PARLIAMENTA Gathering of Owls

2011 - 2012

Warren Wilson College

Parliament is created by a student crew. With the exception of senior photos and a few of the work crew photos, all photographs were taken by yearbook staff or their supervisor unless otherwise noted in a photo credit.

Photographers, Designers & Editors: Students - Jodie Brown, Emily DeTroy, Soliz Mayer, Samantha Jo Weekley, Meghan WaryoldStudent Leaders - Katie George & Alex GuytonSupervisor - Melissa Ray Davis ‘02

We wish to thank all of our contributors for their submissions. This book would not be as beautiful or comprehensive without the contributions of the community.

© 2011-2012 Parliament & Warren Wilson College. All rights reserved. All photos copyright their original photographers.

Front cover photo by Diana Sisson. Title page photo by Chris Rodriguez. The group of students who submitted the back cover photograph wish to remain anonymous. The owl footer art throughout the book was drawn by Morgan Davis ‘02. The material for the word clouds and other written features was compiled from student responses to our community survey.

Parliament is the collective noun for a gathering of owls. Owls do not usually flock, but they certainly do at Wilson.

Dedicated in loving memory of Hannah Joseph

“What a challenging journey. So many delightful lessons learned, some the hard way, some not so hard. The

WWC community has taught me what community really is, in good times and in hard times, like a truly good friend.”

Spring Candids and Events 91


Sage Block Party


“I don’t want to go anywhere else.” “It’s where I fit.” “I’m nature-y.” “Because I love squirrels, and I searched for a school this small, loving, and hardworking. I wanted to entwine home, work, and education. The Triad fit me well. I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. Passion is prevalent at Warren Wilson.” “I don’t fit in, just like everyone else.” “I never get bored.” “I love the mountains.” “Where else would I have actually gone to college?” “I am not a Wilson student, a Wilson student is me.” “What else could I be? This place calls me.” “To live in an open community in the mountains where I am not afraid to express myself.” “For the Triad.” “Because I care. (About people, places, the land, the future).” “These are my people!” “The same reason you are!” “Because I seek understanding.” “I love the community, the mountains, and sense of place.” “Because I love knowing I’m living the life I want.” “Wouldn’t have had it any other way. Wilson is home.” “Wilson is a judgment-free bubble of happiness and wonder.” “Why not?”

“To learn interactively.” “Because I’m not everyone...seriously! After attempting 4 other schools 30-some-odd years ago, I finally found one where I actually wanted to finish and get a degree!” “For love.” “Just because.” “Our community is awesome.” “The voices in my head told me I needed to go here, no lie.” “I don’t pay the bills.” “It’s a lifestyle.” “It was the only school I applied to.” “I’m excited about learning how to make my home a better place.” “I am unique.” “I love being free, living in a community and listening. I love experiencing college outside of the mainstream.” “Basketball and art.” “It has to do with Social Work and my dedication to helping people.” “Because I love living in a community of engaged, caring, contributing individuals who love hard work and mud as much as dancing and brewing beer.” “People here don’t care if I don’t shave my legs or under arms.” “I have no idea, but I’m glad that I am.”

“All of my friends were staying on or near campus for Spring break, and I was the only one going home. The night before I left, we all walked out to Riverbend, listened to music, laughed, and looked at the moon. It made me want to stay forever.”

I’ve learned how to be happy with all of who I am.” - Charity Rose Villines “It hasn’t.” “I learned that showering is indeed a daily necessity.” - Gina Gurreri “More ways than you can imagine.” “More radical, more liberal, more spiritual, more happy.” “It made me expand my thinking and be open to new and different experiences.” - Hannah McMerrian “I am now super aware of where my food comes from.” “I enjoy the environment more, and I have a different perspective on life.” “It made me more care-free and down to earth.” “I’m more confident and socially aware.” “It’s helped me realize I have more potential than I thought.

The biggest way so far is that it has shown me what it is like to live in the real world and has taught me to withstand any and all challenges I come across instead of going straight to my mom. I love you, Warren Wilson College! Thank you so much!!!!” - Carly Reynolds “Warren Wilson hasn’t changed me; I’ve changed Warren Wilson.”
