About Wernli Hall

Wernli Hall was an eclectic dormitory residence at the former Westmar College.  (See the Unofficial Westmar College Web site.)  Residents of Wernli Hall were involved:  student government, student media, philosophical and bible studies, protest leaders of sit-ins and writers of strong letters-to-the-editor, and of course, brave enough to openly ignore campus housing policies.  As a closed-knit coed dormitory, “sisters” and “brothers” protected each other from personal problems.  I was called the “heart and soul” of Wernli Hall by the college staff during Wernli Hall’s last year as a residence hall before being closed up for good.  I wear this moniker  with honor.  Thank you Wernli for all that you gave to the many students who walked your way.
