Wheeling Jesuit University is a private, co-educational Roman Catholic university in the United States. Located in Wheeling, West Virginia, it was founded as Wheeling College in 1954 by the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits). Today, Wheeling Jesuit University is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. Approximately 1,300 undergraduate students attend WJU.[3]

Wheeling Jesuit University competes in Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association as a member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC).

History

The seeds of WJU's founding were planted as early as the 19th century. Bishop Richard Whelan, leader of the Diocese of Wheeling, lobbied the Society of Jesus to establish a university in the burgeoning city. Over a century later, Whelan's original vision came to fruition. After a donor, Sara Tracy, left her estate to the diocese, it was able to purchase land from the neighboring Mt. De Chantal Visitation Academy.[4]

Wheeling Jesuit University, then Wheeling College, was founded through a partnership of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston with the Maryland Society of Jesus. Ground was broken on November 24, 1953, and the college was officially opened September 26, 1955. The establishment of the college required $2.75 million in start-up costs.[5] Overcoming the difficulties of temporary facilities and a faculty of just twelve Jesuit priests and four lay professors, the school has grown considerably.[6]

For the 1987–1988 school year, the university became Wheeling Jesuit College, and in the 1990s, gained university status.[7]

On October 22, 2010, the university announced the selection of Richard A. Beyer as its ninth president. Beyer is the first lay president to lead WJU. Beyer took office effective January 2, 2011.[8]

List of Wheeling Jesuit University Presidents

Jesuits

The Jesuit community is active in the process of education. In addition, the Jesuits are involved in many other academic works, such as the Appalachian Institute on Campus.[12] Members of Wheeling's Jesuit Community reside at Whelan Hall, dedicated in 1955.[13] The Jesuit community and tradition for critical thinking are reflected in the school's curriculum and mission.[14]

Admissions and rankings

According to the WJU's page on the U-CAN Network,[15] the average high school GPA of the freshman class is a 3.5[16] The school is given a selectivity score of 81 out of 100 by the Princeton Review[17] In 1997, WJU was named as the fourth best educational value in the southeast, and the 15th best college in the region.[18] In addition, the school is ranked as the 18th best masters university in the south by U.S. News and World Report.[19] The most recent Forbes Magazine rankings placed WJU 180 out of 600 colleges,[20] a marked improvement from their No. 437 rank in 2008.[21] Forbes also ranked the university as the 79th best value in America.[22] The university is ranked among the John Templeton Foundation's Colleges that Encourage Character Development.[23] According to the foundation, such universities "inspire students to lead ethical and civic-minded lives".[24]

Academics

Wheeling Jesuit is highly rated for its academics. There is a strong core curriculum that all students must complete. This core, a noted component of Jesuit Universities, is designed to produce a well-rounded person well trained in humanistic pursuits and the liberal arts. Many faculty are published experts in their field, and are consistently well-rated by students.

In honor of former WJU professor Fr. Stephen J. Laut, S.J., the university offers the Laut Honors Program. Throughout each school year, members of the program meet to discuss and study material related to that year's theme. At the conclusion of a student's sophomore year, students who have successfully completed the Laut program are invited to join the Ignatian Honors Seminar, a more rigorous program for which only six juniors and six seniors are selected.[25]

Wheeling Jesuit encourages all students to become actively involved in research in their desired fields. In many fields, seniors are required to complete a thesis or capstone project. In addition, students are actively encouraged to participate in the annual Student Research and Scholarship Symposium, in which students present research done over the past academic year.[26]

To aid students in their studies, the university offers extensive tutoring services through its Academic Resource Center ("the ARC"). The center, located in Ignatius Hall, offers tutoring for most classes, and provides writing tutors as well.[27]

Graduate Programs

WJU's Center for Professional and Graduate Studies offers five graduate programs, a Master of Business Administration; Master of Accountancy; Master of Science in Nursing; Master of Science in Organizational Leadership; and a Doctor of Physical Therapy.[28]

The Center for Professional and Graduate Studies offers MSOL and BOLD (Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership and Development) and the university's Charleston Center.[29] According to incoming president Richard A. Beyer, expanding the Charleston Center is one of the university's goals.[30]

Clifford M. Lewis, S.J. Appalachian Institute

The Appalachian Institute at Wheeling Jesuit University describes its mission as, "to serve as a center of research and analysis, education and action attuned always to the struggles and dreams of the Appalachian people."[31] The institute focuses on issues such as Appalachian health, hope, education, economic development, and coal impoundment, and has conducted research and produced exhibits regarding this issues.

In 2010, the university hosted the Ignatian Solidarity Network Spring Teach-In, which focused on issues of environmental sustainability and stewardship.[32] In September 2010, the Appalachian Institute held its second annual Appalachian Film Festival.[33]

The Institute for the Study of Capitalism and Morality

As a result of a donation from BB&T, WJU in 2006 became home to the Institute for the Study of Capitalism and Morality. According to its website, the Institute desires to study the roles of capitalism in a free society. The institute also promotes research and essay competitions, forums and debates, and a lecture series. Lecturers for the 2007–2008 school year included Thomas Woods and Doug Bandow.[34] In 2011, the ISCM welcomed former BB&T CEO John A. Allison IV to campus.[35]

Academic Facilities

Acker Science Center

Named for the school's former president Thomas Acker S.J., the center was built in 2002. It is home to classrooms and labs.

Donahue Hall

The oldest academic building on campus, Donahue Hall was constructed in 1955 and was renovated in 1988.[36] Donahue holds faculty offices, labs, and classrooms.[37] The hall is connected to the Acker Science Center via the "Acker bridge."

Erma Ora Byrd Center for Educational Technologies

The Center for Educational Technologies develops cutting-edge educational technology in its 48,000-square-foot (4,500 m2) facility. In addition to the Challenger Learning Center, one of 48 worldwide, and the NASA-sponsored Classroom of the Future, the space agency's principal research and development center for educational technologies, it is home to six other education research projects as well as classrooms and university administration.[38] The facility was named for United States Senator Robert Byrd's wife. Byrd paid the center a visit in September 2007 to celebrate Constitution Day. Byrd's presentation was available online and streamed to schools across the country.[39]

Robert C. Byrd National Technology Transfer Center

In 1989, the U.S. Congress established the National Technology Transfer Center to link U.S. industry with federal labs and universities possessing the research technologies, facilities, and personnel required to turn research efforts into products. With operations in Wheeling, W.V., and Alexandria, VA., the National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC) idevelops partnerships among industry, academia, and government agencies.

NTTC focuses on providing essential services nationwide for the commercialization of technologies developed by federal agencies and other clients. It also researches the commercial and government marketplace to locate available technologies that meet client needs. Federal research and development (R&D) has transferred federal research investment into the development of commercial products.

NTTC's professional services include: • Business and manufacturing consulting • Computer information/database development • Engineering expertise • Financial analysis • Graphic design • Intellectual property management • Market analysis • Professional and technical writing/ publications production • Training

The NTTC's client base ranges from small companies to Fortune 500 firms as well as government, corporate, and academic partners.[40]

One of the NTTC's most recent programs is HEALTHeWV, a medical records system intended to bring electronic medical records, healthy living programs, and health promotion to rural West Virginia.[41]

Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center

The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center at Wheeling Jesuit University was established in 2010. Located in the National Technology Transfer Center, the IEC's goal is to "deliver a range of business training, mentoring and incubation programs designed to help local entrepreneurs – engineers, scientists, researchers, and technology developers – transition ideas and concepts to commercial products and ventures."[42] The IEC provides business training and incubation, in addition to holding professional workshops.[43][44]

Future plans

Though WJU talked with the former Mt. De Chantal Visitation Academy to rent, and eventually purchase the 160 year-old school's facilities and use them as classrooms, the facility's purchase by Wheeling Hospital seems to have ended such discussion.[45] The school hoped to expand its graduate and health science programs, in addition to relocating the school's tutoring program (The ARC, or Academic Resource Center) to the building.[46]

Wheeling Jesuit University competes in NCAA Division II, as part of the WVIAC. Wheeling Jesuit has amassed 47 WVIAC titles and 40 Academic All-Americans, which is proof of WJU's success. On Feb. 28, 2009, WJU was televised nationally on CBS Sports against West Liberty State College in a conference basketball match.

Currently, WJU supports 19 sports, including: Men's and women's soccer, men's and women's golf, men's and women's cross-country, men's and women's track (indoor and outdoor), men's and women's swimming, men's and women's basketball, volleyball, men's and women's lacrosse, softball, and baseball. The newest of these, women's lacrosse, was announced on August 26, 2010. The team will begin play in 2012.[47]

The university also has a club hockey team, which was re-started during the 2010–2011 school year. The team plays in tournaments at the Iceoplex at Southpointe and plays home games at WesBanco Arena.[48] The university also offers a variety of intramural sports such as dodge-ball in the fall, basketball in the winter, and volleyball in the spring.

The university's home indoor athletic events are held in WJU's state of the art McDonough Center.[49]

Campus life

Wheeling Jesuit University's campus features fifteen buildings[50] – six of which are residence halls.[51]

Residence life

Campion/McHugh Halls

Campion and McHugh Halls host most of the male students on campus. Campion is adjacent to McHugh and connected via a common stairwell. The halls share a common lounge, kitchenette, and study area. Rooms in each measure 15'5" W by 10'10" L.[52] Despite these similarities, the halls can be differentiated by the fact that Campion is air conditioned, while McHugh is not.[53] In addition, McHugh is three years older than Campion, having been dedicated in 1959,[54] while Campion was dedicated in 1962.[55]

Ignatius Hall

Ignatius Hall, dedicated in 1993,[56] is a co-educational residence hall for Upperclass students. Rooms are air-conditioned, and have private bathrooms. Each residence floor has laundry facilities and TV lounges, and each room is 12'8" W by 25' L.[57] The hall is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.

Kirby Hall/Sara Tracy Hall

Dedicated in 2000, Kirby hall is one of the most recently build Halls on campus. The Hall houses 64 female students in 32 rooms. Each room has a bathroom, and the hall itself has a kitchen, laundry room, and lounge.[58]

Sara Tracy Hall, dedicated in 1959,[59] is a residence hall for female freshmen. The hall is divided into smaller hallways, all of which share common laundry facilities. The hall provides quick access to facilities, such as the Chapel of Mary and Joseph, the Mailroom, and the cafeteria.[60]

Thomas More

Thomas More houses upperclass students. Thomas More is a themed housing co-ed residential facility. Each quad is responsible for one social event a year that relates to the quad's theme. Rooms are divided into "quads." Each quad houses four, six, or eight students, and has three bedrooms, a lounge, and one bathroom. Residents are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. Inspections are done doing various university breaks.

A typical floor has four quads, and a community lounge. Laundry rooms are located on the first, second, third, and fourth floors. Telephone and Cable TV is provided. Thomas More resident assistants work to create a sense of community on their floor and in the building.[61]

Commitment to Social Justice

As part of the Jesuit philosophy, Wheeling Jesuit University prides itself on its commitment to community involvement and social justice. The Service for Social Action Center (SSAC) coordinates such programs. Arrupe Scholars (named for Pedro Arrupe) receive additional financial aid for completing at least 66 hours of community service a year.[62] Students are also afforded the option of living at Mother Jones house, a house in downtown Wheeling for students especially motivated for community work. The school is also home to other clubs and organizations promoting this message.[63] In addition, the university also works to promote mine safety, and in the aftermath of the Sago Mine disaster sponsors a yearly Mine Safety symposium.[64]

Student Organizations and Publications

Greek life

While WJU is not currently home to fraternities or sororities, campus is slated to add Greek Life for the 2011–2012 school year. The move was made official by an 8–4 vote of the Greek Life Review committee in November 2009. The university will spend the upcoming school year finding organizations that it deems a good fit for WJU and its mission.[65]

Student Government

WJU's Student Government Association offices are located in Swint Hall. The Student Government Association is the elected voice of WJU students. The Wheeling Jesuit SGA consists of two branches: the Executive Board ("E-Board") and the Student Senate. The E-Board consists of a President and Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Student Advocate, Social Affairs Representative, Academic Affairs Representative, and Academic Affairs Representative.[66] The Student Senate is composed of at-large representatives, class officers, and a commuter representative.[67]

Organizations

Wheeling Jesuit University students are given an array of opportunities for campus involvement. Student Government and the Campus Activities Board plan activities each year, in addition to those already put on by clubs. While many of the clubs are service-oriented in nature, there are also political, artistic, and major-related organizations.[68]

Media

Campus Traditions

Last Blast

Last Blast" is held at the end of every school year. The events include a concert, a formal dance, a carnival held outside of Donahue Hall, and a raft race down Wheeling Creek.[69]
