Tennessee Wesleyan Concert Choir’s annual performance with<br />

alumni choir members was a special treat for Homecoming guests.<br />

“There is something genuinely special about bringing alumni<br />

back to campus to reconnect with one another and their alma<br />

mater,” said Anne Montgomery, <strong>TWC</strong> president of the alumni<br />

board of directors and director of the athens evening program.<br />

At Saturday’s Homecoming barbeque lunch on Wesley Commons<br />

Lawn, President Knowles addressed college faculty and staff,<br />

alumni, friends and students, proudly looking back on the college’s<br />

achievements throughout the past year. From record enrollment<br />

to becoming a graduate degree granting institution, Tennessee<br />

Wesleyan met and exceeded many of its goals for the year.<br />

“In the past few months we launched our first completely online<br />

program, an RN to BSN, as well as our first graduate program,<br />

a Master’s in Curriculum Leadership,” said Dr. Knowles. “In<br />

the 14 months that I have been <strong>TWC</strong>’s president, I have seen<br />

the college grow to be a true leader in higher education. This<br />

past year was one for the record books. It was a fantastic year for<br />

academics and athletics.”<br />

With <strong>TWC</strong>’s past year and 2012 Homecoming such a success,<br />

anticipation and preparation for next year’s Homecoming<br />

celebration is already underway.<br />

“I’m looking forward to what <strong>TWC</strong> will accomplish in the<br />

upcoming year and am already excited about planning for<br />

Homecoming <strong>2013</strong>,” said Edwards.<br />

“What we have here on this college campus is truly special and<br />

I’m proud to be a part of the Tennessee Wesleyan family as a staff<br />

member and an alumna. Homecoming is one weekend a year but it’s<br />

the one weekend at <strong>TWC</strong> where past alumni can meet future alumni<br />

and celebrate the Tennessee Wesleyan experience together.”<br />
