Parliament: Warren Wilson College 2011 - 2012
Has something happened here, or have you done something here, that wouldn't have happened anywhere else? “Being a part of such a diverse, outspoken, intelligent community.” “Drag Show.” “I have gotten veggies from our garden and eggs from the chickens raised by my boss.” “I worked on accounting.” “The Triad.” “I made some really good friends I do not think I would have met anywhere else.” “Acquaintance with primitive skills.” “Art!” “I fell into the river while running.” “Watched a mother cow eat her placenta after birthing a calf 15 minutes prior.” “Snakes on the river.” “Snow and sun together.” “EVERYTHING!” “Joined swim team and hiked a lot.” “Everything.” “Shamanic journeys.” “I met the wonderful people I know.” “An anthropological analysis of race relations in Skyrim.” “Leaving one’s laptop and backpack unattended in the Library or Glad and finding it undisturbed upon return.” “Drag Show.” “Organized a fundraiser that students came to.” “I wouldn’t be running through the woods as often elsewhere.” “Experiencing the local Appalachian culture juxtaposed with the wild mix of students on campus.” “Only at Wilson will you see college administrators in drag.”
“Joined the swim team.” “I eat as a vegetarian five days a week.” “I climbed a tree.” “I can’t think of another college where I would have the opportunity to play a vital role in our campus’s security. As a member of the Locksmith Crew, I perform tasks that are vital to the safety and security of my fellow students, a job I take very seriously.” “Worked as a forester.” “Joined the mountain biking team!” “The Drag Show and dance show and maybe even circus.” “Only at Warren Wilson is getting stuck at a cattle-move an acceptable excuse to be late to class.” “Draft horses pulling a bedecked and bedazzled wagon through campus for Mardi Gras.” “Hearing the sounds of pigs through my classroom window.” “Free workshops at the Blacksmith.” “Everything!!” “Recognizing everyone on campus. Everyone.” “Work on a crew and learning skills that I will use the rest of my life.” “I sang the national anthem over the loud speaker system during a soccer game.” “Drag Show!” “Impromptu bagpipe dance party which turned into a water balloon fight.” “I took a nap surrounded by cows.”
“I was diagnosed with breast cancer during winter break of my senior year, and the community at WWC helped me recover from emergency surgery and continues to support me with well wishes, prayers, lifting heavy things, and so many other things. With this loving community behind me, I have found the strength to press forward towards recovery.” - Nina Anmahian Lantis
