub of West Palm Beach. Fast forward 38 years. Mariana dos Santos Furlin Holm, who is now on staff at Wesleyan, attended Palm Beach Gardens High School Choir with my daughter, Amy. Mariana came over with her college applications. As soon as I saw her Wesleyan application, I pulled it out of the stack and told her ‘This is where you’re going!’ The rest is history. Mariana fell in love with our Alma Mater and never left. Our reunions
have taken on a stronger feeling of ‘Sisters Forever’, together at reunions and beyond!”
Carol Reynolds ’65 shares that she lives in Woodstock, Georgia.
Jane Silverman Mason ’66 shares, “I enjoy receiving messages from Wesleyan. This year has brought changes to our family. My much-loved husband died in September. He was also a much-loved father and grandfather. He and I met during my sophomore year! We had been married for 59 years! He is and was my connection to Wesleyan! I remain in the Birmingham area near my children and grands.”
Nan N. McWilliams ’66 writes, “My daughter, Lindsay, and l have moved to an apartment in Brandon, Florida, a twenty-minute drive from Tampa. A dear friend helped us move and is now helping us in the sale of our prior home. My beloved brother was called to his eternal home in May of 2022, a day before my nephew lost his long battle with cancer. My great nephew, JT, graduated from Clemson University in 2024 and works in construction management in Atlanta. My great niece, Sarah, is a rising senior at Auburn University and is majoring in hospitality management. My health is fair … dealing with many issues, but l appreciate God’s every blessing! I pray that our purple class and all sisters are loving life with joy and peace. God bless you, and God bless Wesleyan College.”
Catherine Collins O’Kelley ’72.
Linda Brown Walker ’73 writes, “In early June of this year Pamela Henry Pate ’71 and I traveled to Macon from North Carolina to assist Archivist Virginia Blake in the Wesleyan College Archives. This trip was fun and productive for us. Pam and I have reconnected as we live within 40 minutes of each other and enjoy each other’s company as members of sister classes at Wesleyan. We are active in the North Carolina Triangle Alumnae Club. In June, we spent 3 days in the archives identifying and filing photos by years. Carol Bacon Kelso ’73 joined us on our 1st day as we used the Veterropt and our memories from the late sixties and early seventies to organize photos. We encourage you to make a plan to come to campus by yourself or with a college buddy to work in the Archives and assist Virginia in further identifications.”
Anita Isaac ’76 writes, “Can’t believe our 50th anniversary is coming up. Where did the time go? My daughter will be a senior in high school. She attends the High School of Art and Design in New York City where we live. My son is entering high school as a freshman, and he will attend a public school with 461 students called Manhattan Village Academy. He will have to wear a uniform. My husband and I will celebrate our 25th anniversary on September 14th.”
1970s
“I enjoyed seeing our big sister PKs at alumnae weekend in April 2024. It is always a great weekend, and I hope some of my classmates will join me next year, even if it is not a reunion year!” shares Mary
Amy Miller Braun ’79 says, “Now living in beautiful Ashe County, NC in the northwest mountains. I have 2 granddaughters, ages 5 and 2. I have been working on contracts in HR for the NC university system since my 2015 retirement. I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Germany and Austria with my husband and 2 younger sons in 2022. I am looking forward to our 40th anniversary.”
1980s
Cynthia Cobb ’81 writes, “The last couple of years have had highs and lows. Our son, David Paulsson, was married to Danielle in March 2023, my mother passed away in July of that same year and my stepfather died in August, less than a month after we buried mom. My husband Gene and I took a long-anticipated trip to Israel in September of 2023, returning home less than a month before the war started. Our daughter, Elizabeth, married Mac Norris in November of 2024. Gene and I have been trying to do our overseas travel with a trip to Greece in the spring of 2025, and we are preparing for a long Mediterranean cruise this August! I’m looking forward to celebrating the class of 1981’s 45th reunion in April of 2026!”
Congratulations to Maricka “Ricky” H. M. Rogers-Randall ’88 and her husband, Edward Randall, who announced the adoption of their son, Corbin Emil Rogers Randall on March 12, 2024.

1990s
A. Avery ’99 is thrilled to share that they have joined the WaterCARE team at MacDermid Enthone Industrial Solutions as a Technical Specialist.
“After an almost 26-year career in civil service and enduring multiple administration changes, I reached my limit and retired early so I could dedicate more time to my true passions of floating in my
pool with an adult beverage and annoying my wife and our dogs,” writes Bingle Brown ’99.
2000s
Congratulations to Tarra Powell ’02 who shares, “My husband and I are excited to announce that our daughter, who has told us since she was six years old that she wants to attend Wesleyan, will be enrolling this year as a freshman.”
Congratulations to Yun Chen ’06 who announces, “My daughter was born in December 2024!”
Jenny Abramovitz Renfroe ’06 shares, “I was recently married to Jason Renfroe on June 13, 2024!”
2010s
Rachel A. Fullerton ’10 writes, “I married Taylor Pendley on August 3, 2024.”
Congratulations to Tiffany Strickland Ramey ’10 who married Christopher Ramey in 2014 and on the births of 3 children: Liam born 2018, Lukas born 2020, and Selah born 2023.
Congratulations to Tiffanie Blackshire ’12 who reports, “I bought a house back in 2022.”
The Mercer School of Business shares that they had the privilege of welcoming Julie G. Rogers ’16, Chief Development Officer at Wesley Glen, to their Professional Development class. Julie captivated them with her wisdom on embracing
unexpected opportunities and the profound impact of cultivating meaningful relationships. Her insights served as a powerful reminder that success often comes from seizing the moments we least anticipate and fostering connections that enrich both our personal and professional lives. They were incredibly grateful for the time and knowledge she shared with them and thanked Julie for her inspiration and guidance!
2020s
Congratulations to Josie Rozier ’24 who will be attending Mercer University in the fall of 2025 to pursue a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.

Wesleyan Star
Established in 2014 to recognize those alumnae just beginning to support Wesleyan in consecutive years, the Wesleyan Star honors alumnae who have given for two, three, or four consecutive years. Special recognition of Wesleyan Stars includes a ✮ following their names in the alumnae Class Giving section and special recognition during Alumnae Weekend.
Love X 5
For the past 29 years, the Love X 5 program has been recognizing our faithful alumnae who have made a gift to Wesleyan for five or more consecutive years. In recognition of their loyalty to Wesleyan, these faithful donors are honored with a ❤ following their names in the alumnae Class Giving section. When attending Alumnae Weekend, Love X 5 faithful are also presented with a special pin honoring their continued support of their alma mater.
Winner's Circle
A 2014 addition to our recognition of consecutive-year donors includes the Winner's Circle. These faithful alumnae have supported Wesleyan with gifts for ten to nineteen consecutive years. To recognize this loyalty, Winner's Circle faithful are honored with a following their name in the alumnae Class Giving section, as well as special recognition during Alumnae Weekend.
Stanback Society
Established in 2001, the Stanback Society recognizes alumnae who have given to Wesleyan for twenty or more consecutive years. These faithful donors are honored with a following their names in the alumnae Class Giving Section. The Stanback Society is named in honor of Florence Elizabeth Cawthon Stanback who contributed to the Annual Fund faithfully, giving every year from her graduation in 1925 until her death in 2002.
Forever First Society
Because we are forever grateful for those who remember Wesleyan with a planned gift, these alumnae are now recognized in the Class Giving section. The names of current Society members will appear in bold typeface and those from whom we have received a legacy gift will appear in italics.
