Charlene Payne Kammerer '70, the first woman to be ordained Bishop of the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church:


"If someone like me, a child at risk with limited means, could come to a place like Wesleyan College and be treated like everyone else, and be given the privilege of a stellar liberal arts education, and have the audacity to think I could go on and become a minister and live a life I never could have dreamed possible, if this miracle could happen to me, it can happen to anybody. I hope and pray that each of you will follow your passion, no matter how impossible it may seem…dare something new and untried. And remember – we’re all expecting great things from you!"
