MACON, Ga. -- Chyla (Chy) Brown '20, a women's studies major from Macon, Georgia, helped lead the cross country team in one of its best seasons in recent history. She also helped rebuild Wesleyan's club volleyball program into what will become a varsity recognized sport in the fall. She also served as her senior class vice president, as a women's studies ambassador and tutor, and earned her way onto the USA South Athletic Conference All-Academic and All-Sportsmanship Teams. Chy says her greatest accomplishment at Wesleyan has been participating as a student athlete while taking a full course load and maintaining a job the entire time. She will graduate in May with a degree in women's studies and plans to pursue medical school and eventually become a gynecologist. 

Chy says she will recommend Wesleyan to future students because of the inclusion and diversity on campus and because Wesleyan provides multiple experiences to help students find their voices. Although Wesleyan is a college that is focused on academic success, she says, Wesleyan also stresses that extracurricular activities are important for self-care. Wesleyan teaches her students "how to have a fun college experience while getting good grades."
