Wells Receives High Marks in U.S. News and Princeton Review College Rankings

Wells is one of only four New York State private colleges and universities named among the nation’s top liberal arts schools that offer quality education at an affordable price in the 2005 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Colleges. 

“I am very pleased that U.S. News & World Report has again recognized Wells in their ‘Great Schools, Great Price’ list,” said Susan Sloan, Wells’ director of admissions. “We are very aware of the rising cost of higher education, and we believe there is a need for schools that offer quality but keep cost accessible to families. Our students today still benefit from Wells’ 30% tuition reduction policy of several years ago.” 

This year Wells is ranked #25 on the U.S. News list of the top 40 liberal arts colleges that offer the best value. The other New York schools named are Colgate (#8), Vassar (#23), and Hamilton (#28). 

Additionally, America’s Best Colleges ranks Wells in the 109th position in its “National Liberal Arts College” list. “We are implementing new academic program initiatives that are likely to move us up in the rankings,” said Sloan. “For now, we can celebrate being ranked in the vicinity of the top 100 liberal arts colleges. We’re competing with hundreds of schools, some with vast resources compared to ours, and we’re good and getting better.”

According to U.S. News & World Report, the formula used to determine the best value rankings relates a school’s academic quality to the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of financial aid. 

The “Great Schools, Great Price” section contains two lists: “Liberal Arts Colleges” and “National Universities.” Six New York universities are named among the 50 schools ranked on the 2005 “National Universities” best value list, including Cornell (#17) and the University of Rochester (#32). Wells has affiliated academic programs with these two schools. 

Wells also scored national rankings in the 2005 edition of the Princeton Review’s The 357 Best Colleges.  Wells was named #15 in the nation for being best at encouraging class discussion and #20 on the list of most beautiful campuses.

The class discussion rankings are based on how much class time is devoted to discussion of course material compared to the amount of time a professor spends lecturing. “With our location on the shore of Cayuga Lake and our historic campus architecture, Wells is frequently cited as having a beautiful campus,” said Sloan. “It’s also important to note that our location in the Finger Lakes region provides unique opportunities for hands-on learning and research. We recommend that all prospective students make a campus visit to Wells.” 

Unlike U.S. News & World Report that relies on complicated statistical formulas to compute its annual rankings, the Princeton Review relies on surveys of college students to determine which schools offer the best in a wide variety of categories. More than 110,000 college students were surveyed to determine this year’s rankings, according to the Princeton Review.

Sloan said, “The U.S. is the world leader in higher education because of the amazing options students have. Somewhere in the nation there is a school that perfectly matches your life goals, learning style, and social preferences, a place that will enable you to succeed. The challenge for admissions professionals, students, and families is connecting the student with the school that is just the right fit. The Princeton Review’s college guide is a publication that helps make those connections because you can learn about outstanding programs at schools you might not necessarily encounter any other way, and the rankings are made from the perspectives of students who live and study at the schools.”

Annual teaching and advising honorees are announced 

Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College Ellen Hall recently announced the recipients of Wells College’s annual teaching, advising, and student life awards. Given annually, the awards recognize excellence in each respective area. 

“All three awardees are outstanding members of the Wells College community and have served the college well in many ways,” said Dean Hall. “I am delighted to reward each of them in this way.”

Dean Hall heads the committee responsible for selecting the recipients each year. The committee is comprised of the Dean of the College, two former award recipients, two student leaders, and a college alumna employed by Wells. Students nominate their professors for the awards, and the committee chooses the final candidates.

This year, Carol Shilepsky, professor of mathematics and computer science, received the college’s 2003-04 Award for Excellence in Teaching. Thirteen professors were nominated. 

Professor Shilepsky is described by her students as very creative, open-minded, and adaptable. “She makes her subject area engaging. Learning, as well as the learning process, is interesting and fun in her classes,” wrote one student. Professor Shilepsky was also praised for her use of the liberal arts philosophy and experiential approaches in teaching: “She encouraged me to take as many humanities courses as possible and to make connections to computer science in terms of real world problems,” wrote another student nominator. 

Being honored by the campus community for 30 years of service to Wells this year, Professor Shilepsky received her B.A. from Connecticut College and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. She teaches Internet Architecture and Programming, Software Engineering, and Database Systems, among other courses. 

Professor of History Cynthia J. Koepp was chosen from among four faculty nominees to receive Wells’ 2003-04 Excellence in Advising Award. 

Students praised Professor Koepp for always being available and for her willingness to answer questions, her knowledge of college policies, and her encouragement of independent thinking. “Professor Koepp usually won’t tell you how to fix a problem, but she will guide you in the right direction so you can find the answer yourself,” wrote a student. Another reported, “This professor is an amazing asset to the advising field. I would recommend her to any student.” 

Professor Koepp received her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Toledo and her Ph.D. from Cornell University. Classes she teaches include Introduction to the History of Science, Popular Culture in Early Modern Europe, Writing History, and Colonial Encounters. She joined the faculty in 1992 and was promoted to the rank of full professor this spring. 

Erika Feigenbaum, visiting instructor of philosophy, received the 2004 Student Life Award. Student government president Tazeem Pasha ’04 said, “This year, Cabinet opened up the nominations to the entire student body and received a great number in favor of the winner.”

In her nomination letter, a student praised Ms. Feigenbaum for “becoming an integral part of Wells in a short time, bringing a valuable depth of knowledge about social justice and inequality.” Other students highlighted the winner’s commitment to the importance of education. Students admired the recipient’s ability and desire to “teach us about and engage us in discussions about race, class, gender, and their intersection.” 

Ms. Feigenbaum earned her B.A. and M.A. at Cleveland State University and is completing her doctorate at The Union Institute and University of Cincinnati. She joined the faculty this year as a replacement for Professor of Philosophy Laura Purdy who is on leave. 

The awards were presented at the college’s 36th annual Honors Convocation celebration held in May. Students, faculty, and staff members who have excelled in academics, leadership, the arts, service, or on the athletic field are recognized at this event. In Wells’ early days, prizes and awards were given during May Day festivities and at Commencement ceremonies. As part of its centennial celebration, the college combined elements of both these events and held its first Honors Convocation in May 1968. Today the college presents 40 awards annually; 23 of them are endowed.

What Three New Wells Graduates Are Up To

Eighty-nine Wells College seniors celebrated the end of undergraduate study during the 136th commencement ceremony held on Saturday, May 29. Among them are three extraordinary young women:

Economics and management major Judit Temesvary of Ithaca, New York. Judit, originally from Szentes, Hungary, moved to Ithaca in 2001 with her parents just so she could study at Wells. She completed her four-year degree in three years. “I was excited about the opportunity to take interesting economics and international studies courses, and always ended up with twenty credits each semester,” said Judit. “I also did a lot of internships for credit. I have had limited funding for my education, so graduating early was an obvious way to save money.”

While at Wells, Judit was awarded the Kauffmann Foundation grant to participate in an internship at the M&T Bank in Ithaca, working with numerous small business owners in the community. She also spent a month at the Bank of New York on Wall Street in New York City as an intern, and conducted internships at Cornell’s Applied Economics and Management Department, and with the Wells College International Studies Department.

Judit has accepted a full fellowship at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. She will study economics with a concentration in international trade and political economy. After graduate school, she plans to become a researcher in the international arena, working for either a research university carrying out economic policy research, or for an international organization, working on economic development policy.

Psychology major Deborah Dhuy of Auburn, New York. While at Wells, Deborah served as the athletic office manager, a teaching assistant, and a residence assistance in her dorm. Between her junior and senior years, Deborah pursued an internship in New York City with Lucky Duck Productions. Her interests lie in film directing and producing, and this rewarding experience earned her film credits for two different projects. While interning in Manhattan, she was housed by a Wells alumna. She plans to continue her studies in this discipline at Boston University’s graduate program this fall. Deborah is a graduate of Auburn High School, also completed minors in theatre and creative writing at Wells, and was recently inducted into the national honor society Phi Beta Kappa.

Economics major Samantha Schenck of Baldwinsville, New York. During her time at Wells, Samantha served as the co-chair of the Women’s Resource Center and was a teaching assistant for two years, tutoring students for two different faculty members. Samantha has been accepted into the Ph.D. program at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst, where she will study alternative economic models. After finishing her terminal degree, she plans to teach economics at the college level. Samantha is a graduate of Homer Central School in Homer, New York.

Former Aurora resident honored for her national fundraising expertise 

Patricia Callahan, president of the Wells College Alumnae Association, announced last week that Patricia Parnie Purcell Wahlen, Wells Class of 1966, is the college’s 2004 Alumnae Award recipient. Pat was honored on Saturday, June 12 during Wells’ annual Reunion Weekend for her unparalleled accomplishments as a fundraiser in education and the performing arts. Pat is currently a resident of Mentor-On-The-Lake, Ohio.

“Like so many Wells women before her, Pat Wahlen is a pioneer,” said Wells President Lisa Marsh Ryerson.  “She has led the way for women in the field of fundraising. When she first became a fundraiser, the field was dominated by men. Pat is one among a small group of extraordinary women who broke the glass ceiling as a nationally recognized fundraiser. Wherever her career has taken her, she has never forgotten Wells and Aurora. We are fortunate to have her guidance as a member of our board of trustees, and are proud of her success.”

Ms. Wahlen majored in philosophy at Wells. After receiving her bachelor’s degree, she pursued graduate studies in education at Boston University then returned to Aurora and worked briefly as a math teacher in Cayuga County. She joined Wells’ development staff as an administrative assistant in 1969, which was the start of her fundraising career. In 1976, after several promotions, she was named the college’s vice president for development. 

She then went on to hold development positions at Goucher College and the University of Maryland. In 1985, she became director of development and public relations with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and subsequently led a fundraising effort that raised $40 million for that organization. At the time, it was the largest campaign in the history of American orchestras; and her success created a sensation in the symphony world. 

In 1993, she was appointed director of development for the Cleveland Orchestra in Ohio, regarded by many as the nation’s top symphony. Ms. Wahlen raised $116 million for the orchestra’s Twenty-First Century Campaign, exceeding the original $100 million goal.  She raised a total of $195 million for the Cleveland Orchestra during her seven-year tenure. She was named one of Northern Ohio’s top ten most influential women in 1998 by Northern Ohio Live magazine. Since 2000, she has been a private fundraising consultant. 

Reflecting on her phenomenal success as a fundraiser, Ms. Wahlen said, “I see how things can be better, how things can become excellent - it’s that way in my development work and also in consulting. I can see the end; I can envision the goal. In campaigns, you often reach a point where everyone gets tired. I motivate people when their enthusiasm is slipping, even when I’m not feeling all that motivated myself. It takes vision and determination.”

Ms. Wahlen received the award and presented remarks during a ceremony held at Wells on Saturday, June 12, 2004, as part of the college’s annual Alumnae Reunion celebration. 

The Wells Alumnae Award was established in 1968, the year of the college’s centennial celebration, and is presented annually to one or two alumnae in recognition of their service to the college and their communities and/or their professional accomplishments. 

Previous Alumnae Award winners include Florence K. FitzPatrick ’25 (biologist, author); Mildred Walker Schemm ’26 (novelist); Jean Clark ’45 (environmentalist); Laura Nader ’52 (anthropologist, educator); Lillian Vitanza Ney ’60 (physician, cardiologist); Pleasant Thiele Rowland ’62 (entrepreneur); Kathryn Walker ’64 (actress, filmmaker); and Margaret Pericak-Vance ‘73 (geneticist).

This year, South Africa is celebrating its first decade as an apartheid-free nation. Apartheid was legally and politically dismantled in 1994. To recognize this historic milestone, a week-long, international conference, South Africa: Ten Years of Freedom, was held in March in Pretoria. The meeting brought together more than 100 scholars and leaders from around the world at the invitation of the South African government. 

Wells College Professor of Political Science Tukumbi Lumumba-Kasongo was one of 40 scholars selected to present papers or to serve as chairs and discussants. He chaired and presented his views in the session on “Pan-African Perspectives on the Transition in South Africa.” 

The conference was organized by the Africa Institute of South Africa - a government research unit. “Our task was to provide critical perspectives and opinions to the South African government and people. They want to do a self-assessment of achievements since the end of apartheid, which will help leaders plan for the future,” said Professor Lumumba-Kasongo. “President Thabo Mbeki spent several hours with us, listening, and taking notes, taking time out from campaigning.” 

Professor Lumumba-Kasongo is especially interested in the relationship of South Africa to the rest of the continent and believes cooperation and unity among African countries will lead to an overall improvement of the lives of people in that part of the world. He applauds Mandela, Mbeki, and the African National Congress for their roles as peacemakers and their commitment to an African Renaissance. 

He said South Africa is a dynamic, democratic country with a strong economy; but it will have to re-define itself again. “Ethnic groups within the country must build relations with one another, and this has not yet happened. Since the end of apartheid in 1994, expectations have been very high. We need to remember it has only been ten years, and it might take 100 more to open the historical boundaries that have divided people. Liberal democracy is helping the process; however, what is really needed is education, especially with a good curriculum in the social sciences and the humanities as well as human-centered science and technology.”

As a member of the executive committee of the African Association of Political Science and Vice President for that organization representing the central region of Africa, he is vitally involved in shaping the discourse on educational thought and policy. He believes the idea of an African Renaissance must be infused in teaching so South Africa’s young people will learn more about the history and culture of African countries and people. 

During the conference he saw a high level of optimism about the future among South Africans. This positive vision, cautioned Professor Lumumba-Kasongo, can only be realized by expanding economic opportunities in addition to improving education. 

While South Africa is rich in natural resources and has a strong agricultural base, about 35% of its citizens are unemployed. Among blacks, the rate of unemployment is 60% or more in some areas. “The market economy must be able to employ people, and they must have knowledge and skills in order to enter the job market.” 

At Wells, Professor Lumumba-Kasongo teaches World Politics, Comparative Environmental Policy Analysis, Approaches to International Relations, and Violence and Refugees, among other courses. He earned his B.A. with honors and Diplôme d’Agrégation from the Université Libre du Congo, his M.A. from Harvard University, and a second masters and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.

A prolific author and popular speaker, his books include The Dynamics of Economic and Political Relations Between Africa and Foreign Powers, The Rise of Multipartyism and Democracy in the Global Context, and The Political Re-mapping of Africa. He is also a visiting research fellow at the Centre for the Study of International Cooperation in Education (CICE) at Hiroshima University, Japan.

Professor Lumumba-Kasongo believes higher education in the United States can contribute to greater equality in Africa and around the world through increased emphasis in the curriculum on global and international perspectives and a corresponding increase in related research. 

“In the U.S. we need to expand our global studies and international studies programs,” he said. “We cannot engage people in other nations when we do not know who they are. Through our system of education our citizens can learn about other cultures, global inter-connection, and the reality of the global economy. In the world today, no economy survives alone or in isolation. Education must reflect this condition.”
