Come Join Us

An Invitation from Rev. Anghaarad Teague Dees*

It is fall in Columbus, one of my favorite times of year. There seems to be a special feeling in the air as the leaves change colors, students move from class to class, social club girls are marching, class songs reverberate in the cafeteria, there is a hum on MUW’s beautiful campus, the gingko leaves are turning gold and the campus seems to be even more magical.

As I look ahead to the days that I will be back in Columbus I am energized by the thought of walking around on campus among the sounds and colors of fall. To come back to the W is always a wonderful feeling, and I invite all alums to come and be a part of the Welty Symposium that is happening October 22-24 and capture a little bit of the W magic.

The alumnae board will be meeting October 24 at 1:30 at the Wesley Foundation and as always we love to have all alums present so that you can hear firsthand the work and progress of the MFAeA. For a complete schedule of the Welty Symposium and MFAeA board activities please see our website. We have lots of plans for the year to continue our support of the university, faculty and students. Again, we are meeting outside the gates…but our hearts will always be loyal to our beloved alma mater. So dear college comrades, come join us.
