Wofford College is a community of support. Faculty advisors support students as they learn to navigate their academic programs. Career counselors offer professional development support. Study abroad advisors educate students on options for global academic experiences. Coaches support student-athletes learning life lessons through Division I competition. At Wofford, everyone — from the counselors in the Wellness Center to the staff in the Sandor Teszler Library — is part of the student support team.
In this Wofford Today, you will meet some of the faces of student support services on campus, and you’ll read about how the Mungo Exchange has become the umbrella for high-impact programs designed to support students in their preparation for success after Wofford. There are also stories about Interim and the 50th anniversary of theatre at Wofford.
The 2020 edition of Princeton Review’s “The Best 385 Colleges” ranked Wofford on the list of the top 25 institutions in the country for “Best Alumni Network,” and I’m not surprised. Our alumni support students through professional mentoring and by offering internship or research opportunities. They return to campus to share their expertise in classrooms and the Career Center, and they give to The Wofford Fund and the Campaign for Wofford because they were supported as students and now want to pay that support forward.
Thank you for being a part of this supportive community and for doing your part to foster student success at Wofford College.
Go, Terriers!
Nayef H. Samhat
11th President of Wofford College
