Here at Wilson, we are always looking for ways to grow and improve, and this summer is no different.

We currently have several exciting projects underway on campus, including a refresh of our student center, expansion of our residential capacity through the addition of apartment -style housing, and, of course, the installation of a new turf athletic field that will benefit our student-athletes and support the continued growth of our athletic department. We can't wait to show off the final products!

Thank you to all who help make these projects possible!

Last weekend was one of my favorites of the year, Reunion Weekend. On Saturday, I gave the 2026 State of the College address and had the opportunity to speak with and enjoy the company of so many of our passionate alumnae and alumni. As I always say, “Come home often.” We can’t wait to see you again!

On this Mother’s Day, I am even more grateful than most. This year my mom has faced a number of health challenges, but she came home last week, just in time to celebrate her special day. I count myself fortunate to be home in Kentucky to be with her today. Wishing all the Wilson moms out there a very special day. 💙🖤💙

This past weekend, I hosted my annual garden party on the front lawn of Sharpe House to celebrate the undergraduate and graduate Class of 2026 and our Teacher Certification Pathways completers. I had a wonderful time speaking with students and their families as we cherished great memories at Wilson College and looked toward their bright futures.

It is hard to believe Commencement is on Sunday. Each year, the most rewarding part of my job is watching our seniors graduate, even if I am sad to see them go. Last week I had the chance to spend some time with our seniors during the senior cocktail receptions at Sharpe House before they are off to change the world. We reminisced about their time at Wilson, and they shared ways we can make the student experience even better. I have no doubt that these students will make the world a better place.

See you on Sunday, Class of 2026.
