Hey everyone, my name is Bryan Miller! I will be graduating in May with a degree in Agriculture with a concentration in Ag business and a minor in Business Administration. My junior year of high school I stepped on campus for the first time and within five minutes I told my mom this is where I would go to college. My admission counselor along with the other faculty and staff made the decision easy. Talking with friends from other institutions, the culture and atmosphere at Wilmington is simply different. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime and memories that are priceless. In my time at WC I have had the opportunity to network with industry leaders, learn real life skills outside of the classroom, and join organizations that have led to amazing friendships and opportunities. When not in the classroom or with my friends, you can find me working in the Office of Admission as a Student Ambassador meeting prospective families everyday and sharing why my experiences at WC embody how Wilmington College separates itself from other institutions! #WeAreDubC

Hi everyone, My name is Shelby, and I’m a sophomore studying Ag Education and am involved in several groups around campus. I am involved with the student ambassador program, WC Aggies, and the Equestrian team. My days at Wilmington College have been genuinely memorable because of the hands-on classes and opportunities within their agriculture and equine departments. During my first semester on campus, I was able to get hands-on within my major and out at the campus farm. I am incredibly humbled to attend such a great school with incredible professors and staff members to help make your personal experience your own during your time at WC! #WeAreDubC

Hello, my name is Zachary DeAtley and I am a sophomore at Wilmington College. I am a member of Aggies, actively involved in the FarmHouse brotherhood, and a member of the cross country and track and field team. The reason that I chose Wilmington was because of the many different hands-on experiences that you are able to receive here at the College. Wilmington College has not only allowed me to gain so many friends, but has given me the opportunity to broaden my horizons and gain and learn new experiences that will benefit me for a lifetime. From the moment that I came to Wilmington for my visit, I knew that this would be the place that I could not only gain a great education, but can make many memories, friends, experiences, and be a student and not just a number. Wilmington is my home away from home and has given me countless opportunities. #WeAreDubC

Hello! My name is Sarah Free. I am a freshman at Wilmington College studying Early Childhood Education. I visited WC my senior year of high school and immediately knew it was the one! The professors, the students, and the atmosphere made it feel like home. I am thankful for the opportunities we’ve been given, even when it’s complicated with COVID. My short time here at Wilmington has already shaped me into the person I am today. #WeAreDubC

Hi! My name is Jaclyn Sparks and I’m a freshman majoring in Psychology. When I visited Wilmington my senior year, I immediately felt at home and surrounded by such welcoming people! With my short time as a WC student, I’ve gotten involved with Amnesty International and I’ve fallen in love with the organization, even becoming an officer! Learning about human rights has been so interesting for me. Although COVID-19 has affected much of my year on campus, I’m so grateful for all the work WC has put into making sure I’m on campus as much as possible. I hope that by continuing my education at Wilmington College, I can become the best person I can be. #WeAreDubC

Hi everyone! My name is Carly Fitz, I’m a senior majoring in Agricultural Communications and Political Science. During my time on campus not only have I made life long friends, I’ve also had the opportunity to get really involved. Some of the organizations I’ve had the privilege of being in are Gamma Beta Eta Lil Sis Sorority (formerly Delta Theta Sigma), Collegiate Farm Bureau, Orientation Welcome Leader (OWL), Aggies and hosted my own radio show, Jive@5, on The Quake! I was very active in the lobby trip opportunities on campus for Fall Ag Lobby and Spring Lobby Weekend with FCNL, a Washington D.C. Quaker lobby organization, which led me to my future career. After graduation I plan to advocate for agriculture as a lobbyist in Washington D.C.
