Celebrating connections that extend beyond our campus. ❤️💙

NC Wesleyan’s Associate Dean of APS Admissions, Joy Smallwood, recently had the honor of attending the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Thomas. The moment was especially meaningful as Joy and Chief Thomas are sisters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

The connection also reflects the strong ties between NC Wesleyan and our Rocky Mount community. Members of the local Delta Sigma Theta chapter joined us at Rock the Mount this semester, helping welcome our students and celebrate the start of a new academic year.

From campus to community, we’re proud of the relationships that bring us together. ❤️💙

From the classroom to the real world. 🌍

NCWU’s Correctional Institutions class recently welcomed current psychology and Criminal Justice student and newly appointed Correctional Officer Ulrick Volk, who gave students an inside look at what it’s really like to work in corrections.

Joined by Nash Correctional Institution Warden Talena Lee, Officer Volk shared firsthand experiences, career opportunities, challenges, responsibilities and the realities of working in a correctional institution.
Experiences like these give our students the opportunity to learn beyond the textbook and connect what they’re learning in the classroom to careers in the field. 👏

🩺 One of the Great 100!

We are incredibly proud of NC Wesleyan alumna Celina Hawkins '24, BSN, RN, who has been named one of the Great 100 Nurses of North Carolina! 🎉

Celina earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from NC Wesleyan University and now serves as the education coordinator at ECU Health Edgecombe Hospital, where she has spent 14 years supporting professional development, clinical excellence and lifelong learning among fellow nurses.

Her story is a reminder that a nursing degree isn't just about where you start. It's about where your education can take you.
We are proud to prepare the nurses, educators and healthcare leaders of tomorrow.
