The Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation has awarded Wilson College a $25,000 grant to support students age 25 and older who are pursuing a bachelor’s degree and need financial assistance.
The Newcombe Foundation, a Princeton, N.J.-based charitable organization, has supported mature students at Wilson College since 1986. The Newcombe Scholarships for Mature Students enroll students through two programs: the Single Parent Scholars Program and the Adult Degree Program.
The Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation is an independent foundation that began in 1979 as the result of a bequest from its namesake, a Philadelphia philanthropist. The foundation continues Newcombe’s support of students as they pursue degrees in higher education through scholarships and fellowships.
The M&T Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of M&T Bank, recently awarded Wilson College a $2,500 grant. This is the fourth year the foundation has funded a scholarship for a student with financial need who is enrolled in one of Wilson’s health sciences majors, with preference given to a nursing student. The foundation “strives to strengthen communities by providing support for a diverse range of civic, cultural, health and human service organizations,” according to its website. M&T, based in Buffalo, N.Y., and with locations in Chambersburg, has also supported Wilson College in the past through the M&T Bank Endowed Scholarship and by contributing to an outdoor learning pavilion at the college’s organic farm.
After holding tuition for traditional undergraduates without an increase for the past eight years–a span that included a 17 percent tuition reduction in 2014–Wilson College will increase tuition for traditional undergraduates and adult degree program students by 3 percent for the 2019-20 academic year. The tuition adjustment translates to an additional $712 in tuition for full-time traditional students. With the increase, tuition and fees for traditional students living on campus will rise from $36,189 to $36,901 in 2019-20. Room, board and fees for 2019-20 will remain at current levels. The Wilson Board of Trustees, whose members voted on tuition and fees at their May 11-12 meeting, decided to hold the line on tuition for graduate students, as well as students in the Teacher Intern Program (TIP), for 2019-20. Wilson has been distinguished as a “Best Value” college by U.S. News & World Report for 17 of the past 18 years─including a 2018 ranking of 5th best value school among regional colleges in the North─and has been recognized as a Tuition Hero and in a number of other rankings for its commitment to value. The last time the College increased tuition for traditional undergraduates was in 2011-12. “The time has come for a modest increase to keep up with rising expenses and inflation,” said Wilson President Barbara K. Mistick. “The College remains committed to value and affordability, but we can no longer avoid a modest tuition increase. We believe that after eight years, a 3 percent adjustment for 2019-20 is fair.” Wilson’s traditional undergraduate enrollment provides the single largest source of revenue to the institution. The 3 percent tuition hike for traditional undergraduates and adult degree students is expected to bring in an additional $470,000 in revenue for fiscal 2020. Wilson College works with all prospective students to develop a financial aid package that will make their college education as affordable as possible. Nearly $19 million in aid is awarded through the College annually. The College also offers a Student Loan Buyback plan that pays up to $10,000 toward qualified students’ federal Stafford Loans upon graduation. Since Wilson’s 2013 adoption of a series of measures aimed at rejuvenating the College and putting it on a path toward fiscal sustainability, the College has experienced significant enrollment growth. Total enrollment for fall 2017 was 1,216, which was up 84 percent over fall 2013 when enrollment was 662 across all programs, including traditional undergraduate, adult degree and graduate.
Wilson recently signed a dual enrollment agreement with St. Maria Goretti High School that allows qualified Goretti 11th- and 12th-graders to take classes at Wilson. The accord, Wilson’s 10th dual enrollment agreement, also opens Wilson programs to faculty and staff of the private school in Hagerstown, Md.
Under the terms of the dual enrollment agreement, Goretti juniors and seniors with a grade-point average of at least 3.0 can enroll in and receive full college credit for up to two courses per semester. The students will take classes at Wilson unless a cohort of at least 12-15 students wants to enroll in the same course, in which case the class may be offered onsite at the high school and taught by a Wilson faculty member.
“These kinds of partnerships provide a path for students to earn college credits while they’re still in high school,” said Wilson Vice President for Enrollment David Boisvert. “Dual admissions agreements give high school students a head start in college, allowing them to finish their degree sooner and save money on tuition.”
For Goretti employees, the dual enrollment agreement, which took effect March 1, means staff and faculty can enroll in Wilson adult degree or graduate programs at a discounted rate.
Wilson continues to work with independent schools and school districts in the Tri-State area to provide dual enrollment opportunities. Current agreements include the Chambersburg Area, Greencastle-Antrim, Fannett Metal, Waynesboro Area and Cumberland Valley school districts, as well as with the Cumberland Valley Christian School, Global Vision Christian School, Shalom Christian Academy and the Franklin County Career and Technology Center.
Wilson Enters Agreement with HACC
Wilson College and HACC, "Central Pennsylvania's Community College," recently signed an expanded agreement allowing HACC associate degree graduates to seamlessly enter Wilson, bringing all of their credits earned with a grade of C or better with them.
The agreement is a win for both institutions and their students, while contributing to efforts to increase educational attainment in Pennsylvania, according to Wilson President Barbara K. Mistick. She said the agreement with HACC is a step toward improving access to Wilson’s bachelor’s degree offerings for community college graduates.
“It’s a way for us to partner with the community college to create pathways for students who want to come to Wilson,” Mistick said. “We want to make it easy.”
A national and state movement to increase postsecondary educational attainment–the number of Americans who hold degrees and other high-quality credentials–is underway. In Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf has set a goal of 60 percent of the state’s residents earning an associate or bachelor’s degree, or high-value certificate, by 2025. In 2014, the most recent year for which data are available, only 43.8 percent of Pennsylvanians had reached that level of attainment, a report from the Lumina Foundation states.
Meanwhile, the demand for workers with degrees or advanced training is growing, even in times of low unemployment. According to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, two-thirds of all jobs created in this decade will require some form of postsecondary education, while only about 40 percent of adults in the U.S. currently have achieved that level of education.
“Jobs are getting more complicated and that’s why Pennsylvania is working toward a goal of 60 percent with a postsecondary degree by 2025,” Mistick said. “One of the ways for Wilson to participate in that effort is through partnerships or collaborations with community colleges and even high schools.”
The benefits of higher levels of education extend not only to employers, but more significantly, to students. “The data are clear: a college degree is key to economic opportunity, conferring substantially higher earnings on those with credentials than those without,” according to The College Payoff: Education, Occupations Lifetime Earnings, a report on lifetime earnings by level of education published by the Georgetown center.
Drawing from U.S. Census Bureau data, the report outlines the increased earning potential over the course of a lifetime, with an associate degree holder earning, on average, $423,000 more than a person with only a high school diploma, and a bachelor’s degree yielding an average of $541,000 more than an associate degree.
“People with bachelor’s degrees earn nearly $1 million more than high school graduates over their lifetime, have a lower unemployment rate and they’re happier,” said Mistick. “With these kinds of partnerships with other institutions, Wilson College is responding to workforce needs while helping more students create a path to a bachelor’s degree, knowing that degree is going to deliver to them (a higher income over their lifetimes).”
Under Wilson’s articulation agreement with HACC, qualified associate degree graduates are guaranteed admission to Wilson with full junior status. Students who identify their desire to continue at Wilson while working toward their associate degree will be connected with Wilson’s advising resources and have their application fee waived.
The two colleges have shared their curricula and academic requirements, and are working to strengthen organization and planning between the institutions to ensure a smooth transition and positive student experience.
A scholarship for HACC students enrolling at Wilson is also in the works, officials said.
“Collaboration with academic programs, student services, mentoring and athletics are just a few of the benefits that will come from this agreement,” said Wilson Vice President for Enrollment David Boisvert. “This partnership will encourage collaboration, opening opportunities that otherwise would not be possible without an agreement in place. We’re excited.”
Wilson is looking to forge similar agreements with other community colleges to improve access to Wilson’s bachelor’s degree offerings for those college’s graduates, according to Mistick. “This creates a template for us that we think is replicable with other community colleges,” she said.

The Wilson College Master of Special Education program has received approval of an autism endorsement curriculum from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, a credential that will benefit teachers and others who work with people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability. The CDC estimates that one in 59 children born in the United States will have ASD, a 15 percent increase in the past two years.
As the number of people on the autism spectrum increases, demand for teachers and others with some ASD training is also growing. Whether for teachers or others working with people with autism, completing the autism endorsement curriculum will add to their skill set and give them an edge in employment opportunities.
Wilson will begin offering the new autism-focused courses – all of which can be taken online – in fall 2018. The courses will allow students to increase their knowledge about autism, including characteristics, assessment, instruction and behavior interventions.
In a school setting, those who would benefit from the courses include special education and other teachers, school psychologists, principals, guidance counselors, reading specialists, speech and language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists and home and school visitors.
Although the autism endorsement courses are being offered through Wilson’s Master of Special Education program, students don’t have to be enrolled in it to take the graduate-level courses, according to Associate Professor of Education Lynn Newman, who chairs Wilson’s Division of Education. However, students must have a bachelor’s degree to take the courses.
Only Pennsylvania-certified teachers are eligible for the autism endorsement – for which they can apply to PDE after successfully completing the course requirements – but those working in other occupations could take the courses as professional development activity, Newman said.
The autism endorsement requires the completion of four courses, two of which are already required for the MSE degree, so MSE students only need to take two additional courses to be eligible for the endorsement.
In seeking the autism endorsement for Wilson College, a process led by Assistant Professor of Education Theresa Hoover, faculty in Wilson’s Department of Education noted that school administrators, certified teachers and community agencies have expressed a need the additional credential. In addition, Wilson receives regular inquiries as to whether the college offers the endorsement.

Rain forced the 148th annual Wilson College commencement ceremony indoors on May 13, but that didn’t dampen the mood of the assembled graduates, guests and speakers, thanks in large part to the address delivered by comedian and author Jane Condon. True to form, Condon kept the audience assembled in Laird Hall laughing throughout. Condon, who received an honorary degree presented by President Barbara K. Mistick, used some of her favorite quotations as a way to dispense pithy advice to the Class of 2018, mixing quotes from historical icons such as Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and Margaret Mead with those of comedians like Robin Williams, Lily Tomlin and Wendy Liebman. Condon also shared some advice she said she has given to her own two sons: “You can’t always control the world, but you can choose your attitude—whether to be positive or negative. You can make a zone of kindness wherever you go.” Approximately 214 degree candidates were recognized during commencement, including 113 graduate students and 101 bachelor’s and associate degree students—all of whom must complete Wilson degree requirements in order to receive diplomas. During the ceremony, Wilson Trustee Robin J. Beinstein conferred trustee emerita status in absentia on Marguerite Brooks Lenfest ’55. Lenfest of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.—a former Trustee and, with husband Gerry, generous donor to her alma mater—was unable to attend commencement, but was honored at an event in April at Longwood Gardens. Associate Professor of Computer Science Donald Kelley, who is retiring after nearly 20 years of service, was recognized with trustee emeritus status. For more on the commencement festivities, including photos and a video of the entire ceremony, go to wilson.edu/commencement.
Nationally known comedian and author Jane Condon will address the graduating class at the 148th annual Wilson College commencement ceremony, to be held at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 13.
Condon, who will receive an honorary degree from the college, was named “Audience Favorite—New York” on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, won the nationwide “Ladies of Laughter” contest and appears in theaters around the country with the “Ladies of Laughter: Funny and Fabulous” tour. Her commencement address is entitled, “What I’ve Learned from Comedy.”
This year, approximately 101 students will receive bachelor’s and associate degrees during Wilson’s commencement ceremony, which will be held outside on the college’s main green. (In case of rain, the ceremony will be held in Laird Hall.) For the first time, more graduate students will receive degrees than bachelor’s and associate degree students, with approximately 113 graduates of Wilson’s master’s degree programs in accountancy, education, educational technology, humanities, fine arts and nursing earning their degrees.
During the commencement ceremony, philanthropist Marguerite Brooks Lenfest of Huntingdon Valley, Pa.—a 1955 Wilson graduate, former college trustee and, with husband Gerry, generous donor to her alma mater—will be recognized in absentia with trustee emerita status, the highest honor a college can bestow on a trustee. Lenfest, who is unable to attend commencement, was honored at an event held April 25 at Longwood Gardens.
Faculty emeritus status will be conferred on Wilson Associate Professor of Computer Science Donald Kelley, who is retiring after many years of service. Emeriti status is the highest honor that can be bestowed on former faculty members and is reserved for those whose service has been extraordinary.
A baccalaureate service will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 12, in Alumnae Chapel at Thomson Hall.
Condon began her career as a journalist for Fortune and Life magazines. While living in Tokyo, she wrote the 1985 bestselling book, A Half Step Behind: Japanese Women of the ’80s, which sold out in Japan. It was during speaking engagements for the book, when Condon would make the audience laugh, that her new career as a comedian was born.
Dubbed “an uppercrust Roseanne” by the Associated Press, Condon has appeared on television programs such as ABC’s The View, Lifetime’s Girls’ Night Out and NBC’s Today Show. She was named one of “10 Comedy Best Bests” in the annual comedy issue of Backstage.
Condon graduated from Wellesley College in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and later earned a Master of Education in children’s television from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education.

Wilson College students will present the results of their undergraduate and graduate research at Wilson’s 9th annual Student Research Day on Friday, April 27. The public is invited to join Wilson students, faculty, staff and administrators at all events.
Approximately 41 students will give oral presentations based on their work, which was produced in conjunction with faculty advisers, beginning at 8:45 a.m. Sessions will run concurrently in the Brooks Science Center auditorium and John Stewart Memorial Library’s Lenfest Learning Commons. In addition, a dance presentation choreographed by senior Shannon McKenzie and performed by students will be held at 11:30 a.m. in the dance studio in Davison Hall. All presentations will conclude by 5 p.m.
In addition to the oral presentations, other students will share their work graphically in a poster session to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 in Lenfest Commons.
“Student Research Day is an important day at Wilson College, providing a time to showcase the remarkable achievements of our students, “said Elissa Heil, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty. “It’s also a celebration of our strong student and faculty collaboration, on which Wilson College prides itself.”
Presentations will focus on the humanities, sciences and social sciences, including the prestigious Disert Scholar session from 4:20 to 4:50 p.m. in the Brooks auditorium. The Disert award, given to the student with the best honors thesis proposal, went this year to Deborah Rifflard of Harrisburg, Pa., who will present the results of her research on whether taking probiotics can be effective in achieving weight loss in humans. Her research project, “The Effects of Probiotics on Canine Weight and Fecal Fat Content,” specifically studied the effect on weight of administering probiotics to a control group of whippets.
Other presentations will include examinations of: ways to prevent points of bacterial contamination in microbreweries (research was done in collaboration with Roy Pitz Brewing Co. in Chambersburg); how the media portrays individuals with autism and the potential for negative stereotyping; the efficacy of different composting processes used on Wilson’s Fulton Farm; identifying effective practices in the training of assistance dogs; using DNA technology in efforts to conserve hoofed mammals (research was conducted through Wilson's partnership with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va.); and lynchings of African-Americans in and around Chambersburg contrasted with stories of individuals who fought for their rights as citizens during the Civil Rights Movement.
Group presentations will include a look at the public health challenges of sugar cane worker camps in the Dominican Republic (delivered by students who went on a Wilson-sponsored medical mission in January); observations from students who took part in the college’s Martin Luther King Travel Seminar, which involves a week of travel to key civil rights sites in the South; lessons learned by staff members of Wilson’s Billboard student newspaper at a college media convention.
Wilson’s Student Research Day, which is sponsored this year by Volvo Construction Equipment and Highmark Blue Shield, will conclude with the annual Academic Awards presentation at 6 p.m. in the Brooks auditorium.
Student Research Day at Wilson was founded in 2010 as a way to recognize and celebrate the research, scholarship and creative activities of students and their faculty mentors. For more information, visit www.wilson.edu/student-research-day.
