Familiar Faces

"You're never a stranger at Wesleyan..." one WVWC alum said earlier this year. Perhaps that is why the campus administration, faculty, and staff are comprised by a large number of Wesleyan alumni. These individuals truly are not strangers to this particular campus community. They truly have made Wesleyan their permanent "Home Away From Home."

Looking around campus, it is easy to find alumni who now serve the college in some manner. Talking with those folks allows one to discover why they wanted to be at Wesleyan in a different capacity than their prior experience as a student. The reasons are

endless. For some, this is an opportunity to give back to a college that gave so much to them. For others, the buildings, landscape, and faces here have always been more than familiar. And, some simply profess an endless source of Bobcat pride. Indeed, these are the things that have always whispered "home". These are the things that become instilled into the lives of Wesleyan students, alumni, and friends. These are the things that bring the many faces of Wesleyan back "home". These are the things that make it so people truly never are strangers at Wesleyan.

Wesleyan Welcomes New Faces

New faces, new talents, and new people arrived at West Virginia Wesleyan this year and they weren't even part of the 500 plus entering first year students. These individuals were the new faculty and staff of Wesleyan who decided to make the Buckhannon area their new home. Why they chose Wesleyan is a question many of them answer in the same manner as entering freshmen. New faculty and staff chose Wesleyan because of location, because of reputation, and because of opportunity.

When asked why she chose to join the Wesleyan community, Tamara Denmark, Director of Intercultural Relations, stated "the best part of this position is working with the students and learning what makes each one unique." Similarly, Dr. Eric Waggoner, Assistant Professor of English, enjoys the low student-to-faculty ratio where it's easy "to interact with students on a personal level, which makes the teaching much more effective," in his view. And, Dr. Elizabeth Oppe, Assistant Professor of Communication, finds Wesleyan within close proximity of family, which is very important to her, and she also appreciates "Wesleyan's high regard for quality education" and the sincere respect her colleagues have within the communication field.

Like Denmark and Oppe, staff and faculty are often West Virginia natives who long to live in the mountains of the state, near close friends and family. Some folks join the Wesleyan community because of the college's reputation, commitment to excellence, and enduring values and traditions. And, like Waggoner, many others find the opportunities Wesleyan offers as a small, private, liberal arts college to be more than ideal. For whatever reason, the Wesleyan community welcomes these new faces and friends to campus.

Top: Wesleyan welcomed Dr. Pete McGill to its Mathematics Department at the beginning of the 2002-2003 academic year. Middle: Native West Virginian Dr. Elizabeth Oppe joined the Communication Department with excitement and enthusiasm. Bottom: Always ready to lend a hand and a smile, long-time Wesleyan sociologyprofessor Dr. John Warner welcomes new faces to campus every chance he gets.

Creating New Homes for New Students

Agnes Howard, Benedum, Camden, Doney, Fleming, Holloway, Jenkins, and McCuskey -- the names of the "homes" of all Wesleyan students for a few years. These Wesleyan communities offer more than a place for students to rest their heads. They offer a place for students to learn about responsibility, cooperation, and tolerance.

The residential communities of Wesleyan flourish because of the work of the Housing and Residence Life Office, whose mission statement specifically states that it strives to "encourage cognitive, personal, spiritual, and social development." It wants to provide a welcoming and learning community for all students. It extends the mission of the college by providing social events, academic opportunities, and community service outings. It works to better student life on campus.

The Housing and Residence Life Office develops, maintains, and revises the policies, procedures, and opportunities that community living has to offer. This department is responsible for events ranging from "Got Pride?" to the S.M.A.R.T. Program to the Pick-a-Project Community Service Day. They have also recently restructured several upperclass residence halls with a handful of suites to better serve the various personalities of students. In this office, challenges are welcomed, creativity appears endless, and students remain the focus.

Where We Came From...

Once upon a time, four or more years ago, none, or very few of the Class of 2003 knew that the name "Big AT was actually a reference to the campus dining hall, nor had we considered the implications of a plus/minus grading system. In fact, it was quite likely that many were unaware of the exact location of Buckhannon, West Virginia.

Four years ago. the majority of this year's graduates were seniors in high school, feeling as though they were on top of the world. Similar to the 2002-03 school year, they were anticipating graduation and consequently making what was probably the biggest decision of their lives to that date — where to go to college. When choosing a school, varying influences played a role in their decisions. However, to almost all students, how far one was willing, or wanting, to venture from their current home was a key factor to almost everyone.

Not long after the college selections had been made, the majority of the Class of 2003 gathered for the first time on Orientation Weekend 1999. The first question asked of each other was often. "Where are you from?". The responses varied greatly. Students arriving from out-of-state noticed that many West Virginians responded to this question by simply stating their home county or regional area, confusing those unfamiliar with the state's geography. Students making long treks to Wesleyan received varying responses of surprise, curiosity, and even bewilderment when revealing their hometowns, particularly from those students who had lived their whole life in close proximity to Buckhannon.

For example. Gustavo Pontual-Machado says people were so surprised to learn he is from Rio de Janeiro. Brazil that they usually responded with a simple, "Wow". Despite the major differences between his homeland and Buckhannon. Gustavo states. "I can definitely say Buckhannon was my home for four years."

Many seniors whose hometowns were close by never considered colleges that would have mandated a lengthy trip between home and school. Similarly, many of seniors who spend hours in cars, or even the air, to reach Buckhannon never considered attending a school near their original hometowns. Regardless, however, of the proximity of a graduate's original home to Wesleyan. or even the role distance played in the college decision-making process, it is likely that now after four years on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College that the members of the Class of 2003 hold two special places in their hearts — their original hometowns and Buckhannon, West Virginia, their "Home Away From Home".

Above: In the last four years. Stacy Bachelder traveled many miles between her hometown of Greenwood. Maine and Buckhannon. West Virginia.

Where We've Lived...

Through their four years, the members of the Class of 2003 carried their belongings back and forth between their original homes and their "Home Away From Home" at Wesleyan. The process of moving in each August and out each May !'&1s became a science to most. They learned to more carefully analyze what they really I needed versus what they thought they needed, just as many learned to time their "%& laundry schedules just right, so when they couldn't go another day without doing a '"**?' wasn' it was time to head home to the free laundry facilities of their original homes. .<ij j But, in between the moving in and moving out, each student was given an area each -V ( year to temporarily house their belongings, as well as themselves, while at school. ''""4) This area then became their "home base" while residing at Wesleyan, their "Home l#$f\ Away From Home".

;$■/*■' All of the seniors' four years brought changes and more options for their "home

Vfel? base". Once freshman year passed, this year's graduates all looked forward to the ^§3 opportunity of more choice in room and roommate assignments through the room selection process. However, when selection time for sophomore year arrived, many females were surprised to learn they would once again be residing in Holloway. These new changes made the Class of 2003 the final class to have the cross-campus freshmen experience — girls in Holloway and Jenkins; boys in Doney and Fleming. Looking back, 2003 seniors often spoke of "the way it was" to the younger students living in the Quad, now often dubbed "Freshmen World".

This final year exhibited the most diverse living arrangements among fellow senior classmates. From electing to provide their own housing off-campus, to choosing to stay in the traditional dormitory style housing with one room, two ".£',', people, and a bath down the hall, the members of the Class of 2003 chose a wide . JjA variety of locations to serve as their "home base", as graduates were spread across {•^ campus and throughout the city of Buckhannon.

Regardless of the locations 2003 seniors may have chosen as their "home base" <i'*jjS; during their time at Wesleyan. it would be difficult for them to deny that their living I arrangements during their years greatly contributed to their overall experience j&V while at their "Home Away From Home".

Where We Are Going...

As their time at Wesleyan draws to a close, the members of the Class of 2003 must consider the many impacts of saying goodbye to their "Home Away From Home". Knowing that graduation is quickly approaching, seniors must also consider many pertinent decisions regarding their futures. Those decisions, often based on career endeavors and other future aspirations, easily multiply into many other choices they must make. A question, whose answer is often determined by other factors such as where one is offered a job or accepted into graduate school, is "Where will my new home be?".

Since these seniors made their decision to attend West Virginia Wesleyan College, they knew that, for at least the majority of the next four years, their life would be led in the small town of Buckhannon. West Virginia. Now that their time here is complete, they must each make the decision of where to go next. After graduation in May 2003, some members of the class will return to their original homes, to live with parents for the time being, or perhaps to find a place of their own. Some, on the other hand, will immediately venture out to start a new chapter of life in unfamiliar towns, cities, and possibly even foreign countries.

The places they choose might be just another "Home Away From Home", or might in fact, become their new permanent home. Whatever the case may be. for most. Buckhannon and the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College will forever hold a special place in their memories, as a place they once called "home".

Anxious to Become a Senior

Being a junior at West Virginia Wesleyan puts me right in the middle of all that matters and u'ill matter in my life. A junior in college is too old to be distracted by silly college parties and old enough to be thinking more about the future than what they will be doing this weekend. My junior year has taught me about who I am and ii'hat I need to do in the future. I have begun to realize that my time at W/1AY/C is winding down and I may not see some of my friends again once I leave Wesleyan. As a junior. I have hit a certain reality wall that has allowed me to be proud of my past and confident about my future. It is hard to believe that next year is my last year and that I u ill soon be a senior. Those in my class have gone down a long, hard road to get to where they are now and to be moving into our senior year is a great acomplishment. To look back at who my friends were at the beginning of my freshman year is a complete contrast as to who they are today. Wesleyan has shaped who we are and who we will become. Wesleyan has given to us in the past three years what no one else could give us in an entire lifetime, to this point.

Adjusting to my "Home away from Home"

As a freshman here at Wesley an, I can tell you first- band how difficult it can be to move away from all the things and people you know and love to a place where no one really cares about you at all. Oh sure, they care about you as a student and everything, but not like the people back home. It is particularly hard for those of us who live out of state, because it's no two hour drive to most of our homes and that makes going back anytime other than holidays pretty difficult.

First of all, there's the roommate expedience. As soon as you walk in, you see this stranger standing in your new home. You politely introduce yourself and your family, but then you really want to get settled in. However, this person and all her stuff is already in the room, so how can you possibly fit everything you brought when she obviously seems to think that her stuff is more important than yours because it not only consumes your half of the room but most of the hallway too. And all the while you're thinking, as you lug your 15 suitcases in the room and leave some in the hallway for more space, how can I live with this person?

Next comes leaving your family, which for me was the hardest part. I'll be upfnnt; I swore up and down that I was not going to cry when they left. Oh, I definitely cried. First, when they pulled out of the parking spot and started driving away and again when I was forced to go back to my room which very closely resembled a jail cell. Since my relationship with my nominate was new, I could find no comfort with her. even though she was going through the same thing I was. hook at that, we already had something in common. I assumed that from then on. I was basically alone and otphaned.

From this point on, until around the one month into being at college, life seems really hard, and many time you'll want to just go home and forget all about college. However, if you don't believe anything I've said to you thus far, please believe this: The home sickness will pass!!! Don't give up because eventually that stranger who you share that "jail cell" with might actually like the same bands and movies you do. Your family misses you and wishes you could come home more often too, but they are proud of you for going to college. Keep them ptvud by staying in college. The best cures for home sickness are to call often, write letters or e-mails, and instant messenger to keep in touch. It'll make you ami them feel much better.

All in all, being a freshman is tough. Remember, you are not in this alone, so talk to a few people and make some new fiends.

Students in Free Enterprise

Students in Free Enterprise compete on both the regional and national levels. The organization has 30 members, and their faculty advisor is Dr. Bellamy. Their mission statement is to inspire, serve, and empower others around the world through extending knowledge of free enterprise, while advancing the student's own learning experience. SIFE placed in the top 3% of the nation last year, against 1 000 other teams in the national competition in Kansas Qty. This year they have been working with students at Central Elementary School on a micro-economy project. This project has been the most successful project and was called Economy Five. Economy Five is an educational project in which SIFE members teach the fifth grade class at Central Elementary about the basics of business and economics and then allow them to begin their own businesses. The members met with the children once a week for an hour since September. SIFE will be competing at the regional level in April and the national level in May. The group feels that with the knowledge of Free Enterprise, the future of the community is boundless. In addition, the group is beginning to sell coffee on campus. The coffee has been imported from Tanzania and will help aid impoverished farmers in that location.

C-92 FM: Underconstruction

The campus radio station, C-92 FM, strives to maintain a successful and entertaining station. C-92 FM is composed of students who volunteer their time to be DJs and those currently enrolled in Broadcast Practicum. Dr. Kathleen Long, the radio station's faculty advisor also teaches the Broadcast Practicum class. C-92 FM's executive board has expanded this year by adding new positions. It now consists of a General Manager, a Production Director, a Programming Director, a Training Director, a Promotions Director, a Music Director, a Secretary, and a Sales Manager. C-92 has recently trained a large number of new DJs, adding variety and a creative voice to the station. C-92 will once again play a role in the annual concert sponsored by CAB. C-92 has made more of an attempt to promote itself on campus this year as well as a fair amount of restructuring decisions that it hopes will have a successful outcome.

Campus Activities Board

The Campus Activities Board is one of the largest organizations on campus. The purpose of this organization is to provide students with entertainment and a variety of activities in which to participate. CAB sponsors activities like bingo, new movies, comedians and games. CAB provides great alternative activities for the weekends.

There is a wide variety of students who represent CAB, and they all bring something valuable to the table. Being a part of CAB is a great way to develop leadership and communication skills.

Every year, members get a chance to use those skills at the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) Conference. This year CAB represented Wesleyan in Nashville for the National Conference. Here, CAB were able to see up-and-coming bands, comedians, magicians and just about anything else one could imagine. After the conference, CAB considers all the acts and attempts to figure out what is best for the Wesleyan community.

Active members of CAB report that it is one of the best experiences of thier college career as they have learned a lot about themselves and gain valuable life experiences.

The Engineering and Physics Club

The Engineering and Physics Club has 35 members and their mission is to investigate career and advanced educational options in the field of physics and engineering. This year the Engineering and Physics Club has been very active on the campus of WVWC. The National Director of the American Institute of Physics, Dr. Stith, came to campus to talk to the club about possible careers in the field. Dr. Paule Drake, a research scientist from the University of Michigan, also came to campus this year to talk about experimental plasma physics. One of the club's fondest memories involves a Christmas party hosted by Dr. Popson, their advisor, at his home. Dr. Popson used his Christmas tree laser to produce a red- and-green laser show for the students. The members also plan to tour Corhart Refractories to gam understanding of the work of a ceramic engineer.

Alpha Phi Omega and Habitat for Humanity: Building the Future

Alpha Phi Omega is a nationally recognized co-ed service fraternity that values friendship, leadership, and most importantly service. The organization is based on the founding principles of the Boy Scouts of America. The chapter here at WVWC, Alpha Delta Omicron, strives to provide service to the brotherhood, campus, our nation, and to the youth of America. While most of APO's energy is concentrated on service activities, members do spend a fair amount of time becoming closer friends and stronger leaders. Every year the fraternity plans two formals and a vast array of different fellowship and leadership building activities. The organization recently inducted a new pledge class, and the fraternity is eager to welcome these new brothers. The organization has been working closely with Or. Beeby and Dr. Welliver to help with some of the funds on the Habitat for Humanity house.

Alpha Phi Omega is always seeking new potential brothers who are commited to doing service. APO holds rush twice a year, like many other fraternities and sororities, once in the spring and once again in the fall. The pledge period usually lasts about 6 weeks. The brotherhood currently consists of 29 brothers and continues to grow each semester. Anyone is welcome to be a part of the APO family if they are serious about service, all one has to do is sign up for their next rush party!

Community Council

Community counsel has 33 members and its purpose is to act as a major governance body of the campus community where matters of academic, social, and societal concern are discussed and acted upon. Community Counsel's mission statement is to be the governance body that handles, in part or in whole, all matters concerning the community of West Virginia Wesleyan College, by enacting those duties placed upon it by the college and those duties which it properly delegates to itself.

Community counsel has accomplished many things this year. President of Community Counsel, Brett Cover, along with Aylyn Yalez, Nick Learned, James Phillips, and Lee Ann Brown attended a "Raise Your Voice," forum at the University of Charleston. The 5 participated in a simulated forum elaborating on America's role in the world today. They then took this knowledge from the forum and attempted to conduct such events on campus. These same five members will host the same event on campus with WV public broadcasting present to televise the event. Brett Cover and Leanna Laskey also attended the WV Student Government Association (WVSGA) conference at West Virginia University in Parkersburg. This marked the first year that private institutions from the state were invited. West Virginia Wesleyan College is planning to host the Fall 2003 WVSGA conference—the first ever private institution to hold such an event.

First, Finest, Forever

The 2002-2003 school year was quite an exciting one for the girls of Alpha Delta Pi. With Alpha classes of seven members in the fall and thirteen in the spring, they were constantly improving.

The bonds of sisterhood were strengthened throughout the year by having their Pride activities as well as guiding new Alphas through gaining membership by Diamond sisters.

Every semester, the sisters

visited the Ronald McDonald house in Morgantown to cheer up the residents there. They cooked dinner and spent time with the people. ADPi girls raised money through raffles and soda can tabs among other things for the house. The ladies also participated in a bowl-a-thon for the Lupus Foundation. Alpha Delta Pi sisters participated in an array of sisterhood activities and ADPi is truly the first and finest sorority.

Carrying on Traditions

Alpha Sigma Phi has not only grown in numbers but character in the past year. With a Spring 2003 pledge class of 12 men, they look strong in carrying on the traditions of one of the oldest, still active fraternities.

They always know how to throw a party together. Whether just a random bash, or parties with themes such as the White Trash Trailer Bash or TOGA party, they know how to have a good time.

But partying is not all these guys do. Every year they sponsor a haunted house where proceeds go to the Upshur County Head Start program. This past year they contributed over $750 to the program. For their generous contributions, the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity is having an article written about them in a publication from the National Head Start Program. Other service projects include Toys for Tots and local clothing drives.

Cross Country

Wesley an Harriers Regain Cross Conntry Crown

After an uncharacteristic year without a conference title, Wesleyan's Cross Country produced solid seasons and regained its winning form. The 2002 season brought many unexpected suprises for the 'Cats. The most amazing was senior captain Kelly Terhune's season long domination of the WVIAC runners. Terhune, who had been limited to a handful of races in previous years due to a respiration illness, stepped up to lead a young Lady Bobcat team back to the top of the WVIAC.

Terhune's victory at the Conference Championships earned her the league MVP award. In the supporting role, freshman Stephanie Hatfield and Betsy Curry earned All-Conference honors in their first season, while Hatfield was voted Rookie of the Year. Head Coach Jesse Skiles earned WVIAC Coach of the Year. With a talented and experienced team returning, the Lady Bobcats will look to defend their title and improve in the region.

On the men's side, Wesleyan continued to rebuild after finishing 3rd a year ago. At Lock Haven University Cross Country Invite, Wesleyan defeated conference rival Alderson Broadus College with great races from sophomores Justin Cox, Steven Nutter, and Justin Rogers. Confidence from this victory carried into the championship season.

After an unranked first half of the season, the men moved as high as 7th in the NCAA East Region and finished runner-up to Wheeling Jesuit University at the conference championships. Justin Cox and freshman Jason Gurney earned All-Conference honors as Gurnev was named Rookie of the Year.

Rigorous Training Pays Off

With eleven returning swimmers and eight freshmen. Wesleyan's swimmers commenced training the second week of the fall semester. September contained rigorous cross training in addition to the regular swim schedule, which included six a.m. and afternoon practices.

Two a day practices ended as the meet season began in late October. The team faced losses in early meets against Shippensburg and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, but the team stayed focused on the conference championship. As the first semester ended, the team prepared to go on its annual winter training trip to Clearwater. Florida.

At the final home meet seniors were recognized for their

contributions. Captains Bill Bandzuch. Tristan Springer and

Katie Dunleavy were acknowledged in addition to the other two

seniors, Adam Peterson and Chris Wiley. Those in attendance at

the meet had the added bonus of watching Monica Morin attain

her NCAA Division II cut in the 200 Butterfly.

After a three-week taper, the team headed to Wooster. Ohio to compete in the Bluegrass Mountain Championship. The women placed first and the men took third place. Junior Allison Griffith was victorious in the 100 breaststroke getting her a NCAA Division II cut for the second year in a row.

A month later, the two National qualifying girls went to North Dakota to compete. According to Monica Morin, "It was great to travel to North Dakota and be part of such an amazing event for the second year in a row. I feel privileged just to witness some of the fastest races in the nation and to swim in the same pool as these competitors!"
