Wesleyan College - First For Women

09/19/2026

At Wesleyan, women aren’t competing for the spotlight. They are the main event. 🏆

So, a conversation about the rise of women’s sports, and the challenges that remain, feels right at home here.

Join us Monday, Sept. 21, for “Slaying the Trolls! How Women’s Sports Continue to Prove Its Critics Wrong!”, a virtual campus-wide convocation featuring sports economist and author Dr. David Berri.

Drawing from his book Slaying the Trolls, Dr. Berri will examine the economics behind the growth of women’s sports and explore issues that remain, including pay disparities, market valuation and the criticism women continue to face as athletes and fans.

The event is sponsored by Wesleyan Professor of Economics Dr. Ying Zhen and marks the 11th campus-wide convocation she has volunteered to sponsor since 2019.

📅 Monday, September 21st | 7:00 PM
💻 Zoom
🎟️ Free + open to the public. Register at: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/hkEQlyfQTHSUPzn4kvxuLw

Our first Discovery Day of the year started with a story - actually, quite a few of them. 💜

Storytellers Macon brought students, staff and faculty together to share their experiences, discover the power of telling their own stories and listen to the stories of others.

And that’s exactly what Discovery Day is about: learning by doing and discovering something new about themselves or the world around them. Experiential learning isn’t an occasional special event at Wesleyan; it’s fundamental to how our students learn and grow.

And at Wesleyan, being known matters. Sometimes, that starts with having the confidence to tell the story only you can tell.

Northeast High School was the second stop on the Presidential Tour! And, President Blight's visit brought up an important question for students considering where they want to go to college: Do you want to be known, or just a number?

At large state schools, it can be easy to get lost in the crowd. Large lecture halls can mean hundreds of students, which makes it harder to build relationships with professors, find mentors, get involved and step into leadership roles.

That experience looks different at Wesleyan! Smaller classes create space to raise your hand, ask questions, debate ideas, share your perspective and, most importantly, be known by your professors.

And that connection doesn’t end when class does. Professors become mentors who help you find opportunities, recognize your strengths and, when it’s time for what's next, they can write a recommendation based on actually knowing you. Wesleyan’s alumnae network extends those relationships even further, creating connections that can last well beyond graduation.

That’s the value of a relational education: being seen, being heard and having the opportunity to lead.

Thank you, Northeast High School, for welcoming President Blight!

There’s something new to howl about at Wesleyan. 🎙️🐺

Earlier this week, we celebrated the premiere of "The Howl," the featured podcast of Wolfpack Media - Wesleyan’s new student-led production company created through the Digital Production course.

And when we say student-led, we mean it. Students are collaborating to produce podcasts, videos, promotional content, campus features and other original media, taking on roles in hosting, audio production, editing, technical production, marketing and more.

For Charlie Cainion, getting to help build something new has made the experience especially meaningful.

"I feel like I’m making history by participating in this," she shared. "I like that students are able to showcase their talents, what they can do, and also gain skills."

Abby Gleaton described the brand-new course as operating "almost like an ad agency," with students working together to create and promote projects for real audiences. And The Howl is just one part of what Wolfpack Media has planned.

The idea started with Dr. Melissa Williams, who saw Wesleyan’s podcast room and thought, "Why not?" With a class large enough to think beyond a single podcast, the concept grew into a full student production company.

Now, "The Howl" is bringing student voices, campus stories, interviews, Wesleyan sports, announcements, entertainment and conversations worth howling about to the mic. And the students behind it want the Wesleyan community to help shape what comes next.

"The Howl is here," Dr. Williams said. "We are going to have some outstanding shows, and we need suggestions. We want to know: What do the students at Wesleyan want to know?"

Have suggestions? Drop them in the comments section! And, find “The Howl" on YouTube under Wolfpack Media.

President Blight kicked off her first Presidential Tour of the school year by asking Howard High School juniors and seniors a pretty important question: What are you looking for in a college?

Their answers? Community. A strong education. Resources. Financial aid. Internships. Student life.

As students begin their college search, President Blight encouraged them to look beyond the surface and think about where they’ll truly fit. “You’re interviewing us just as much as we’re interviewing you,” she said.

At a small college like Wesleyan, students have opportunities to raise their hands, raise their voices, get involved and discover how they can set their resume apart with paid internships, research opportunities and the chance to study abroad. And, most importantly, our students receive personalized attention; they aren’t just a number.

Thank you, Howard High School, for having us! We can’t wait to welcome you to Wesleyan next.

Yesterday, Student Life hosted Wesleyan’s Self-Care Fair - giving students a chance to slow down, connect and recharge.

As one of our signature events focused on mental health and wellness, it created space for open conversations, reminded students that support is available, and connected them with resources available right here on campus.

Wolves, as the semester continues, remember to take care of yourself; check in on your people, and know that support is always within reach.

ICYMI: More students are choosing Wesleyan, and more people are choosing to invest in their future. 💜

WPGA News 's Destin Howard stopped by campus to talk about two milestones worth celebrating: Wesleyan welcomed its largest incoming class since 2011, with our first-time, full-time cohort growing more than 80% in just one year. At the same time, Wesleyan raised a record $23.56 million in a single year - the highest annual fundraising total in College history.

Nearly 190 years after Wesleyan first opened doors for women, that momentum is helping us open even more doors for the women who will come next.

In UNO, a +4 usually means chaos: more cards, more sighs, more drama. 🃏

But this +4? We’ll take it. No skipping. No arguing. No challenging the play. Just four more reasons to love being a Wolf!

Deal accepted. 🙌🐺

Last weekend’s destination? Columbus, Georgia - where our Wolves took on the rapids during a whitewater rafting adventure. 🚣‍♀️🐺💜

At Wesleyan, we believe experiences beyond the classroom are an important part of the college journey, especially since they give students opportunities to try something new, connect with one another and discover more of the world around them!
