    Pulse Check: An Unexpected Support System During the Most Formative Years of Your Life

    In this Pulse Check episode of The Williams Pulse, host Taylor Jeffery sits down with Dean of Students Laquietta Stewart to talk about what makes Williams Baptist University feel less like an institution and more like a community that truly walks with you. Through stories from her 27 years in education and her own experience as a first-generation college student, Dean Stewart shares how WBU surrounds students with people who listen, challenge, and care in ways many never expected but deeply need. Together, Taylor and Dean Stewart unpack how roles across campus — from Student Affairs to counseling to residence life and beyond — work together to support the whole student. They talk about identity, academic struggle, major changes, pressure, grace, and why it is completely normal to still be figuring out who you want to be. Along the way, Dean Stewart reflects on why she came back to WBU, why “this place is special… it’s like no other,” and what she hopes every student remembers long after they graduate: that they went to a college that really cared about them and wanted the best for them.

    Take Flight: Deion Wesson and Playing for Something Bigger

    On this episode of Take Flight, we sit down with Williams men’s basketball guard Deion Wesson, a student-athlete whose impact at Williams Baptist University reaches far beyond the court. Known for his confidence, tempo, and ability to deliver in big moments, Deion has emerged as one of the AMC’s most productive players this season. But what stands out just as clearly is the way he has embraced campus life — building relationships, engaging with younger fans, investing in his teammates, and growing as a student and leader. Deion shares his journey from Jonesboro High School championships, through prep school and JUCO adversity, to finding renewed purpose at Williams. He reflects on what it means to compete with joy, to represent the university well, and to anchor his life and game in faith. This conversation offers an honest look at development — not just as a scorer or defender, but as a young man learning how to play, lead, and live for something bigger.   🎧 Hosted by Mitch Mathis as part of The Williams Pulse Podcast Network.   Recommend a guest: https://williamsbu.edu/thewilliamspulse/#form   A few key stats...  27 PPG (Conference Leader) AMC Leader in Steals Multiple Player of the Week Honors 36 points & game-winning layup vs. CBC Jonesboro HS State MVP | 3× State Champion
