To the Washington College Class of 2003,

I hope 2010 has been treating you well— I know it has been a busy one for me and for
Washington College! I hope you’ll take a moment to review this email for an update on
all that is going on campus and upcoming regional events. I'll be on campus a few times
this month, so if there is anything you would like to know more about- please let me
know!

Alumni Connections:

· The class notes submissions in the Washington College magazine are certainly a great thing for
us alumni to do! Isn’t that the first part of the magazine you read? Aren’t you looking to see what is
new with Jenn? Or to know what Ian has been doing since graduation? Maybe you would like to know
that Rebekah just moved nearby!? You are also checking out the photos of our classmates weddings
and new additions to “2003 family!” You could be the highlight in the next issue, if you get it in before
April 15th!!! (Send you submission via email: classnotes@washcoll.edu. Because of space limitations
we cannot publish every photo we receive, but you improve your chances if your digital photos are of
good quality and at least 300 dpi at a canvas size of 3x5.)

· Also, if you haven’t visited our class website (recently) http://2003.washcoll.edu/ you should
check it out- the concept is much like a virtual yearbook! (And our own Shane Brill has certainly left
his mark on this project!) While you are thinking about your class note- you should submit a “head
shot” and a short biography to be added to our page to Judie Barroll ’88, M’91 at
jbarroll2@washcoll.edu.

· Washington College presents three awards annually to alumni: Alumni Service Award, Alumni
Citation, and Alumni Horizon Ribbon Award. The Alumni Service Award is given annually to an
alumnus/na who has given outstanding and continued support to the College. The Alumni Citation is to
be given to an alumnus/na who has made a significant contribution to, or accomplishment in his or her
field of endeavor or in community or public service. The Alumni Horizon Ribbon Award is given to an
alumnus/na of the past 15 years who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, service or scholarship
in a particular area. Alumni Awards Committee continues to seek nominations- help outstanding
alumni receive recognition by completing an Award Nomination Form. The Committee is also taking on
a project to identify WC Veterans who were killed in action or still living. For more information or
questions, please contact Judie Barroll ’88, M’91 at jbarroll2@washcoll.edu or call her at 410-810-
7143.

WAC HAPS:

· “Back by Popular Demand – Reunion, 2010” is May 14-16. Featuring Alumni performers and
artists this year’s reunion is promising to attract a large crowd. You can check out all of the events
and even register on line at: http://reunion.washcoll.edu/

· The announcement of Mitchell B. Reiss as the next President of Washington

College was made in December. Mitchell B. Reiss, 52, who has served as a U.S.
Presidential envoy, ambassador, policymaker, lawyer, author and university professor,
to be the College's 27th president. Reiss will assume the presidency on July 1, 2010,
succeeding Baird Tipson. In the meantime, a Presidential Transition Team has been
appointed by Chair of the Board of Visitors & Governors, Ed Nordberg ’82.

· The new Hodson Hall complex is now fully operational and the student, faculty
and staff are enjoying every square inch of the new dining facility. (Are you as
jealous as I am?!)

· The Alumni House Renovation is complete with a new entertainment porch. The
$150,000 anonymous matching grant made a huge difference in attracting alumni gifts
totaling over $150,000.

· Spring 2010 enrollment includes 1,226 undergrads and 54 graduate students!

Want to help recruit strong applicants to WC- you can volunteer with our classmate
Jenn Carey!

With all these wonderful changes and positive transformations going on at the
college, it’s a great time to give your annual monetary contribution to the Washington
Fund, or to donate to a more specific area of the college that is near and dear to your
heart. Every donation makes a difference. The college’s advancement website says,
“One of the factors that determines if a college can obtain government grants is not
only how much money it raises, but how many donors contribute.” So not only does
every person count, every gift does add up towards The Washington Fund's $2 million
annual goal. Please consider giving a donation in any amount you feel comfortable for
this fiscal year (ending June 30th). I find dividing my gift over several months allows
me to make a larger gift without feeling the impact- I buy one less latte a week- and
then I can send $20 a month to Washington College! No matter what you can give,
participation in the annual fund is important- and anything you can contribute is
greatly appreciated!

Don’t forget to stay in touch- whether it is through a gift to the Washington Fund,
Facebook, or through Class Notes… it’s been some time since we saw each other every
day on campus- things change! I hope all is well!

Yours with George,

L. Wayles Wilson ‘03
