Dear Wilson College Families,

Happy New Year and welcome to the Spring 2025 semester! As we turn the page to an exciting new chapter, we are filled with optimism and energy for what lies ahead. Whether your student is returning to campus or embarking on their journey with us this spring, we are thrilled to have them as part of the Wilson College community.

This semester, we are delighted to welcome two new members to the Wilson College student development team who will play key roles in supporting our students:

  • Pastor Andy Hart, formerly of Falling Springs Presbyterian Church, has joined us as Chaplain. Pastor Hart is excited to foster spiritual growth, provide guidance, and engage with students of all faith backgrounds.
  • Charles Greene joins us as the new Director of Residence Life. With his extensive experience in student housing and campus engagement, Charles is eager to enhance the residential experience and create a vibrant and supportive living community for our students.

The start of a new semester is a wonderful opportunity for growth, discovery, and achievement. Here are a few tips to help your student make the most of this semester:

  • Stay Organized: Encourage your student to use a planner or digital calendar to keep track of assignments, exams, and important deadlines.
  • Seek Support: Remind them that resources like academic advising, tutoring, and counseling services are available to help them succeed.
  • Get Involved: Joining clubs, attending events, or exploring leadership opportunities can help your student build connections and create a sense of belonging.
  • Prioritize Wellness: Balancing academics with self-care is essential. Encourage your student to maintain healthy habits, get enough rest, and take time for activities they enjoy.

We also want to highlight some important spring dates:

  • Spring Semester Classes Begin: January 13
  • Celebrating MLK Day: “Audacious Faith in the Future,”, presentation by Zyahna Bryant: January 21
  • Spring Break: March 3 to 9
  • ArtsFest: April 7 to 11
  • Student Research Day and Academic Awards: April 18
  • Spring Semester Ends: April 25
  • Finals Week: April 28 to May 2
  • Commencement Weekend: Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 

Your encouragement and support play an important role in your student’s success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions or need assistance navigating campus resources. Together, let’s make this semester a rewarding and memorable experience!

Here’s to a fantastic Spring 2025 semester!

Warm regards,
Katherine Buck
Vice President for Student Development
