Mrs. Wanda Whitener (Young), Class of 1973, served as a healthcare administrator for several hospitals in upstate South Carolina during her career. Her life was impacted by a full scholarship offer made in person by Dr. Paul Wood and Mr. Sam Parker at her high school’s awards ceremony. She and her husband, Ken, met during their time at Southern Wesleyan. When asked why she gives back to SWU Wanda said, “All of my success in my life and career started with getting that college education and getting my degree. It opened doors for me. It opened doors for Ken. That was life changing for us and we can do it now for young people.” You can help us create life changing moments for students by partnering with us during this week of giving to help us raise $45,000 for student scholarships.
