VOLUME 54, NUMBER 1 APRIL 2012 NURSING Nursing graduates excel in national professional exam
Message from Iowa Wesleyan College’s President
Dear alumni and friends of Iowa Wesleyan College:
The University of Iowa recently reported that their graduation rate for student-athletes is
74 percent and 70 percent for non-athletes. The U.S. Department of Education measures
graduation rates over six years. Thus, these figures mean that for a group of 100 freshmen student-
athletes enrolling at the University in the Fall 2005, 74 of them graduated in the Spring 2011. By
national standards for public universities, these are commendable figures and our
colleagues at the University are to be congratulated for their record.
To meet the standards of our mission and the values reflected in our traditions, we
are pursuing strategies that will help us attain similar graduation rates for all students
at Iowa Wesleyan College; however, our intent is to meet and exceed these graduation
rates over four years rather than the six-year standard employed by the Department of
Education. Attaining this goal motivates the work we are pursuing on campus.
The first Saturday in February marked an important date in our pursuit of this
goal. On that day, the College hosted its first Scholarship Day as part of the College’s
new approach in awarding institutional financial aid. A group of academically and
artistically talented students were invited to campus as part of the competition for
merit scholarships. These students were followed by peers invited to participate in two
more Scholarship Days this spring. Through scholarships applications, interviews with
faculty members, the submission of essays and participation in group activities, students
competed for a share of the five million dollars of institutional scholarship aid we will
award to qualified students.
We are committed to identifying, recruiting, educating and retaining students who will
succeed at Iowa Wesleyan College.
Once enrolled, our students will connect with the people and opportunities that will prepare
them for life. The institution of the new academic Honor Code next fall, for example, will
provide more opportunities for students to become engaged in the life of the College and to
express their values for honesty and integrity. The transition to the NCAA’s Division III non-
scholarship athletic programs will permit more students to participate in Iowa Wesleyan’s team
sports. Curricular changes will deepen student learning, a process that our internal assessment
measures suggest is well underway.
These and other efforts we are pursuing will enable the College to serve our students better.
After all, preparing “students to succeed in a changing global environment” is the reason Iowa
Wesleyan College exists. Every program and activity at Iowa Wesleyan must be weighed against its
role in promoting that mission. Measuring our success in meeting that mission begins with our
graduation rates.
Thank you for your continuing interest in and support for Iowa Wesleyan College. I look
forward to seeing you on my upcoming travels to visit alumni and friends around the country. Of
course, if you plan to be near Mount Pleasant, please allow yourself time to visit the campus. All
of us here welcome the opportunity to show you examples of how we are pursuing our mission.
Sincerely,
Jay K. Simmons, Ph.D.

a photo of a group of male students, and asked readers, “Remember when?”
Wow, did readers respond! Though not everyone could name all members of
the group, and others had to dust off old copies of the Croaker to come up with a
complete list, the photo generated a lot of great responses.
The photo is from the 1979 Croaker, which identifies the group as the Knights of
Golden Lyre. Pictured are (Row 1) Randy Mauck, Tony Voss, Mike McCLure; (Row 2)
Jay Hauenstein, Chuck Pettrone, Dave Ballman, Larry Tener; (Row 3) Kent Mauck,
Wyman Martin, Dave Faust, (Row 4) Tim McKinley and Jeff Baughman.
Here are excerpts from the responses we received:
What fun to see an IWC photo from my era! I recognize
everyone in the photo, though I can’t put a name to them
all…

My hubby Chuck and I had this one nailed the night we
got The Purple and White. Thanks for the memories.
Susan Weber Pettrone ’80
... it was Randy Mauck’s idea. Thanks for posting the
picture. Brings back great memories!
Russ Vance ’79
Thanks for the memories - I got out my old Croakers and
went through them to make sure I could remember these
guys correctly! Lots of great memories and lots of friends lost
