"Brian" Jalijali '09, looks over a Wesleyan campus map with Brian's aunt
Melodia Pritchett and uncle Clark Pritchett. Sonny Jalijali brought
Brian to campus from Manila, Philippines. The Pritchett's live in Waterford,
Conn. and say they will 'adopt' Brian during the school year. "Everyone
is so organized and they've made us feel right at home," Sonny Jalijali
says. "They've made me want to enroll here." (Photos by Olivia
