In the human body, the pulse can be felt at the neck, the wrist, behind the knee, on the inside of the elbow, near the ankle, and at other places where arteries press against bone. The pulse that drives the Westminster is felt at many points as well- in classrooms, at campus events, in the New Wilmington community, and in the society where Westminster graduates will thrive, enriched by a solid liberal arts education. Every student is an artery, the motive behind every campus pulsation, without which, our campus would perish. For the past eleven years. President Williamson has served as the heart of this campus, and although the Westminster community will feel his absence, yet another strong, able heart will replace him, assuming the responsibility of retaining the vibrant life of the college. No matter the circumstances, the well-being of our campus is impenetrable. Because of every student, faculty member, and staff member, the pulse of Westminster will resonate in us forever, not just allowing our bodies to function, but allowing our education to advance, our lives to lourish, and our minds to thrive. 1 coordinators - ccssidy neol. bridget roth, comille hawthorne. m ^'1 ni nif-.;."
