photo by Matt Roth.Tuesday, September 18, 2012..Wilson College students Melanie Przybilski, top left, passes a slide to classmate Faith Ricker, while Przybilski's lab partner Casey Beidel, right, looks on during a lesson on cell structures in Dr. Laura Altfeld's Contemporary Biology class in the Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology..While the traditional students at Wilson are all female, Wilson College offers a co-ed adult education program which Beidel takes part in. The financial trajectory of the school is on shaky ground. The loan payments for Wilson College's $25 million Harry R. Brooks Complex for Science, Mathematics and Technology are deferred until 2016. Such a payment structure loosens up cash-flow presently for the financially strapped institution, but remains a looming hurdle for the future. The school's president Barbara Mistick is taking a transparent and proactive approach to making long term sustainable changes. At this point, all options are on the table, even the possibility of making Wilson co-ed. ..Wilson College President Barbara Mistick, created a commission to recommend ways of putting the tiny, all-female liberal arts college on a sustainable financial path. The Chambersburg, PA college nearly closed down in 1979 and is in danger of going under in the next few years if big changes aren't made. On the table are going co-ed, moving somewhere else, among other possibilities.
