Nebraska Wesleyan University’s campus is defined by its iconic arches, Old Main, and other housing and academic buildings that have been staples of the NWU experience for decades.

Connections for a Lifetime

Denny and Margaret McClatchey
Published

Nebraska Wesleyan gave Dennis “Denny” and Margaret “Cricket” McClatchey connections they’ve kept throughout their lives. Denny and Margaret did not arrive expecting to find each otherlet alone any of the other relationships they hold close to their hearts. Nevertheless, their lifelong relationships with fraternity brothers, sorority sisters and Professors David Clark and Henry Blanke shaped their lives. Denny and Margaret want the ripple effects to continue, so they are laying the groundwork now for the legacy of their beloved NWU professors to live on even after Denny and Margaret are gone. Funded through a charitable gift annuity, the David Clark and Henry Blanke Endowed Scholarship will support future generations of NWU students.

A Passion for Language

Language connects us. In the United States, Spanish is the second most spoken language after English. When I came to Nebraska Wesleyan University, I did not plan to learn another language.
