Also a huge shout out to SSC Director Tonya Johnson for being awarded Otstanding Staff Member of the Year!!

In July 2022, Cyia Robertson and Skylar Tucker participated in our incoming freshman STEM Summer Bridge Program. As part of the program, they visited Lincoln State Park, where they learned water sampling techniques with Dr. Fulgoni.

This year, as seniors in Dr. Fulgoni’s ecology course, they returned to the field and recreated a photograph from that experience four years ago. Both students will graduate this May, and we are so proud to celebrate their accomplishments!

Congratulations to all of our Honors Convocation award winners and Scholars Day presenters! We are SO proud of you!

We were nominated by Kentucky Wesleyan College Teacher Education to complete the JCPenny-style Portrait Challenge! We figured Honor’s Convocation was a perfect opportunity to strike a pose! We will keep the challenge going and nominate KWC Admissions Office and the KWC Women’s Soccer Team! Wesleyan College

Dr. Fulgoni took her ecology class to Slough Wildlife Management Area in Henderson to visit a wetland. Not only did the students learn about the different hydrology, vegetation, and invertebrates in wetlands but they also spent time picking up trash as they came across it!
