ROSEMONT, Pa.—The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Board of Directors continues to work diligently to monitor the rapidly-evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its campus communities, specifically in relation to formulating a viable path forward for formal intercollegiate athletic competition during the spring semester. Due to the travel restrictions imposed by most states and the sharply rising rate of infection across our region, the CSAC and the Board of Directors have agreed that winter sports will not resume at least through the month of January. While no formal schedules have been adopted at this time, the Board does intend to resume intercollegiate competition during the spring semester and has advised the conference office to incorporate all available data into developing appropriate schedules for each conference-sponsored sport as allowable. The Board is committed to providing a safe environment for competition and as such has agreed that all of its member institutions shall adhere to the recommendations outlined by the NCAA and the Sport Science Institute related to testing and social distancing at athletic competitions. The Board and conference office staff shall continue to review interstate restrictions on travel as well as the trends related to infection rates within the conference geographic footprint prior to committing to the resumption of competition. Due to the unpredictable disruptions related to COVID-19, the CSAC and the Board of Directors recognize that plans for returning to competition shall be dictated by local, state and federal guidelines, recommendations or mandates and are subject to change at any time.

Eleven Wilson students will pitch their business startup ideas to a panel of outside experts in a live-streamed zoom event similar to ABC’s popular Shark Tank entrepreneurial show. It will take place on Dec. 2 from 5 to 8 p.m., and you can watch it live at https://wilson.zoom.us/j/97768117894.
Prof. Thomas Armstrong will act as the host and introduce the students. Each student will have three minutes to present their business idea, then take questions from the panel. This year’s experts are Robin Burtner, Shippensburg University Small Business Development Center director, BDC. Kelly S. Wylam, Innovation Partnership (iPart} director, and Malcolm Furman, an analyst for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. The panelists will offer the students advice and evaluate their proposals.
Student startup ideas include food in spray cans to distract pets at veterinary practices, a shoe retailer, an HVAC business, pet massage therapy, and others. “This is experiential learning at its best,” said Armstrong. “You come up with your idea, you own it, and you present it.”

On November 11, 2020, in a ceremony streamed live, Wilson College chartered a circle for Omicron Delta Kappa (O∆K), the National Leadership Honor Society. A total of 37 students, alums, faculty, and staff were initiated into the organization.
President Wesley R. Fugate, Dean Mary Beth Williams, and Professor Joshua Legg were O∆K members from previous institutions. Their affiliations helped open the door for Wilson College to join this prestigious leadership fraternity. Senior Sarah Schaffner will serve as the first president of the circle, supported by Nathaniel Pimentel as vice president and Linda Boeckman as treasurer/circle administrator. Williams will serve as the advisor, and Legg will be the faculty advisor.
Sally K. Albrecht, chair of O∆K’s Board of Trustees, announced, “Omicron Delta Kappa proudly welcomes Wilson College as our newest campus circle. Student, faculty, alumni, and staff leaders may now be recognized for exhibiting O∆K’s positive vision and ideals within their campus and community. In addition, student members will be eligible to participate in the Society’s national opportunities, including scholarships, internships, campus grants, and leadership development programs.”
Fugate said, “I understand the value that an O∆K circle can bring to a college as it provides wonderful opportunities to recognize campus and community leadership. Bringing on O∆K will recognize and foster collaborative leadership and further promote the ideals of scholarship, service, integrity, character, and fellowship as we boldly move into our next 150 years.”
The new chapter will begin regular meetings when the spring semester commences. Activities will include helping with student research day, service learning, development within Phoenix Leaders, and social events. The annual initiation ceremony will be connected to the Fall Homecoming/Family weekend.
O∆K, the National Leadership Honor Society, was founded at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, on December 3, 1914. A group of 15 students and faculty members established the Society to recognize and encourage leadership at the collegiate level. The founders established the O∆K Idea—the concept that individuals representing all phases of collegiate life should collaborate with faculty and others to support the campus and community. O∆K’s mission is to honor and develop leaders; encourage collaboration among students, faculty, staff, and alumni; and promote O∆K’s ideals of scholarship, service, integrity, character, and fellowship on college and university campuses throughout North America.

Wilson alumna, Hannah Patterson 1901, will be honored for her important role in the women’s suffrage movement with the dedication of a roadside marker in her name on the anniversary of her birthday, Thursday, Nov. 5. The ceremony takes place on campus along Route 11 near Sharpe House and will be live-streamed on Wilson’s Facebook page.
Attendees will include Wilson College President Wesley R. Fugate, Chambersburg Borough President Alice Elia, National Votes for Women Trail Pa. Coordinator Robyn Young, Hankey Center Director Amy Ensley, Past President of the Alumnae Association of Wilson College Mary Cramer, and Wilson College Alumni Relations Director Marybeth Famulare.
2020 is the centennial of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. To celebrate this milestone, The National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites (NCWHS) and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation have partnered to launch a new historic marker program commemorating the history of women’s suffrage in the United States. Markers highlight sites on the National Votes for Women Trail. The trail, a project of the NCWHS, identifies the many sites that are integral to the suffrage movement and makes them accessible on a mobile-friendly website to be easily searched by location, suffragist, ethnicity, and a variety of other criteria.
The Pomeroy Foundation, a private foundation, provides grants to recognize historically significant people, places, or things across the United States instrumental to women’s suffrage. The Foundation is committed to supporting the celebration and preservation of community history. To date, it has awarded over 1,100 roadside markers and plaques nationwide.
Hannah Jane Patterson was born in Smithton, Pa., in West Newton Township, Nov. 5, 1879. After graduating from Wilson College in 1901, Patterson moved to Pittsburgh, Pa., and began working on reform issues, including juvenile justice, child labor laws, and public health.
In 1904, she was among a small group of women who formed the Allegheny Equal Suffrage Association. The organization expanded and established the Equal Franchise Federation of Western Pennsylvania. By 1912, Patterson was elected to statewide office as the Chairman of the Woman’s Suffrage Party of Pennsylvania. In this capacity, she directed the three-year campaign to add a suffrage amendment to the Pennsylvania State Constitution in 1915.
Under her leadership, the party headquarters were moved from Philadelphia to Harrisburg to more effectively lobby the members of the state legislature. Although the amendment failed, Patterson was recognized for her political acumen and organizational skills. In 1916, she was elected Secretary of the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) under Carrie Chapman Catt. Patterson worked out of NAWSA headquarters in New York City and directed the individual state’s efforts to secure suffrage amendments to state constitutions.
When NAWSA leadership offered its organizing abilities to aid in the war effort during World War I, Patterson was named Resident Director of the Woman’s Committee of the U.S. Council of National Defense. She directed the 48 state divisions and the 18,000 women’s organizations, including coordinating the flow of information between the federal agencies and the state divisions. This work earned her the Distinguished Service Medal in 1919. Following the war, she was appointed a member of the War Risk Insurance Advisory Council under the direction of Charles Evans Hughes and an assistant to the Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker. Patterson continued to focus on women’s issues and politics throughout her life.
After having served as an alumna Trustee to Wilson College from 1913 – 1917, Patterson was named a Lifetime Trustee of the college in 1922 and served in various capacities, including as chair of the Honorary Degree Committee until her death, Aug. 21, 1937.
The College has added three majors, beginning fall 2021, to the wide choice of majors already available. All are growing in popularity with students and importance with employers nationally—Finance, Criminal Justice, and Sport Management.
These majors continue Wilson’s tradition of providing academically rigorous and profession-oriented programs enhanced through a liberal arts education. Employers prize this combination of career-specific skills and knowledge with the ability to think creatively and communicate effectively. These three majors will position graduates to pursue careers in industries that are expected to provide well-paying, professional, and stimulating careers for decades to come.
“Finance is the seventh-largest major in the US. Looking at some projections, employers will be hiring people in the business and financial areas at an increase of 10 percent a year through 2026,” said Thomas Armstrong, assistant professor of business, economics, and finance. The major will cover corporate finance, investment markets, and institutions. It will prepare students for careers as personal financial advisers, financial managers, budget or finance analysts, loan officers and credit analysts, stock brokers, and investment bankers.
“There is no start-up, small business, medium-size corporation, or large corporation that does not need the financial component that a finance major provides,” Armstrong said. Criminal Justice is a popular major nationally with over 50,000 degrees awarded in the 2017-2018 academic year alone. “Wilson’s Criminal Justice major will be a bachelor of arts degree rooted in the liberal arts, with a social justice focus, and an emphasis on diversity and underserved communities and transforming communities,” said Jill Hummer, associate professor of political science.
The major will prepare students for a wide variety of career pathways and entry into multiple fields. Hummer expects some graduates to go on to law school, while others will use their degrees to enter the workplace directly. Career pathways include “working for the FBI as a corrections specialist, the Department of Homeland security as a homeland security professional, a park ranger, or the secret service. There are also many opportunities in state and local government, including working as a state trooper or as a corrections, probation, or parole officer. And it is a pathway into the private nonprofit world as a victim advocate,” Hummer said.
Sport Management is a program tailored for the sports-minded student interested in a career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the country. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual growth rate for careers in the sport industry is 10 percent, with growth in spectator sports as high as 17 percent.
“Sport Management is a career-relevant program that includes course work in accounting, business, economics, athletic coaching, sport management, exercise science, psychology, and sociology. This major provides broad professional skills in an environment of academic rigor,” said Lori Frey, professor of physical education. “Students will be prepared to lead and manage in an ever-growing field, qualifying them for a vast array of sports careers.”
The addition of these three majors is emblematic of Wilson’s continuing commitment to a relevant and rigorous education that dovetails student interests with employers’ needs. The additions expand student options, meet their interests, and provide them the best possible platform for their professional lives upon graduation.
In a solemn ceremony on a beautiful fall day, members of the Wilson community retired the old Stars and Stripes, which had flown proudly over the Main Green for many years, and replaced it with a new one.
The ceremony was organized by Dawson Zalegowski, a VMT and pre-vet major and resident assistant (RA), who has been living on campus on the top floor of South Hall. From his window, he has an unobstructed view of the green and had noticed that the old flag had become a little weather-worn. As a former boy scout, he knew the symbolic importance of retiring a Stars and Stripes correctly and with the respect it is due.
Zalegowski approached the administration about hosting a formal retirement and replacement of the flag. Cassandra Latimer, Vice President for Marketing and Communications, enthusiastically supported the project. While Latimer took responsibility for purchasing a replacement and procuring the appropriate music for the occasion, Zalegowski set about recruiting participants.
“The people I asked to help were very excited,” Zalegowski recalls. He recruited three fellow RAs and two members of WCGA to form the color guard. Rev. Derek Wadlington volunteered to call out the commands at the ceremony. Prof. Dana Harriger, representing Boy Scouts of America Troop #136, agreed to take charge of the retired flag and decommission it correctly.
gainst the backdrop of the autumnal foliage, with an audience of students, community, and staff, including Wilson President Wesley R. Fugate and cabinet members, Wadlington gave a short speech on the history of the Stars and Stripes. He then called the color guard to order. They honored the colors by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance together. Then, to the bugle call of “Retreat,” they lowered the flag, folded it into the ceremonial triangle, and presented it to Harriger.
The color guard, with Wadlington calling out commands, ceremonially unfolded the new Stars and Stripes and raised it to the bugle call of “To the Colors.” The ceremony ended with the 15’x25’ flag fluttering in the gentle breeze high over the College and Chambersburg.
The color guard consisted of Matthew Wilson and Oliver Perry, officers of WCGA, and RAs Dani Stafford, Angie Zolla, Julie Wrinkler, and Dawson Zalegowski.
ROSEMONT, Pa.— The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Board of Directors announced today that the conference shall suspend all intercollegiate competition through December 31, 2020. Institutions may engage in training and conditioning activities as appropriate during this time while adhering to local, state and national health guidelines and NCAA regulations.
The Board of Directors made this difficult decision to extend the suspension of intercollegiate competition after reviewing the latest information and recommendations detailed in the Core Principles for Resocialization which was circulated to the membership by the NCAA Sport Science Institute last week.
The Board of Directors and other administrative groups in the conference shall continue to assess all available data and the rapidly-evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as it relates to the viability of safe intercollegiate competition and travel for all athletic programs in the spring semester. The Board of Directors shall reconvene by November 30 to reassess the status of intercollegiate competition.

Elissa Heil, dean of the faculty, and Jean Hoover, the registrar, are pleased to announce the 258 students who made it onto the Dean’s List for spring 2020. To receive this honor, a student must maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 for the semester. Given the disruption caused by the closure of campus for the second half of the semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving this GPA is truly impressive. Congratulations to all who made the Dean’s List!

President Wesley R. Fugate, Ph.D., announced that for the health and safety of its students, faculty and staff, Wilson will hold classes remotely for the fall semester. The decision was made in light of the increased spread of the COVID-19 virus nationwide, new guidance and restrictions from the CDC, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the NCAA, and the limited availability of testing.
In making the announcement, Fugate said, “We have concluded, in consultation with faculty senate, that the safest approach is to deliver our curriculum through robust online, remote instruction for the upcoming semester. This decision is an incredibly difficult one to make, but based upon the increasing number of positive COVID-19 cases across the country and the marked impact this is having on college-aged young people, we feel it is the right one.”
he decision was made in part because the new guidelines and restrictions that have emerged over recent weeks, coupled with the limited availability of testing, would have significantly restricted the on-campus experience for students. Also, the shift to remote learning for the entire semester provides students and their families with clarity and certainty and avoids the disruption that might occur otherwise.
Fugate said, “We know how disappointing this is for our students, and we join [them] in that pain. Our faculty and staff have been working incredibly hard to prepare to be together this fall, and I thank them for all their diligent work this summer. I know they, like me, wish for the day our entire Wilson family can be on campus.” In acknowledgment of the challenges facing students and their families, Wilson will offer each student who completes the fall semester one January term course at no additional tuition charge.
To ensure students receive the high-quality Wilson education that they have come to expect, the College has purchased the requisite technology and provided faculty and staff with enhanced training. The student development and academic support services teams will be available and ready to serve every student and help each individual navigate the semester. Fugate said, “The Wilson experience will be different, but we hope to create memorable and lasting moments virtually, in addition to the necessary support to help [students] succeed.”
Wilson may provide limited housing for students who cannot live at home because doing so would cause them hardship or because their home environment could not support remote learning. Students who are housed on campus will be required to abide by all COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will be required to wear face coverings, except when eating or in their rooms. Dining services will be limited, and group and face-to-face meetings, including extra-curricular activities, will not be permitted in adherence to social distancing guidelines.
Fugate and the college leadership are hopeful that the situation around the virus will improve, and face-to-face instruction can resume in January. The College will provide updates as details of new opportunities for students become available.
