Wofford’s new Environmental Studies major offers both a BA and BS track with the goal of building a diverse community of participant�scholars who appreciate the ways in which scientists, politicians, artists, business leaders, social scientists, scholars, poets and writers approach the environment, and who seek to become informed, lifelong stewards of the natural world. Classes and research will take place at the Environmental Studies Center at Glendale Shoals, a LEED�certified building.

The Association of American Medical Schools’ Medical School Admissions Require�ments states that “medicine needs individuals with a strong foundation in the natural sciences, highly developed communication skills, and a solid background in the social sciences and humanities.” Wofford is especially successful at providing this ideal background.

Directed by Dr. Li Qing Kinnison, Wofford’s Chinese major recognizes the increasing importance of China in international affairs, as well as the employment advantages for students who can speak Chinese. It will be beneficial for students to understand the culture and to communicate effectively in Chinese, not only for them in their careers, but for general citizenship in the world community as well.

The Summer Quest program is an extension of the Success Initiative, which was created to develop students’ ability to exert a disproportionate, positive influence on society in the 21st century. At Wofford, you can design and propose your ultimate quest without worrying about the cost. From all of the concepts proposed, Wofford selects the most promising ideas and pairs them with private donors to bring the experiences to life.

Inspired by a visit to Wofford by famed medical anthropologist Dr. Paul Farmer, Achini Bandara applied for Wofford’s Summer Quest program. She designed and proposed her own internship at a clinic for HIV patients in Malawi, Africa. She knew the experience would change her life, but couldn’t have imagined the impact she would have on Malawi. After watching crude surgeries and witnessing the poor medical conditions first-hand, Achini came home, raised more than $11,000, and built a new clinic. She even traveled back to Malawi to oversee the construction—all before graduation day.

Okay. You may not hear Byron McCane com-pare himself to Indiana Jones, but you will hear comparisons. You’ll probably make a few of them yourself. This Ph.D. from Duke is equal parts professor, archaeologist and personal guide to a life of adventure. He’s an authentic life-shaper who is eager to demonstrate his own techniques for continual challenge and reinvention. He has excavated in Israel and in Rome. He’s an author, historian and theolo-gian. He has also appeared in documentaries on the History Channel, National Geographic, and the Discovery Channel. As Professor of Religion (and Chair of the Department) at Wofford, he’s right down the hall, inviting you to join in the adventure of learning.

The Summit orientation experience brings new students together with outdoor activities and intellectual discussions to create memories that will shape friendships for a lifetime.

The Novel ExperienceOther schools assign summer reading for incoming students, but Wofford serves it up a little differently. We call it “The Novel Experience” and combine dining and discussion at local restau-rants to help you get to know the town, the teachers, and each other, while fully exploring the novel. Eight student essays about the book are then delivered directly to the author who, in turn, visits the campus, discusses the work with the entire class and dines privately with a winning essayist.

This year’s novel is A Gracious Plenty, by Sheri Reynolds, author of The Sweet In�Between and The Rapture of Canaan �an Oprah book club selection and New York Times best seller�, among others.

American Association for Higher Education’s Project DEEP (Documenting Effective Educational Practice) recognized Wofford as one of 20 campuses that engage students and as a place where students would “fit in and matter.”

A variety of learning communities are offered to students each year. Examples include:

Math, Murder, & Mystery

Genethics

Theatre Physics

Biology and the Languages of God

The Interim is an intense micro-semester in January that goes beyond traditional academic boundaries, allowing students and faculty to devote the entire month to exploring new interests in and out of the classroom, at home and abroad.

Interim Examples Include:

Capitol Hill Internships....................................................Workshops on subjects ranging from practical financial life skills to medical school application procedures....................................................Courses linking innovation, improvisation and the Grateful Dead ....................................................Fieldwork in Ecuador and the Galapagos....................................................Understanding Hawaiian plant medicines...in Hawaii....................................................Culture, government & history studies in China, Japan, Mexico, Namibia and Peru....................................................Medical internships in Chile

Does it work?Colleges that accept gifted students typically have gifted graduates. That’s expected. But how much real “growth” takes place during a bright student’s time on campus?

It doesn’t matter what your background in sports may be. Terrier fever runs rampant on this college campus. Everybody rallies toward the common goal. It represents everything that Wofford stands for.

Wofford is one of the smallest NCAA Division I colleges in the country, butwe’re home to 18 intercollegiate teams, including the 2007 Southern Conference Champions in football and baseball.

in 2008, Wofford’s class of 1956 commissioned Wofford graduate Carl McCleskey and his wife Betsy to sculpt “The Wofford Terrier.” The piece, which honors “the undying Wofford Spirit,” stands at the entrance of the Campus Life Building. Together with its granite base, the sculpture weighs in at almost 1,000 lbs.

Since 2003, Wofford's official Boston Terrier has roamed the sidelines in front of the student section during every home football Saturday at Gibbs Stadium.

Terriers train like pros

As a student here, you’ll pump iron, push the rock, and stretch your limits in world-class facilities like Russell C. King Field, the Richardson Physical Activities Building and Gibbs Stadium that currently serve as the summer training camp facilities for the National Football League’s Carolina Panthers.

Wofford sports are a popular part of student life and offer a healthy environment for teamwork and pride for all members of the college community. For our athletes, Wofford’s programs mirror the rest of the college’s holistic approach and focus on the whole student. Coaches understand that Terriers aren’t only interested in success on the team.

(The deposit is $200 for commuting students.) If students choose not to make a commitment at this time, applica-tions will be reconsidered for the regular application deadline.

Students admitted for the regular application deadline may secure a space by submitting a non-refundable deposit on or before May 1. The deposit is $300 for students who will be living on campus and $200 for commuting students. The deposit will be applied toward the compre-hensive fees that are due prior to the fall semester.

Application Anxiety?

It’s true. We are a selective college. Academic achievement is necessary for admission into Wofford. But grades and scores alone won’t get you in or keep you out. A wide range of criteria, like leadership, creativity and community involve�ment, also factor into the decision. Every applica�tion is personally reviewed by an admission counselor and acceptance is based on any number of qualities.

The bottom line? If you think you might belong here at Wofford, we encourage you to apply.

Enter fearlessly. Emerge accom�plished. The con�summate leader. Socially conscious. The Global Citizen.

Wofford’s President, Benjamin Dunlap, has been a presenter at the prestigious TED conference as one of the world’s “50 Remarkable People.” Among theother 49 were former President Bill Clinton, Nobel Laureate Murray Gell�Mann, and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group. President Dunlap’s lecture was also reprinted in the Feb. 2009 Reader’s Digest.

Our academic approach and success are led by our presi-dent, Benjamin Dunlap.

He is a vocal proponent of the leadership benefits provided by a holistic, liberal arts education designed, by definition, to address the academic needs of the whole student, rather than the limited concentrations of any single major or interest.

Holistic learning is something he has both taught and lived.

After attending Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, he graduated from Harvard University with a Ph.D. in English language and literature. Dr. Dunlap also holds an honorary doctorate from Sewanee: The University of the South.

He is a moderator for events such as the Aspen Institute’s Executive and C.E.O. Seminars and has designed and moderated seminars in Europe, Africa, and the United States for corporate clients as varied as the Netflix Corporation, Young & Rubicam, the Nova Chemical Corporation, and the Arab Banking Corporation. He has also been a writer�producer and on�camera talent for public television, with major contributions to more than 200 programs, for which he has won numerous national and international awards.

Oh yes. He’s also performedas a principal dancer for the Columbia City Ballet.

Wofford’s President is accessible. Dr. Dunlap lives in a historic home in the heart of the campus. He is frequently joined by students for evenings on the porch or meals in the dining room.
