Why hello there!
I do hope all is well with you and yours.
We’ve had a simply delightful summer here in my dear Chambersburg and at our lovely Wilson College.
As I look out upon our campus from the second floor of Sharpe House and notice the seasons beginning to change, I have to paws and reflect on how our community has transformed in my time as Wilson’s First Feline. Indeed, as I welcome a new class of students to our Wilson community, I note that our Wilson family has grown to its highest enrollment in the history of the college! I hope you’ll forgive the immodesty, but I must admit that I am pawsitively flattered that the number of students who would want to be in my presence continues to grow. Still, this made me think, what other big changes have occurred in our little community? Well, dear reader, allow me to provide you with an update!
To begin, have you heard the rumor about the improvements to some of our students’ residence halls? Well, I’m here to confirm that it is all true. Indeed, my dear neighbors in Disert Hall have entirely new lounge furniture! Why they can’t be satisfied with just a small pillow to curl up on is beyond me, but if they’re happy, I’m happy. And what’s more, would you believe that our students in Riddle Hall now have air conditioning? Now they can truly be some cool cats, like yours truly.
Of course, besides coming here to Wilson College to spend time with me, our students are taking classes as well, and their options are ever growing. Indeed, there are new programs in computer science, cybersecurity, and educational leadership, with plans to launch programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology. Now, you’ll have to forgive me for understanding virtually none of the words that I have just typed with my very own paws. But if more options mean more members of our family, then by all means, I am fully on board!
Perhaps the most shocking change at Wilson College comes from within my very own Sharpe House. Dear reader, have you seen my dad lately? Why, he has grown a furry face of his own! I believe you humans call it a beard. I must admit, I was completely taken aback when I first observed it. What do you think may have gotten into him? Perhaps he got jealous of my luscious fur coat and wanted one of his own. What is it that they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Well, if that is the case, then consider me flattered!
I do hope you’ve enjoyed this update on the comings and goings at our small but mighty college. I still enjoy the company of my dear friend Agatha the groundhog, but as the weather begins to cool, I know she will soon be retiring for her winter nap. I do find that time of year very lonely, so please do stop in on your next visit to campus. I would be simply delighted to hear updates from other Wilson women and men.
Until next time.
