Muhlenberg College is pleased to announce that the Evening College has been renamed The Wescoe School of Muhlenberg College. The Wescoe School will be introduced Thursday, August 1 at 4 p.m. with an unveiling of a new sign and logo, followed by a reception. The reception and unveiling are not open to the public.
The Wescoe School is named in honor of W. Clarke Wescoe, MD, a member of Muhlenberg's Class of 1941 and former chancellor of the University of Kansas. In 1998, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name the School of Professional Studies for him, recognizing his status as "our most illustrious and accomplished alumnus." In 1955, Wescoe received the College's Alumni Achievement Award.
"We wanted to step away from the generic term 'Evening College' and instead select a name that carries prestige and has a more specific meaning for us," says Dr. James Brennan, dean of The Wescoe School. "Clarke Wescoe has been recognized as being one of the most prominent and respected educators to graduate from Muhlenberg College. His accomplishments as a student, teacher, campus leader, and community leader epitomize the lifelong learner and we feel honored to have his name associated with our programs."
The Wescoe School will encompass the programs currently under the Evening College, including the Accelerated program, the liberal arts program and Summer Study.
