WHY? A WOMEN’S COLLEGE

Choosing a women’s college like Wesleyan provides students with a unique and empowering educational experience. By prioritizing the female voice, nurturing individual talents, and offering valuable opportunities, we play a vital role in propelling women toward leadership positions, creating spaces for growth and professional development, and accelerating progress towards gender equality. There is a competitive edge that happens at a women’s college. Graduates of a women’s college are twice as likely to say they feel prepared for life after graduation. They are also more likely to say they are completely satisfied with their education and feel it is a good investment.

A LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE According to the World Economic Forum, the top skills companies want are analytical and creative thinking skills - both hallmarks of a liberal arts degree. A liberal arts education teaches you how to think, not what to think. In today’s job market, global competencies like cultural awareness, communication, and adaptability are in demand. Virtually all job openings will place importance on problem solving, analytical skills, interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and collaboration. Wesleyan will help you develop these tangible, transferrable, and practical professional skills that will help you to positively influence people and project outcomes.

WE PREPARE DOCTORS, LAWYERS, JUDGES, CEOS, ENTREPRENEURS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

A hallmark of the Wesleyan experience is the opportunity to conduct research as an undergraduate in the labs of Wesleyan faculty, and our institutional support for the presentation of independent research by students at professional meetings. Biology and neuroscience double major Andrea Felix ’21 knew that medical schools look for students who have developed research skills as an undergraduate. Being able to do research was an essential part of Andrea’s decision to apply to Wesleyan. “I wanted to start conducting research on my first day. Dr. Holly Cole (assistant professor of psychology) welcomed me into her lab with open arms and I worked with her all four years.”

“Working with a professor in her lab allowed each student to grow into better teammates and improve skills like communication, finding previous research, and ideation. I used these skills in other classes, too. I learned to take the lead and instruct others on making valuable contributions to a team.” 12 20

MOCK ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM We strive to build relationships, address multiple learning styles, and incorporate creativity, storytelling, nature-smart learning, and play across the subject matter. The elementary education major will find herself publishing a children’s book, going on a scavenger hunt to demonstrate mathematical teaching methods, hosting a storytelling festival, traveling to outdoor playgrounds, and hiking in our on-site arboretum. SIMULATION LAB Wesleyan’s nursing simulation lab is equipped with six human patient simulators; a state-of-the-art control room containing audio and video equipment capable of recording all student simulator experiences; a pediatric intensive care unit; a medication dispensing system; and several other unique features. MURPHEY ART BUILDING The ample space in Murphey rivals that at many larger institutions, and offers the equipment necessary to explore 2D, 3D, and multi-media art making. Murphey is surrounded on three sides by a 100acre arboretum that provides an outdoor classroom to explore creativity and innovation through the lens of nature.

INTERNSHIPS

Whether going to work for an organization, business, or nonprofit, internships provide skills and knowledge in preparation for any profession. Studies have shown that students who take advantage of internships have

increased critical skills as they enter the workforce. Working with the Center for Career Development, students have access to professional development support as they tighten their résumés and interview skills, and make connections to internship opportunities locally, in Atlanta, and across the country.

SAVANNAH POLK

Savannah Polk 23’ is working as an assistant at the Deadwyler – Heuman Law Firm in Macon, GA. Polk began her internship with Deadwyler at the beginning of her senior year at Wesleyan. Polk’s employers later offered her a job which will allow her to continue gaining experience while she studies and prepares for law school. Polk was able to get hands-on experience in her future career field through opportunities such as shadowing in court and working on client cases.

“My internship has turned into a job. After graduation, I will continue working at Deadwyler - Heuman Law Firm as an assistant while I study and prepare for law school.”

ALYSSA MILLER JESSICA GUERRERO ’20

SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR Jessica spent the summer of her junior year working as an intern at Amazon. An advertising and marketing communication major, she gained first-hand experience on Amazon’s social media customer service team. Leading a team of eight. She created individual development plans, helped associates understand the performance bar, and supported them in reaching their goals. She even developed a concept that Amazon plans to implement globally. After graduation, Jessica accepted a full-time job with Amazon.

“Always give any internship your very best because the connections and experiences will help prepare you for future jobs.”

Wesleyan College freshmen Alyssa Miller says her film internship with Visit Macon led her to change her major and inspired her to move towards her dream career. Miller has assisted with film research, location scouting, communicating with production companies, and assisting with the creation of a film trail coming soon on the Visit Macon App.

“My internship advisor and I worked hand in hand on creating a “self-made” internship that gave me the experience I needed.”

IHUNANYA MBATA-IBERI ’06

CHARLINE VAN DER BEEK ’15

INTERNAL MEDICINE-HOSPITALIST

FROM ATTACHÉ TO GLOBAL DIGITAL ENGINEERING

While studying at Wesleyan, Nigerian native Ihunanya was selected for a summer medical education program at Yale University School of Medicine, and the following summer she was selected for the Gateways to the Laboratory Program sponsored by the Weill Cornell/Rockefeller/SloanKettering Tri-Institute M.D.-Ph.D. program. Ihunanya graduated from Duke University School of Medicine in 2012. While at Duke she had several opportunities to experience tremendous personal growth that clarified her professional goals, including brief outreach work in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and a year-long research project as an NIH-Fogarty Scholar in Gaborone, Botswana, at the Botswana-Harvard AIDS Institute Partnership.

A former attaché for the foreign ministry, Charline worked for the Permanent Mission of Austria to the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, Switzerland. Today she works as the Head of the President Office at Akkodis, a global digital engineering company and Smart Industry leader.

The following year, she decided to earn a joint master’s degree in health policy, planning, and financing at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the London School of Economics.

Before earning her master’s degree in European public affairs from Maastricht University, Netherlands, Charline was a four-year member of the equestrian team at Wesleyan and graduated magna cum laude with a double major in economics and political science. She credits the Center for Career Development for helping her start her career. “My online portfolio was actually the reason I was chosen for the internship with the European Union, the internship that led me to find the job I have now.”

MONICA MOHANTY ’18

LEAH ROBERTS ’08

Earning her degree in biology with a minor in studio art, Monica credits Wesleyan’s liberal arts curriculum with allowing her to combine this unique set of interests. “I found that working with clay and 3D sculpting tools made me better at using a scalpel during dissections in the biology lab. These transferable skills have influenced the way I hold my hand and the way I apply pressure.”

Leah’s contributions in the field of molecular diagnostics during the COVID-19 pandemic made a difference in the lives of more than a million people. In March 2020, Leah helped Ipsum Diagnostics Molecular develop a highthroughput method of testing that was not being used by the CDC. Leah’s lab managed a ramp-up from 100 samples per week to 10,000 samples a day in a matter of months. Under her leadership, Ipsum was the first lab in Georgia and the twelfth in the country to receive FDA emergency authorization.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Monica served on SGA all four years and as president her senior year, brought attention to the national “All In” campaign to ensure women’s voices are represented in politics, and organized “I Stand With Immigrants” to support the plight of students who are undocumented immigrants (DREAMERS). An internship during her junior year ignited her desire to practice in rural and underserved communities in the areas of obstetrics and gynecology. Monica has since been accepted into the Mercer School of Medicine where she is studying and working to become a physician.

Charline represents Austria at several UN organizations and UN specialized agencies, but she finds the digital work she does the most interesting. Geneva is home to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) which sets technical standards that ensure the Internet works worldwide (for example, IP addresses are based on standards set by ITU).

MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS COO

Leah was thrust into the position of molecular diagnostic manager and her normal day-to-day tasks grew on an exponential scale. Labs across the country that use the same equipment began using Ipsum’s protocols to start their own processing. In September 2021, Leah was promoted to chief operating officer at Ipsum. Leah is fulfilling a vital need for diverse female role models in the field of science. She is a woman of color at the helm of lifesaving technology during what could be considered the greatest crisis the human race has faced in recent history. Earning her degree in biology from Wesleyan College was her first step in accomplishing these remarkable achievements. ACCELERATING EQUALITY FOR WOMEN Since 1836
