The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Board of Directors has made several decisions regarding formal athletics competition for conference-sponsored fall, winter and spring sports.

The CSAC Board of Directors, which had previously suspended competition for fall sports in the Fall 2020 semester as well as competition for winter sports through January 31, 2021, announced today that formal conference competition and conference championships for fall and winter sports shall be cancelled for the 2020-21 academic year.

On November 11, 2020, in a ceremony streamed live, Wilson College chartered a circle for Omicron Delta Kappa (O∆K), the National Leadership Honor Society. A total of 37 students, alums, faculty, and staff were initiated into the organization. 

Wilson alumna, Hannah Patterson 1901, will be honored for her important role in the women’s suffrage movement with the dedication of a roadside marker in her name on the anniversary of her birthday, Thursday, Nov. 5. The ceremony takes place on campus along Route 11 near Sharpe House and will be live-streamed on Wilson’s Facebook page.

The College has added three majors, beginning fall 2021, to the wide choice of majors already available. All are growing in popularity with students and importance with employers nationally—Finance, Criminal Justice, and Sport Management.

ROSEMONT, Pa.— The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) Board of Directors announced today that the conference shall suspend all intercollegiate competition through December 31, 2020. Institutions may engage in training and conditioning activities as appropriate during this time while adhering to local, state and national health guidelines and NCAA regulations.

Elissa Heil, dean of the faculty, and Jean Hoover, the registrar, are pleased to announce the 258 students who made it onto the Dean’s List for spring 2020. To receive this honor, a student must maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 for the semester. Given the disruption caused by the closure of campus for the second half of the semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving this GPA is truly impressive.
Congratulations to all who made the Dean’s List!
