“I loved WMC, so it’s surreal for me. I never thought that Kate would go here. I thought, ‘We’ll apply, see what happens.’ The Alumni Legacy Scholarship is great and they’ve made it an outstanding experience. I feel so comfortable having her here. This is the perfect setting for her. She’s going to do awesome.”
— Ray Pickersgill ’94
“We did a tour back in April and it was a lot smaller because of COVID. Before that, my dad was showing me around, telling me, ‘This is this building, this is where I worked, this is where my boss was.’ It was really fun to be able to see that and hear all these facts that you might not hear from a tour guide.”
— Kate Pickersgill
“Reagan is going to a much better school than I went to. This place has progressed so much in terms of the campus facilities, diversity, the ability to study abroad, etc. The overall diversity of the classes offered is much better than what I had, so I think the academics are as good or better. I had a great experience, but hers will be an even better one.”
— Bob Pick ’92
“Dad was actually perhaps dissuading me from attending. He just kept saying, ‘No pressure. No pressure.’ But it was one of the few colleges I toured because of COVID. I came here and y’all were very responsive. I applied early decision and I got in, so here I am!”
— Reagan Pick
