The College launches show choir

 Last Friday Wilson College celebrated White Dinner and the Hankey Center shared some history on this Wilson tradition.

Wilson will host an opening for Breana Sneed’s senior capstone exhibition at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 8, at Bogigian Gallery in Lortz Hall. The show will continue through January 18, 2023. Before the opening, professor Denise Joyal will host a ceramic pit firing along with Ms. Sneed. This firing event will take place at 6:15 p.m. at Lortz Hall. All are welcome!

The Wilson community gathered together Sunday evening for Christmas Vespers with readings, singing, and candle lighting. It was a lovely evening to celebrate the season.

For the first time Wilson College marched in the Chambersburg Christmas parade. Students, staff, and faculty joined President Wes and Blaze in downtown Chambersburg to kick off the festive season.

You can watch a short clip of Wilson in the parade here, or the entire parade here.

Before heading out for Thanksgiving break, students enjoyed one of Wilson College's oldest traditions–Thanksgiving dinner. The event is hosted by Wilson CAB (Campus Activity Board) while staff and faculty volunteer to serve up the turkey and all the trimmings for the meal. And don't forget the pie!

Wilson announced it has entered into an articulation agreement with Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM). This agreement will allow up to nine qualified Wilson graduates per year to transfer seamlessly into a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program at RUSVM.

The College will host Improvised: The Art of Practiced Freedom, an art exhibition featuring works by Wilson and Hagerstown Community College (HCC) arts faculty. It opens on Wednesday, November 2, in the Cooley Gallery. It is free and open to the public.

The show is a shared project between the arts faculty of the two institutions. According to Joshua Legg, the gallery’s curator, “This is our second shared exhibition with our faculty colleagues from HCC, and we plan to make this a regular event every other year.”

The College will host an exhibition of artwork by area high school students from Wednesday, October 26, through December 2, in the Bogigian Gallery, Lortz Hall. The exhibition is free and open to the public, and the gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
