Happy Founders Day!
Each year we pause to celebrate our roots. In the case of West Virginia Wesleyan College, our roots are intertwined with the West Virginia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
130 years ago, the dreaming, planning, and work of the Founders (people of the conference) resulted in the existence of the school. In the years since, the school has flourished; and fulfilled many of those dreams.
Fruits of this tree are important to both the college and the conference, as shown in this drawing by Tom Bone. The drawing is the result of a conversation during the Annual Conference in June 2019 about how the goals of the college and the conference have weaved together through the years.
Alumni of West Virginia Wesleyan have consistently been leaders in all of these areas. Our alumni are educators, theologians, pastors, legislators, social workers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, military heroes, first responders, scientists, diplomats, and more. They are leaders in their communities, families, churches, and in government at all levels.
