FAV WES EXPERIENCE:
One of my favorite Wes experiences has to be taking West African dance with a wonderful professor, who asked all of her students to call her Grandma.  At the end of the semester, we performed several dances we had learned with live music out on the Center for the Arts (CFA) lawn. It was so much fun and a unique part of my time at Wesleyan.
