Joel Adams of Asheville is new Chair of WWC Board of Trustees

Joel B. Adams Jr., Asheville financial consultant and longtime member of the Board of Trustees of Warren Wilson, has assumed the position of board chair. He succeeds fellow Asheville resident Ron Hunt, who stepped down after serving as board chair since July 2007. Adams is beginning his second stint as board chair, having held the position from 2003-2007. He has still deeper ties to the College as the father of two Warren Wilson alumni: son Sam ‘04 and daughter Sadie ‘09. "It feels like coming home,” Adams said of his return as chair, “and I look forward to further participation in the College's future."

President Sandy Pfeiffer said he is excited about a second Adams term as board chair. “Joel previously provided excellent leadership,” President Sandy Pfeiffer said. “We look forward to his chairing the board again. Pfeiffer also praised the leadership of Hunt, who joined the Board of Trustees in 2002 and served as vice chair for two years before becoming chair in 2007. “Ron has been an outstanding board chair and forceful advocate of Warren Wilson College,” Pfeiffer said. “He has helped move the College forward in significant ways over the past several years.”

Stylish and Decadent Tragi-comedy on stage

Warren Wilson Theatre presents Women Beware Women by Thomas Middleton at Kittredge Theatre Thursday-Sunday, Feb. 17-20, at 8 p.m. Written almost 400 years ago and adapted by Jesse Berger, Women Beware Women strikes a modern chord. A revenge tragedy with a surprising amount of comedy, The New York Times has called it, “exuberant” and “cutthroat.” Director Graham Paul says, “Warren Wilson Theatre is committed to performing classic masterpieces (as well as risky contemporary theatre), committed to producing theatre that is both excellent and challenging, and committed to taking chances with provocative plays that are not frequently seen. Women Beware Women stands out in all three categories.” Tickets are free for all area students, $5 for seniors, alumni and staff and $10 general admission. Info: 828.771.3040 or vnichols@warren-wilson.edu.
