Darren Cole `04 was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about his work as a rap videographer. Darren "DWoods" is now the personal video editor for rapper Rick Ross.
While at Wayland, Darren and a friend created a promotional DVD for the football team then sold it for a profit. He used the money earned from that project to purchase DJ equipment.

| Phone-a-thon 2012 - Thank You! |
|
 The annual Wayland Phone-a-thon was held February 6 - 9. Thirty-two students spent the four evenings making calls to alumni. They called to thank them and to ask them for their continued support of The Academy Fund.
The Academy Fund is Wayland's annual unrestricted giving program and it allows the Academy to continue to deliver the high quality of education that a student receives at Wayland.
From the students, staff and faculty at the Academy - Thank you to all who participated in this year's Phone-a-thon, either by making a gift or sharing a conversation with a student. |
