Wilson Soccer Scores Big in Italy
The Wilson College women’s and men’s soccer teams took an unforgettable journey to Italy at the beginning of August. Combining athletic training with cultural exploration, both teams played several friendly games and visited some of the sights of Rome, Florence, and Milan.
The women’s team began their trip to Italy in Milan where they trained and had the unique opportunity to meet a goalkeeper from the Internazionale Milano women’s team. They later traveled to Rome where they visited historic sites, including the Colosseum.
Meanwhile, the men’s soccer team trained in Florence with coaches from the Italian Soccer Federation at the renowned Coverciano Technical Centre, home to Italy’s national teams. Their visit also included a tour of the Museo del Calcio, the museum at Coverciano, and a behind-the-scenes tour of the gym and players’ locker rooms.

On Saturday, July 19, Wilson’s Master of Fine Arts students participating in the 2025 Summer Residency presented a final performance and exhibition of works-in-progress during a performance that took them across campus from the Appenzellar-Buchanan Dance Studio to the John Stewart Memorial Library and the Bogigian Art Gallery. This included theatrical and choreographic solo and ensemble performance pieces, site-specific theatrical work, visual art exhibitions, short story readings, and interdisciplinary collaborations.

Launched in Fall 2016, Sarah’s Cupboard is Wilson College’s on-campus food pantry, dedicated to supporting students facing food insecurity. Located in Lower Lenfest and overseen by Andy Hart, the Nancy A. Besch ’48 and Elisabeth Clarkson ’47 College Chaplain, the pantry provides students with access to essential groceries.
This fall, Susan “Evie” Hubbard ’28 collaborated with Hart to create an online ordering system for the pantry. Prioritizing confidentiality and convenience, their goals were to make students feel more comfortable using Sarah’s Cupboard by making the ordering process easier.
With 23% of undergraduate students in Pennsylvania experiencing food insecurity and the rising cost of groceries, Sarah’s Cupboard ensures that no student at Wilson College goes without food. “I am trying to remove every barrier that I can think of for students who need food,” said Hart. By introducing the online ordering system, Hubbard and Hart are making the resource more available and encouraging more students to use this important campus resource.
Alumni interested in helping support Sarah’s Cupboard should reach out to Alumni Relations for more information.
