Nearly 180 prospective students attended Wesley’s Feb. 19 Open House.

Many high school seniors who attended expressed a range of emotions, from excitement to shyness.

“There is a very good turnout and many students seem interested in Wesley College,” said Colleen Witowski, a student admissions worker.

Witowski said that there were some students who experienced difficulties with name tags because of the huge winds blowing through campus.

They had to return to the admissions table embarrassed to ask for a new name tag.

The Open House consisted of students taking tours of the campus, having lunch in the cafeteria, and attending an activities fair where they could find information about financial aid, admissions and campus organizations.

“I chose Wesley because I think it can better me as a human begin and make me a better leader,” said Raphael Stewart, a prospect. “It also can help me be successful in life.”

Some are considering it for the scholarship.

“I got accepted here, and they offered me a scholarship,” said Kamryn Potter.

Potter and Stewart both said that they liked the small community and the close relationships students have with professors.

“It’s a small school with some nice dorms and a really nice work out room,” said Eric Licause, a prospect.
