As a professor, administrator, and public official, Belle Wheelan '72 has exhorted people to lead by example. She has followed that exhortation herself. While earning a dual B.A. in sociology and psychology, she became the first African American Trinity student to be named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. After holding several leadership positions at San Antonio College, she became the first African American woman to head an institution of higher learning in Virginia when she assumed the presidency of Central Virginia Community College. Her success in that post led Governor Mark Warner to make her his Secretary of Education in 2002. Named one of Washingtonian magazine's "100 Most Powerful Women in Washington," Wheelan is now the president of the Commission on Colleges of The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. |
