The Class of 2023 gifted a beautiful archway to campus on May 4, 2023. Watch the video below to see the final product! Thanks to the many faculty, staff, alumni, friends and students who helped make this dream become a reality. 

 

Class of 2022

The Kentucky Wesleyan Alumni Association and the Class of 2022 worked together identify, plan and fundraise for their Senior Gift. Right before Commencement, we were finally able to unveil the 8-foot-tall gift on campus!
The new wood carved statue of Wesley N. Panther was placed right in front of our Prospective Student Parking and can be seen all the way from Frederica! We’re so proud of our seniors for dreaming up a gift that will be used by our Panthers for years to come and working hard to make it happen! It has since been added to thanks to the sisters of Kappa Delta – who fundraised together to create the Kappa Delta Welcome Patio in the same space.

Class of 2002

We will forever remember the lives that were lost and impacted by the attacks on 9/11, including our own Thomas Hohlweck, Jr. ’67.
We continue to honor them by displaying a Flag of Honor, which was flown over the site of the terrorist attacks and then framed and placed in the Winchester Center. The flag contains the names of all those that perished in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, United flights 175 and 93 and American flights 11 and 77, including the heroic emergency services personnel who gave their lives to save others.
The Winchester Community Center also houses our commemorative display remembering the people and events that shaped the Class of 2002, given as a senior gift from the class. The Sept. 12 front page of the Messenger-Inquirer is prominently featured.
