It is hard to believe that anything, any day can get better when the weather is impeccable, however, I heard our webmaster and assistant swim coach, Bob Rafferty, make a simple statement to a recruit one day: “Wittenberg only gets better beyond the weather”. Wittenberg is a beautiful campus year round and when the weather is delightful it elevates that beauty tenfold. It seems like, when Mother Nature is cooperating, that the weather is what makes this place incredible. But, as Bob so perfectly stated, this place only DOES get better beyond the weather. The students, the staff, the faculty, the class sizes, the 100+ student organizations, the athletics, the hollow, the friendly smiles - are all a part of what makes Wittenberg better beyond the weather.

There are places beyond Wittenberg that are lovely compliments to our campus as well such as Buck Creek, John Bryant State Park, Mad River and Glen Helen, to pen a quick list. Some of the team members went out to Glen Helen last Saturday to hike and hit Young’s Dairy afterwards for homemade ice cream. With, again, incredible weather on their side, it made for a memorable and delicious way to start their weekend off right! Combine a great place with wonderful teammates and a bit of scrumptious ice cream and one can truly see how Wittenberg DOES get better beyond the weather!
