Do you listen? Do you really listen? Do you listen empathetically? Do you feel the words you are hearing? Do you HEAR but not LISTEN? If you can answer any of those questions, the required “Empathetic Listening: The Journal Experience” is the answer. Hosted by our very own Dr. Cheryl Tina Fae Cotton, Director of Counseling Services, Professor of Psychology, member of the Board of Trustees, mother to two children, step mother to three children, and former step mother of several other children, the workshop promises to be a building experience.

The workshop is required for all Faculty and Staff and lasts Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. There will be weekly sessions all summer. Please sign up now! As space is limited!

Dear Community Members,

As you may know, we’ve had a tumultuous past few months with respect to Enrollment Management. As Fall enrollment numbers plunged, we made a series of bold administrative moves. First, we fired the entire staff of the Office of Enrollment Management. We then hired consultants to evaluate what was going on. Their report suggested problems beyond the Office of Enrollment Management, so that team was rehired, minus the majority who had found new jobs in the intervening 46 hours. Dr. Knight Waist comes to Willard with years of experience in corporate human resource work. If you’ve ever dined at an Arby’s or Olive Garden, you’ve benefited from Dr. Waist’s expertise!

Welcome Dr. Knight Waist!

Sincerely, Provost Vandergrind

Dear Faculty and Colleagues,

We are really excited to unleash the new promotional material for Willard College. All outgoing materials will feature the phrase “Chose Willard!” This new phrase has been carefully vetted by both our in house team and by Willard College graduate focus groups. We hope this will inspire a new generation of high school students to “Chose Willard!”

Chose Willard!

Sincerely,

Dr. Colney Hatch, Vice President of Marketing and Development
