When alumnus Adam Brooks bought a pair of 1969 Florsheim dress shoes from the Moon Zooom thrift shop in Santa Cruz, California, a decade or so ago, he knew he was stepping into something special. What he didn’t realize is that it was the first step toward a ministry that would bless local men with $10,000 worth of quality shoes (and counting).

Wingate influence strong in life of incoming choral student

A talented soprano in the top 10 percent of her high school class, Joni Wagoner couldn’t be more thrilled about becoming part of Wingate’s Class of 2022. But without the classes of 2009 and 2012, she might not be a Bulldog.

New and returning Bulldogs headed to Wingate University for the fall semester will notice more than a few changes on campus to better serve the school’s growing student body.

Welcome, Class of 2022!

If you are headed this way, now’s the time to set a course toward Route 1896, the check-in process that is required before you can pick up your room keys.

It’s a paradox: The world is getting smaller, but the language learning gap in the U.S. is growing. To help tackle part of the problem, Melanie Keel, an assistant education professor at Wingate University, and rising senior Leanne Mansfield went to Ecuador this summer to see how children there learn English.

Even before enrolling at Wingate University, Hannah Teague knew that as a biology major with hopes of becoming a doctor she’d need some research experience on her medical-school application. What she didn’t expect is an opportunity that would take her to Idaho twice this year to rub shoulders with lead scientists from the United States Department of Agriculture.
