A word from Orsay
Designed by partner Jean Denoyer, Orsay strikes that difficult balance of sophisticated-chic in a warm convivial atmosphere. Dark mahogany raised paneled walls meet Art Nouveau styled arches in a deep, creamy butter color. The floor is a work of art, Italian mosaic tiles in warm tones of precious metals hand laid in a beautiful fan pattern that floats in waves across the expanse of floor. Banquettes with high wood backs topped with frosted glass panels provide privacy if wanted, and the low, soft lighting emanates from Art Nouveau period chandeliers that Denoyer had custom designed. A 20-foot long zinc-topped wood bar shipped in one piece from France, and French doors that spill onto the sidewalk terrace, completing the feeling that you are in the 9th arrondisement in Paris. This sophisticated and elegant Parisian-style brasserie marries modern French cuisine and classic brasserie fare. Orsay's award-winning wine list includes all 300 predominantly French and American varietals.Continued

- CathyVIPDined on 8/28/2014Wonderful cheese soufflé and lobster ravioli! We will be back for both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always enjoyableAndieDined on 8/22/2014Orsay is a neighborhood favorite of ours, in fact we met on a blind date there, and had our wedding lunch there. The management is welcoming and waiters congenial. Food has gone a bit downhill in the past few months. Maybe a new chef.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A French ExperienceLogisticianVIPDined on 8/22/2014At Orsay, you will be taken back to FRANCE. You will enjoy the food, wine, service, and décor what ever the time of day you arrive. Dining here is a MOST delightful experience.Special Features:
- FisheyefisheyeDined on 8/19/2014The dinner service was wonderful and the ambience is very nice. The scallop dish could be a little more generous that four scallops.Special Features:
- LovelyFoodmavenVIPDined on 8/16/2014We ate outdoors and it was lovely. The seating is on the avenue so it is fairly quiet a raised above the level of the side walk. The food is always good but they have raised their prices quite a bit... Very high for brasserie food!Special Features:
- Great dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/15/2014Had a lovely time for a birthday dinner. French classics were deliciousSpecial Features:
- Delightful French BistroZoeZDined on 8/15/2014We had booked for an early dinner, but got there even earlier than expected, and decided to sit at the bar for a drink beforehand. The Bar is a real beauty - made of nickel forged in France - and according to the Bar tender - just one of two such bars in NY). The whole restaurant has a totally authentic french bistro decor, and a charming ambience. We actually ate outside, and it was a really lovely sidewalk patio with flowers, and a great ambience of its own. It was restaurant week, and two of us ate off the restaurant week pre fix menu, and the other ordered al a carte from the main menu. The food was delicious, and we would definitely eat here again.Special Features:
- Sweet on the streetPSPSVIPDined on 8/14/2014Though the food is good and the service adult...a warm afternoon or evening is the only time to go. While the tin ceiling and hardwood are reminiscent of Paris, the noise could only be NYC. The din is distracting from the atmosphere, in the extreme. Diners shout. Parisians keep their voices low. UPS woman clap their heels. Parisian woman glide. And so on. So eat on the terrace/porch, away from computer station, and enjoy yourself.Special Features:
- Great Service and Perfect CuisineOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/13/2014The welcome we received as we entered the restaurant always sets the tone for the remainder of the evening. Orsay never fails to make its diners feel welcome. The Pinot Grigio was one of the best I've ever tasted. I always start with the escargot, which have never but perfect. This evening, I had the Hanger Steak with a peppercorn sauce & frites, which was perpared extacly to my request. This restaurant never fails to deliver a positive, pleasant experience every time I dine here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- migwarDined on 8/13/2014Being that this was the restaurant week menu, we didn't expect the most expensive items to be included in the selection. However, a selection with somewhat more variety (or the ability to substitute a less expensive item from the regular menu for the appetizer) would have improved our dining experience. It seemed that almost every item offered (especially for appetizer) had at least one ingredient that I either do not like or am not allowed to eat (for medical reasons.) Server was charming, and very good about answering all our questions. Some awkwardness when maitre d' repeatedly bent over to attend to elderly patron seated next to us. (Issue of his derriere "in my face.") Tables were too close together for him to be doing that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and servicePrincetonManDined on 8/8/2014As a group of four, we finished our visit to the Met early and decided to walk as it was a nice summer evening. When I called on the way to bump up the reseravation by an hour, the hostess was very accomodating - even remembered my name when we arrived. We sat at an outside table (no wait - we were lucky). The specialty cocktails were somewhat pricey and disappointing - better to go with a classic (martini or kir royale). Service was attentive. Excellent, house-made sourdough bread. I had roast duck from the 3 course pre-fixe - very well prepared. The pre-fixe menu was limited, so my wife had the broiled scallops served with an excellent risotto, which comes to the table in a covered copper pot.Special Features:
- Loved OrsayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/8/2014Dinner for two at Orsay on Friday night was wonderful. Despite the Restaurant Week menu, I opted for a sole special that was well worth the price. Best I have ever tasted. Bottle of wine was reasonable and acceptable. Profiteroles were terrific. Will definitely return to Orsay.Special Features:
- VinceVIPDined on 8/7/2014I was recommended by a friend. The French food was delicious as was the service. I would highly recommend and will be back again.Special Features:
- Not one I would go back toDavidDined on 8/7/2014We arrived and all looked perfect. Beautiful night, great table outside, nice view. Thats where it ended. We went here because it was restaurant week and we figured, why not try something new. The menu that was posted on "Open Table" was not the current one. The waiter told us it had changed 3 weeks ago and he guesses it wasn't changed yet. The meals we wanted were no longer available so we looked hard to find substitutes. Found something we really didn't want but said were here so make the best of it. The Onion soup was just ok. The food was bland and the Apple Kobbler was awful. The wait staff was excellent, the atmosphere was wonderful but the food was second class at best. I would not go back but I am glad I tried it anyway.Special Features:
- Good place to goPasCatDined on 8/7/2014A good french restaurant, good food and service. You can eat outside if the weather is clear enough.Special Features:

The salmon was cold and come with a very refreshing sauce and cucumber salad:) Duck leg comfit was tender and tasty. dessert was good, we order apple tart and chocolate mooseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bistro-niceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/3/2014Lovely bistro setting, food was ok a little disappointed with the overall presentation of duck breast came with turnips....thats all....the restaurant week menu may be the cause for that. Service was impeccable and when we had the duck cooked a little more (it was rare....really rare) they served us a top up glass each (4) of our selected wine,,,,nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Touch of Paris in ManhattanBirthdayGirlDined on 8/1/2014It is a little bit of Paris on the Upper East Side. The ambiance takes you immediately to a brasserie in Paris. The service is attentive, and the tables generously set apart so you can actually have a conversation with your dinner companion! The menu is not extensive, but the food is consistently excellent. It's a great place for dinner alone as well, when you want to treat yourself to a nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but could be betterduckdougDined on 8/1/2014Service was good but food was on the salty side. Need to lighten up to bring out the freshness of the food.Special Features:

- Restaurant Week pleasure8huitresDined on 7/30/2014We tried different offerings on the Restaurant Week menu and all were quite delicious. Outside seating is less noisy - the beautiful tiled interior is not sound-absorbant. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excelentemarDined on 7/30/2014Nice elegant place. We left the dog outside, the captain and the hostess helped us kindly to find a nice table next to him and gave him water. Attentive service. Food not outstanding but good quality, generous portion for restaurant week. Thank you.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old world charmChewyDined on 7/29/2014Management was very accommodating, the food and it's presentation was great and everyone was very happy. The waiter, however, was a bit rushed and spilled water in my nephews' lap.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful diningdonnasfVIPDined on 7/25/2014Orsay never fails to please. Service is impeccable, particularly at the front desk. Steaks and pomme frites are top notch. Highly recommend.Special Features:

- Very pleasant lunchGinaVIPDined on 7/22/2014The maitre d was very friendly, however wait staff lacked warm feel, and was rather abrupt. The food was very good, and prix-fix restaurant week was even better! The chocolate mousse was the best addition to an overall pleasant lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- susantDined on 7/22/2014I had already had lunch at Orsay several times. On this occasion, I invited a friend to lunch so that we could celebrate her special birthday. Everything was just perfect. Merci mille fois!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really FrenchkazmVIPDined on 7/21/2014Wonderful neighborhood longtime stalwart. Will not disappoint. Friendly staff with respectable affordable wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GraciousNYCUESDined on 7/20/2014Service, ambience and portions were all gracious. I don't use the term generous for portions, makes you think of a Red Lobster. The food here was to perfection, portions were enough to leave you satisfied. Classic French cuisine. Service was attentive. Seating was a little of everything. You could be directly outdoors, by the large open doors or completely indoors. Atmosphere lively while still being able to hold a conversation across the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful but a little loudOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/17/2014This was my second time dining at Orsay. The food was spectacular but the unfortunate part was the road construction right next to our table. Once that's complete, it will be wonderful. Definitely a great restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TravelerVIPDined on 7/10/2014Perfect lunch. Delicious, convenient, and excellent service. Well done...Special Features:
- Popular French restaurant on UESkellyVIPDined on 7/9/2014It's our first time dining there. The waitress was attentive and at first, it was quiet enough to have a conversation until after 7:30pm, it became too loud to hear each other. So, we decided to have coffee and dessert elsewhere. The food was well prepared. Tables were a tad close to each other. Very popular place!Special Features:
- So DisappointingMiloDined on 7/8/2014I have been here many times before, and while I have never thought the food was brilliant, the ambiance and the service brought me back. However, my most recent visit will definitely be the last. The food was mediocre, and our waiter kept forgetting to come back after we ordered! We gave up on the cookie plate with coffee because it never arrived after two requests! It is very obvious that the restaurant prefers to cater to the "in-crowd" and not to regular people who just want a good meal that is worth the very high prices.
- Neighborhood Go TolynstarDined on 7/6/2014Especially in the warmer months when all of the doors are opened, if you squint--can pretend you are in Paris leisurely dining with friends. The warm welcome at the door along with consistent bistro food and competent service can always be depended upon for brunch, lunch or dinner. Your brunch omelette will be fluffy, your lunch salad nicoise perfectly seasoned and your dinner steak au poivre or a juicy half chicken will all be enhanced with a well priced bottle of wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HungryladyHungryladyVIPDined on 7/4/2014We've eaten here several times and the food has always been excellent. The menu is not too extensive, but certainly varied enough that anyone can find something to their liking. The escargot were fabulous and the giunea hen for two was delicious. We will definitely return.Special Features:
- Great for sophisticated kidsMollyAirVIPDined on 7/1/2014A family favorite in the neighborhood, with menu sophisticated enough for the grandparents and a great selection for kids. Perfect for a family dinner with accommodating if somewhat haphazard service. Heats up later in the evening with more action in the bar and couples/dinner parties.Special Features:
- Lovely LunchDbf22VIPDined on 7/1/2014Met a client and our meal was wonderful and the service was very good. Only the two gentlemen in charge went to their repeat customers and chatted up a storm. We didn't rate I guess.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

"Here's my impression of a guinea pig."
While combing through hundreds of photos of tennis pros, looking for great examples of stroke production, I've noticed that the pros can look pretty funny sometimes and that the photographers seem to have an eye for tennis humor as well as for grace and power. I've added invented quotations that reflect how each photo struck me as funny. Some of them have to be seen in sequence for the humor to make sense, so I recommend viewing the photos and quotations in the order they're presented.

The Punta Gorda City Council agreed Wednesday to keep paying $100,000 a year to fund two school resource officers.
In an effort to save money, city staff recommended turning the positions over to the sheriff's office.
But the council decided the city should police the schools within its limits and says there's no monetary value on the work the school resource officers do.
The police chief says the relationships officers build with students at Charlotte High School and Punta Gorda Middle School carry over to the streets, and help reduced crime in the city.
"We understand the importance of meeting budget obligations, but certainly it's rewarding to see the council and school board and our community members value our program that we've worked hard to build," said police chief Butch Arenal.
City staff will continue to look at other areas to make cuts to meet an anticipated budget gap next fiscal year.

Diner Reviews
Food and service were excellent.
As advertised best steak in Grand Rapids."
Dined on 8/22/2014
ive dined here before, all great
experiences. this night, they didnt have my top 2 picks of wine on the menu in house. dinner took over an hour to get to us. they got my steak order wrong. then the bill was wrong...way wrong. they charged me for the more expensive steak that i never received and a bottle of Caymus we not only never drank, but they didnt even have in stock. on a good note, the steaks were fabulous as usual. other than Ruths Chris, i think they have the best tasting steak in town. they also gave us a big, but deserved discount, on the meal. so will i dine there again? absolutely. the steaks are really that good and this restaurant definitely deserves a second chance."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Curious to try this for a special
pre-concert dinner, it turns that we won't have a reason to return. The minute you walk in, its very dark - walls, tablecloths, lighting, and no real decor to speak of. We were delighted to find crab & lobster cakes for an appetizer to begin our adventure as we try these frequently. Theirs are not 'lump' style, but shredded, compact, dry, and served with a sauce that was too sweet and 'corn syrupy'. I could not 'fork' bites because the underside was 'blackened, but not on purpose, I suspect. The entire bottom was a burned, adhering plate. The entrees were better, but perhaps, seafood at a steak house was our mistake. The sea bass was burned, like the cakes, but the salmon flavorful, though 'oily'."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Food was good but not the best
steak I've had. Restaurant was absolutely dead. We were there for two hours and only saw two other tables. Service was rushed although I'm not quite sure why due to the lack of volume. Next time I want to drop 150.00 on dinner I'll go back to Leo's or Cygnus. "
Dined on 5/15/2014
This was really bad!!!!! Only
three tables were occupied in the whole restaurant. THIS WAS FOR A REASON!!! IT WAS REALLY POOR and I would not recommend this place. It is very very expensive and poor food and poor service. The menu was not correct - they had 4 items in the "House Specialty" area and our server said that they did not have 3 of the items. Apparently they were changing menus - Oh come on!!! then why give those to us. Service was very bad. It took a while to order our drinks and even longer to get them. After taking our drink order, the server came back and asked for appetizer and salad orders - she did not bring our drinks. We had to ask Delmonico steak was full of fat and poorly cooked "
Dined on 5/14/2014
Food was excellent! Our server was
pleasant but not as attentive as we would have liked. Food service was way too slow. "

It's my wife's birthday so I
reserve a table for 6. I should've known the place was maybe not so great when we walked into an empty restaurant on a Saturday night. The room was nice. The staff was friendly. It started with my wife ordering a particular item and then told 15 minutes later they didn't have that item. She ordered another item, and when it came to the table it was wrong, and cold. Not to mention, the veggies were wrong, at which point they then told her they didn't have what she requested. Even though it was on the menu. My prime rib was cold and was soaked in salt. Couldn't eat it. The waiter took the two bad meals off, no manager spoke to us and they gave a free desert. Point is, dinner was ruined. Missed all the basics. "
Dined on 5/3/2014
We had a great Birthday
celebration for my husband. The food was amazing, it was a relaxed atmosphere and a couple of the staff even sang to him. Great night!"
Dined on 4/24/2014
My wife and I had an AWESOME
experience here. The food was outstanding! I had the balsamic olive burger that was delicious and had a ton of flavor. The wait staff was very welcoming and professional. Great atmosphere. We were even surprised by the management with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary. LBs really made me look good:)"
Dined on 4/23/2014
This was our first time going for
our Anniversary. I contacted them a week before we arrived to let them know. We were seated right next to the bar with no privacy. We received a bottle of champagne from Louis Benton dinging rewards and Ofcourse the rude waitress had to inform us that she never saw this and left for about 20 mins. This was the routine all night. Valet group was nice.."
Dined on 4/9/2014
Good was over priced. My New York
Strip was extremely fatty and tough. My girlfriend's lobster tail wasn't cooked fully. The spinach dip had way to much garlic and the waitress didn't know anything about her wine list. Wouldn't eat there again not would I recommend eating there to anyone. I receive a better New York Strip at Texas Road House and the steak there is almost half the price."
Dined on 3/21/2014
The prime rib was melt-in-my-mouth
wonderful. Dining partner's rib eye was well seasoned. We felt the Brussels sprouts were a little salty probably due to the bacon. But potatoes and asparagus were done right. Asparagus had just enough crunch. Dining experience would be repeated more often if not so pricey. So this is a special occasion place for me."
Dined on 3/20/2014
The restaurant is beautiful and we
had a great time. A couple things stand out that could be improved: The setting is beautiful but it is a bit dark leading from the hostess stand into the restaurant and really dark heading into the lounge. It was also really cold at our table. Our waiter Andrew was awesome. Very helpful and friendly. One thing that was kind of a letdown was the bread. I thought is was going to be something special but it was very dry and bland. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese. I loved the sauce and the pasta but there was such a small amount of lobster and the was too much salt on the dish. Also, my boyfriend's steak was fantastic but neither of us could eat the asparagus because it was so salty."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Very nice atmosphere. Food was
very good and service was very good also. The only thing we would have changed is to have the background music not quite so loud."

Atmosphere of the restaurant was
romantic and elegant. Great menu; all the classics but with a modern twist and lots of options for the non-steak diner. I appreciated the great wine list with exceptional choices for wine by the glass. All the staff from the valet to our waiter was friendly and knowledgable. Our waiter offered great tips about the menu. We had an excellent dining experience and will be back."

Nothing like friendly Valet
parking on a cold snowy night. Was greeted with a big smile as hostess checked our coats. Our server Samantha was spot on with some suggestions. Steak Bruschetta for starters, stuffed olives in the Martinis, A must have- Grilled Caesar salad . My wife loved the Lobster Mac and Cheese, I the mouth watering Osso Buco accompanied by delicious Brussels with Bacon. For desert, was pleasantly surprised when the pastry chef arrived with a huge slice of Carrot Cake. As we got ready to leave, our server offered to buy the first round in LB Lounge, which we politely agreed to, and followed her into the packed lounge for some great live Blues music and a nightcap. Super Time, Super Place, we will be back!!"

We ate here last weekend for my
dad's birthday celebration. Wow, what a place to go to to celebrate one's birthday. Truly amazing. We all had amazing drinks - whiskey reserve, beer, and LB's White Sangrias. The grilled caesar salad is refreshing and crisp. My dad and boyfriend each got a steak and they said they have never had a better steak in their LIFE! Our server, Andrew, was amazing. He consistently checked on us, made sure we were happy, escorted us to the restroom, and was very thoughtful and respectful of my gluten allergy. After dinner, we were trying to find somewhere to watch a basketball game and our server offered to buy our first round at LB's Lounge and got us seats right in front of a TV with the game on. Highly recommended!"

Mussels were bland, cold, and
served five that were dead previous to being cooked. Delmonico was ordered MR served raw and it was an end cut which should not be served in a "steakhouse". Asparagus was undercooked so much i snapped it. Potatoes tasted instant. Scallops were undercooked and colorless. Meaning they don't know how to sear a Scallops. Sauce was indescribable and flavorless Bread was a joke and served with disposable plastic ramekins of butter. Salad and cheesecake were good. Service was good. Every girl received a rose upon entering except my girlfriend."

Our server was incredible. My best
friend and I went there to celebrate our first Valentines day alone in many years. Our server laughed with us and we found that she loved the same show my best friend and I bonded over!! Unfortunately, I can not remember her name but she was definitely impressive!"

Pete our server was awesome. We
were there for Valentine dinner with friends. All of our dinners were not the quality that we expected. We asked for the manager and she was awesome. Jackie comped our meals and we were not looking for that. She wanted us to come back and give them another try. I was impressed and all four of us will be back. Being an owner of a business I know that you can not deliver perfection every time. I want to thank Pete for his service at our table and Jackie for doing an outstanding job handling the situation. We will see you both soon. Thank you both for a great experience."

I took my wife here the day before
V-day because so we wouldn't have to fight the crowds/traffic. From the moment we arrived, the service was great. Valet jumped off the curb to let my wife out of the car, they checked our coats, and we were at our table in less than 2 minutes. We got the steak bruschetta appetizer, which was delicious, and salads. Drinks were tasty, not watered down, and our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was dark and quiet, which we like, and we didn't have to wait long for our entrees. I had the prime rib, which was the best I've had in my life. My wife got the salmon, and she loved as well. No complaints at all. Fantastic night out!"

The ingredients are
there....execution was not up to expectations. Took my wife out for late evening anniversary dinner. Service was very good, the building was well done, but the food was only average. My wife found the lobster tail to be over-seasoned with what she perceived to be Lawry's seasoned salt. I found my ribeye to be average tasting at best with the mashed potatoes overheated presumably by microwave. However, the carrotcake was great! I dont mind spending the money as long as I get what I pay for...so either lower prices or make the food exceptional. It was also very loud due to a party in the main dining room that they sat us right next to. Final tally for 2 (with only two beers) was $158."

This is the second time I have
been to this restaurant. The food was excellent, but I was disappointed by the service. It was NYE and the service was not what we had experienced before. Once we sat down at our table, we had to wait about 10 minutes for someone tocoe over. We felt very rushed through dinner, and our appetizer came out after our soup. They claimed they were fully booked for the evening, but at no point were all of the tables full. We actually counted 11 empty tables at one point. Lackluster service aside, the food was great. I feel like they werent properly prepared for the NYE crowd. I would go back, but not on a special holiday. When we had previously gone on a random weekend, our server was awesome."

My wife and I went here for dinner

We were welcomed and seated a few
minutes before our reservation. Service was fantastic to the point of too many people offering the same things. The restaurant had the atmosphere for a special night. The steak hubby ordered was no longer offered but still on the menu. A more expensive steak was recommended but not discounted. I ordered salmon and was told of the evenings special afterwards, mind you we spent quite a while looking over the menu before making our choices. All three meals were good, but nothing was as great as the prices, this dinner was a gift to us, so we were not worried about the prices, just thought the food should be spectacular!"
Dined on 12/7/2013
Seems that Louis Benton's
Steakhouse is more interested in being LB's Lounge than it is being a traditional steakhouse. We dined here two consecutive nights and both evenings showed no consistency with the experience. This establishment would benefit greatly with a class in customer service. Food quality was ok, not what one would expect from an upper end steakhouse, atmosphere is lacking intimacy and service is totally lacking. We will not return."

We dined on Saturday evening with

My husband and I had two gift
cards that would expire at the end of December so we really needed to make reservations and use them. Friday night was a perfect time to go. With Friday night football still going on the restaurant was not too busy. We had a young server but she was fantastic and even got my husbands sense of humor. From the wine, the appetizer to the steak, everything was awesome. Didn't leave any room for dessert unfortunately. We have been there before for coporate parties etc., but never just a date night. We will go back on a special occaision."

What Do Wesleyan Alumni Do?
Generally speaking, Wesleyan alumni are like most other liberal arts graduates in that their broad and rigorous academic pursuits give them the foundation skills for just about any potential career field. Employers and graduate/professional schools alike value liberal arts graduates for their ability to speak well, write effectively, think quickly on their feet, and learn continuously. Wesleyan alumni possess all of these attributes along with heightened sensitivity around issues of diversity, multiculturalism, and fairness.
Wesleyan Undergraduate Alumni in General
Although Wesleyan alumni can do just about anything -- and they regularly do -- an examination of the University's alumni database of record illustrates patterns of schooling and employment that are not too different from graduates of other highly selective liberal arts institutions.
The Top 5 Occupation Choices Reported by Wesleyan BA Alumni* Click to view chart (PDF
(0-25 years after graduation; 12,638 alumni reporting)
- 17% Business
- 27% Education
- 9% Health Professions
- 6% Law
- 9% Arts & Entertainment
*In an analysis of current data on file in Wesleyan's constituent database of record. This data is self-reported by Wesleyan alumni; it was not acquired through a census or other organized data collection effort.
This chart illustrates the demographics of three class year groups (graduates from the last five years, those who graduated between 6-10 years ago, and those who graduated between 11-25 years ago) among 14 of the more common occupation groups of liberal arts graduates. Click here to view a list of Wesleyan's occupation code values grouped by the categories utilized in the above descriptions.
Graduate/Professional School Matriculation Data
Law School
Wesleyan graduates attain admission to the most competitive law schools.
- For Law School entrance in the Fall of 2011, Wesleyan had 108 applicants of which 17 were seniors.Out of the 108, 96 were accepted by one or more law schools (92%)
- Schools attracting and admitting Wesleyan graduates are spread out across the country, and include Columbia (4), Duke (2), Georgetown (3), Harvard (3), Michigan (2), NYU (6), USC (2), Stanford (2), UVA (2) and Yale (3)
Medical School
The acceptance rate for Wesleyan graduates to medical school (based on AAMC and AACOM data) is significantly higher than the national average.
- Over the last five years (2007 - 2011 entering classes), acceptance rates at U.S. medical schools for all applicants with a Wesleyan BA has ranged from 65% to 81%.
- Wesleyan graduates with overall grade point averages of 3.5 or above have fared even better, with acceptance rates ranging from 80% to 89% over the same five-year period.
Because different colleges and universities use various methods to calculate their "percentages," please note that for our calculations we use the national databases from the Association of American Medical Colleges and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and count all applicants to medical school with a Wesleyan undergraduate degree who applied in any given year.
It is important to note that GPA is only one of the many factors taken into consideration by medical school admission committees. Leadership, clinical experience, laboratory and research experience, and breadth and depth of academic preparation are also very important. Wesleyan's liberal arts curriculum trains students in the kinds of thinking and skills necessary to becoming a successful health professional, including a thorough preparation in the natural sciences.
Business School; Arts & Sciences Graduate Programs
- Business schools and Arts & Science programs do not report acceptance rates
Class of 2012 Senior Plans ("First Destinations") Survey DataAt Commencement, 63.5% (449) of the senior class had shared their postgraduate plans with the Career Center.
- 47.5% (213) were employed full-time, part-time, for the summer, or participating in a post-graduate internship or fellowship upon graduation
- 12% (54) were accepted to and planning to attend graduate or professional school upon graduation
- 20% (89) were actively searching for post-graduate employment
- 13% (53) were undecided about their post-graduate plans
Class of 2012 Top Employer Industries
- 21.5% Arts & Entertainment
- 19% Education
- 18% Business
- 15% Health Professions
- 13% Non-Profit
- 9% Law

The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid is a tool that helps guide you toward eating a balanced, nutritious diet while achieving a healthy weight. The Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid illustrates the types and amounts of food you need to eat every day from each of the six represented food groups. The healthy weight pyramid also includes a physical activity component, which is an important part of weight loss and maintenance of weight loss.
This sample menu for a day follows the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid. The sample menu shows you how to fit in servings from each category in the healthy weight pyramid. You can adjust the menu to suit your own tastes and calorie needs.
* includes 75 calories from sweets
If you feel hungry while following the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid, reach for more fruits and vegetables to snack on. Just make sure your fruit is either fresh or canned in water or juice — and that you pour off the liquid before eating. Limit dried fruit and fruit juices to no more than one to two servings a day because they're high in calories and low in volume — they'll give you extra calories without filling you up. Also, remember that regular vegetable juice is high in sodium, so consider choosing a low-sodium variety.

I am in the process of trying to climb all the 14ers, in a more exciting way than the summer standard route joy hike to the top. I am hoping to knock out a couple over winter break, preferably on some ice routes. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions of good ice routes in the San Juans or Sangres that would be in right now. From what I hear, the San Juans have gotten a fair bit of snow in the last couple of snows, from a couple of trip reports I've seen, the Sangres or Southern San Juans might be a better choice.
I live directly across from the Blanca group and they have got a fair amount of snow. The north side is real hard to see, but it's been snowing for a while now and for sure will be iced up
For the most part, winter climbing on 14ers is more about finding routes that are safe from avalanche danger, which can be considerable - especially in the San Juans. Ice and steep snow climbing on high peaks is more often done in late spring/early summer when couloirs have stabilized and consolidated.
I agree with Andy but can anyone suggest cool routes for the spring? I want to climb not snow slog a coulior...
Speaking in reference to the Sangres, the 14ers arent conducive to many ice routes. There are some documented HERE and while there may be others, Ive heard of mostly snow climbs. There are other 14ers in the state that are more likely to have ice on or near them. Like Andrew and Clay said, avy danger in the winter is pretty significant in the winter, spring is definitely the time to climb ice there. Look at the dates of the FA on one of the routes in the link- June!.
I appreciate the responses. I have done a lot of winter snow slogs/skis on 14ers, and I am very avy aware/prepared. I was hoping to find some ice routes, for a change of pace. I was hoping the lack if snow this winter would prolong the avy safe season, but that's starting to come to an end.
How about the Crestone group ?
You might get more ideas from www.14ers.com, but some that come to mind are: 1) Alexanders Chimney (generally a fall climb, but not really a summit route unless you combine it with Keiners, etc.) and the Notch Couloir (spring, accessed by Keiners) on Longs Peak. 2) Snake Couloir on Sneffels (spring) 3) North Central Couloir on Sneffels (fall?) 4) Have heard rumors of ice routes on Antero (Sword of Damocles) and Pyramid (near the NW Ridge) but have only read cryptic comments about those. Good luck, -Tom
Not a "true" climb to the summit of Pikes but Total Abandation and Blind Ambition are both ice/mixed routes

IM AustriaThanks for posting our pick CFE team. Wanted to thank you guys again for this wonderful training resource.
Kristin and I trained strictly CFE for our first Ironman. We are both in the military and didn't have the time to train long hours per week. We are proof that you can complete an Ironman (in the heat, with a smile on your face, and injury free) on 6-8 hours of intense training per week.
We also attended multiple CFE seminars (run and bike) leading up to the race. These improved our technique/efficiency and taught us some helpful mobility exercises. The last thing we focused on was our nutrition with a zone/paleo combo that worked well for us.
We trained half as many hours per week as every else on the course, recovered amazingly, feel/look better than we ever have, and completed a life goal in the process. When I tell friends about our training program they initially can't believe the low hours per week, but then soon ask "exactly what is that program you were using again?" CFE - it works!
Also doesn't hurt to have my beautiful wife as a training partner and #1 supporter.
Thanks to the entire CFE team - keep up the good work.

Lactate ShuttleThe term lactate shuttle refers to a process in which you push your body to lactate threshold (basically the point in which you breathing becomes extremely labored) and then you allow time to recover (allow your body to remove lactate from the blood). Lactate is the bi-product of anaerobic exercise and is the cause of that "deep burn" you get in your legs when your on your 50th set of air squats.

Three Sport SwimFirst off, Congratulations to Chris and Kristen on your awesome Ironman finish!
7/12: Still on vacation. Still no Bike Access. I did the three sport Swim WOD, but had to use a small hotel pool while dodging kids and families in the water. Unknown and unknowable right... I kept the fastest pace I could given conditions. 12:00 Warm Up, 5:00 On, 2:30 Off, 6:00 On, 3:00 Off, 7:00 On, 4:00 Cool Down.
In the morning, I did the S&C WOD at Crossfit Inception. 25 KB swings @55, 25 Pull Ups, 25 KB Swings @55, 25 Broad Jumps, 25 KB Swings @55, 25 Burpees, 25 KB Swings @55, 25 Wall Walks. Time was 19:38. Wall Walks Suck.
7/13: Crossfit Inception programmed the 2012 Master's Chipper WOD for today. 10 deadlift @275, 20 pullups, 30 box jumps @24″, 40 kb swings @55, 50 double unders, 40 kb swings @55, 30 box jumps @24″, 20 pull ups, 10 deadlift @275. 20:28 RX. Last set of deadlifts were rough.
Crossfit Games: I think it is incredible that they included a Triathlon and an obstacle course as part of the games this year. I think it is a great nod to the numerous endurance athletes who train with Crossfit Endurance as well as the numerous military/law enforcement athletes for whom the obstacle course is a necessity. Awesome programming IMHO!

7/13/13 WODDid the Swim Time Trial today because I'm riding tomorrow and running Sat. 21:49 min for the 1000m which is pretty good for me. No S&C today.
Today I was diagnosed with Exercise Induced Asthma. So now I kinda have an answer why my training/racing has been bad the past season and a half. Do any of you have this? And if so, when do you take your puffs, do you feel the difference right away, and has your asthma subsided at all. Any info. will be great thanks.

Late ReportSWOD: 12 x 2 @ 205# - Good dynamic effort.
WOD: 16:50 (As Prescribed - Rest Times Included) - B/c the pullup bar is so close to the wall, I am unable to do any kip and have to bring myself to a complete stop on each rep - very time consuming and each rep was a dead hang effort. I could easily shave off 1.5-2 minutes if able to do them unbroken.
Splits: 2:12 / 2:15 / 2:25 / 2:57 / 3:04

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Police are trying to figure out who organized an underage alcohol party in a vacant house.
Neighbors called police to the home in the 2800 block of Chicago Street. There was loud music, alcohol and a lot of teens who apparently didn't know the house they were partying in is for sale.
"We came here because we were informed on Facebook that it was going to be a massive party, so we just came out here and wanted to have a good time. Next thing you know, cops are coming in, everybody's running, breaking glass, breaking everything, females got run over," 18-year-old Mark Fernandez said.
The teens were held until their parents came to pick them up. Police say alcohol was spilled in the house, but no damage was done.

Fourth-year nursing student Allison Doe says her international experiences traveling and studying abroad helped crystallize her decision to set her sights as a nurse on improving public healthcare for the poor on a global basis. The Spanish-speaking Bowdoinham, Maine, native worked just after high school with impoverished children in a local hospital in Ecuador. As a sophomore in the UMaine School of Nursing, she worked with Chilean children and the Chilean Red Cross. Last summer, she worked with migrant blueberry rakers in Downeast Maine. The experiences gave her a richer appreciation of the urgency for better public health policy in poor communities everywhere, she says. An educated society with access to resources can improve nutrition, implement preventative medicine, create skilled healthcare professionals and manage its environment, among other factors that affect health, Doe says.
Where did you grow up?
Bowdoinham, Maine.
Where do you live now?
I split my time between Orono, for classes, and Portland, for my senior practicum at Maine Medical Center.
What years were you at UMaine?
September 2008 through May 2012.
What degree(s) will you receive from UMaine?
B.S. in Nursing with a minor in Spanish
What led you to choose UMaine?
I applied to UMaine as a high school senior, undecided in my career path. UMaine not only had an extensive array of studies to select from, but they allowed me to defer for a year to study in Ecuador. In 2008, I returned to enter the nursing program.
What, if any, research initiatives have you been involved in while at UMaine?
In 2009 while studying abroad in Chile, I became involved with the Chilean Red Cross at a time when it was re-designing its approach to health education. It implemented a research project investigating various methods of promoting information on communicable diseases to the immigrant and homeless population of Santiago. My contribution to the project was to conduct interviews with immigrants and homeless adults who attended the weekly Red Cross health clinic. After the interviews, I worked with a health team to analyze the data.
This year in the course "Community and Public Health Nursing," five classmates and I assessed the emergency preparedness of the Mount Desert Island community. To gauge the community's knowledge of appropriate actions during a medical emergency, we distributed surveys, conducted anecdotal interviews and contacted community services. We also questioned residents about hypothetical reactions to medical symptoms, confidence in 9-1-1 services, and their distance from the ambulance service. Now that we've identified deficits based on the results of the study, our group is proposing a plan to address these issues on a community level.
How have your studies at UMaine prepared you for your future career?
Small classroom environments at UMaine have offered me an atmosphere in which I have been able to develop supportive relationships with faculty, and study abroad opportunities have fostered my personal growth. Through my involvement in student organizations, I have had opportunities to work on new projects and in leadership positions. As the current president of the Orono Student Nurses' Association, I have had the chance to collaborate with an incredible group of people to implement community outreach projects. These opportunities have equipped me with a skill set that will be invaluable to me in future endeavors.
Where have you traveled and what sort of work did you do?
Quito, Ecuador
The year before entering college, I traveled independently to Quito, Ecuador. During the nine-month visit, I took classes at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito and volunteered at the Hospital Baca Ortiz, the largest public children's hospital in the region. The hospital serves impoverished families from Ecuador and parts of Colombia and Peru, and it is chronically undersupplied and understaffed.
My work at the hospital varied, and progressed with my proficiency in Spanish. I originally began by distributing food and medical supplies in the mornings, and eventually stayed all hours caring for orphaned infants, providing patient comfort, assisting with social work, organizing donations, or whatever else was needed.
It is difficult for me to summarize this experience. It impacted me profoundly on many levels, ultimately aiding in the development of my life goals, views and career choice.
Santiago, Chile
Through the University of Maine's Study Abroad program, I had the opportunity to study abroad in Chile as a sophomore. I took nursing classes at the Universidad de Chile, taught English to a wonderful group of children and teens awaiting project housing in Santiago, and became involved with the Chilean Red Cross research initiative.
Working as an AmeriCorps member with the Maine Migrant Health Program, I had the opportunity in 2011 to work within my home state. The position consisted of visiting farms to present pesticide safety and health topics to agricultural workers. I spent one month in Downeast Maine, assisting in a Mobile Medical Unit and organizing the annual food pantry that Maine Migrant Health offers for the blueberry rakers. I am grateful to have been able to work with such an incredible organization here in Maine.
I am excited that this February I will be traveling with a group of nursing students, a faculty adviser, and recent RN graduate to Belize to do medical outreach through International Service Learning. We will be involved in community health assessments and health care support in underprivileged villages and Belize City. Our group is currently attempting to collaborate with Partners for World Health to organize a donation of recycled medical supplies from Maine hospitals. It has been a long fundraising process, and we cannot be more appreciative to those who have helped us.
What has been most rewarding, inspiring?
Although each experience has provided a new lesson, my time spent at Hospital Baca Ortiz was the most rewarding.
Within the peeling walls of the hospital were some of the most kind-hearted people I have had the fortune to meet. Despite all of the things going against them, families took care of each other. Mothers shared their beds, chairs, or floor space with fellow mothers, young children gave their only toys to strangers, and fathers handed their one meal to the person waiting next to them in line. A strong sense of hope and unity persisted in even the most desperate of situations.
The children themselves represented the ideals of humanity. Their perpetual optimism, courage, willingness to give, and hope, even on their deathbed, was an inspiration to all who interacted with them. My favorite moments were bringing them to the playroom, which had been elaborately painted with birds and forest scenes. This was a place where children could almost forget that they were ill, and play like normal children.
Despite the perseverance of children and families, the reality of the situation still exists. To this day, I sometimes feel a residual guilt when I reflect upon the hospital. One memory that I will have forever: A mother approached me clutching an X-ray, lines of tears dried to her face, confessing that she spent her last $74 on a medication that could potentially save her comatose daughter, but that that her daughter would die because she could not afford another dose, her other children were going hungry, she lost her job for spending too much time at the hospital, and her husband was dying of cancer. It deeply saddens me that all I could do for her was to buy groceries that only lasted a week.
It was this moment, along with many others, that led to my decision to study nursing. Even though many experiences in the hospital were heartbreaking, they gave me perspective and purpose. Nurses have the chance to be there for those who need it most, to explain procedures, to find opportunities and provide education. The need for health and human compassion transcends all languages and borders. I have promised myself that next time I encounter the memory of this mother in the form of another person, I will know what to do.
What do you envision as a career path after graduation?
My short-term goal is to work in a hospital setting to build on my foundation of nursing skills. Eventually I hope to travel as a nurse, and I look forward to discovering new cultures through healthcare. My interests lie in both critical care and in public health; I see no limits to pursuing both.
My long-term goal is to attend graduate school for a Doctor of Nursing Practice or for my Master of Public Health. I hope to return one day to Hospital Baca Ortiz as a nurse, to give something back to an institution that has influenced me so much.
You've expressed an interest in improving public health on a global scale. How do you think can accomplish that?
Global health is a complex issue. Health is intertwined and impossible to separate from culture, politics, infrastructure, economy, environment, resources, etc. Speaking from personal experience, I believe that education is the most important treasure one can have. An educated society with access to resources can improve nutrition, implement preventative medicine, create skilled health care professionals, and manage their environment, among many other factors that affect health.
I have come to the conclusion that my first step is to educate myself on these issues so that I can contribute appropriately and educate others. In my experience, people are eager to learn about health. For example, I have sent Spanish first aid books and medical texts to communities in Ecuador, and have received letters of overwhelming gratitude in return. Although their numbers are small, each person within these communities is a special individual who holds the potential to help another.
Do you have any favorite professors or classes, and what lessons did you take from them that resonate today?
I have had very positive experiences with faculty at UMaine. There are three professors who have been particularly helpful throughout my academic career.
Susan Wheaton, my pharmacology instructor and cardiac clinical preceptor, has been a mentor and a voice of reason. I cannot count the number of times that I have entered her office with an idea, concern, or in need of advice, and on each occasion she has offered her undivided attention to listen and offer guidance. She promotes integrity and leadership, consistently encouraging students to make ethical decisions, regardless of the circumstance.
Nilda Cravens, a community health nursing professor, has always made an extra effort to reach out to students. Before beginning a position with Maine Migrant Health, I emailed Professor Cravens for her expertise in trans-cultural nursing. During our meeting that followed, she presented me with an entire binder that she had prepared herself, filled with articles, facts, and other information regarding migrant farm workers, as well as a medical Spanish reference book to borrow for the summer. I will always remember the kindness she has shown me, and have heard similar sentiments from other students that she has helped.
Professor of Spanish Kathleen March introduced me to the importance of language. It was in her class that I first encountered sociolinguistics, a subject that will forever hold my attention. She inspired me to educate myself, to embrace my interests, and to think beyond. Through Professor March, I discovered many authors and forms of thought, which has led to my keeping a running book list of her recommendations.
Were there any classes you took that almost did you in? Is there a lesson to be learned from your experience?
Junior year of nursing school is famous among students for NUR 301, Medical/Surgical Nursing, which includes clinical experience, laboratory simulations and a lecture. This course broke every comfort barrier I had at the time. In retrospect, I have learned to more effectively handle stress and am more comfortable performing tasks with an audience. I am more comfortable in clinical scenarios with the skills I gained during this course.
Most memorable moment at UMaine?
Each year I enjoy attending the International Dance Festival. It is a rare event to see a compilation of many diverse and beautiful dances. The performance never fails to impress me.
Favorite places or spots on campus?
I spend as much time in the Oakes Room in the library as my apartment. While the café is my favorite study spot, I also enjoy stopping in to view the art exhibits in Lord Hall for peace of mind on a hectic day.

We waited for a bus to the San D. Pier, arriving at 3:30 pm, where we discovered that there was no longer any kind of food or beverage left. A staff member asctually told me " we didn't know how many people would be arriving." Don't they know how many bus transfers they had? Ridiculous. We waited an hour for a bus. As we boarded we were given a bottle of water and a package of crackers. We had had no lunch--others who had traveled a greater distancer than we, hadn't eaten all day.
The bus was held up at the border for over an hour, then several times during the 60 mile trip to Ensenada, forced to the shoulder by Mexican police and made to wait an additional time, up to an hour. What should have taken no more than an hour or so lasted 6 hours. We arrived at about 10 pm to get leftovers from the buffet, the first time we had eaten all day.
On board, we discovered that most of the other buses to ensenada had had simalr problems. Do NOT take a cruise with an itinerary starting in Ensenada. Yes, Celebrity was at the mercy of border officials and the Federales, but they need to change this itinerary: board in San Diego and then sail to Ensenada to satisfy the Jones Act requirement of a foreign port of call.
Century is a fine old ship, due for refurbishing but attractive and well-laid out; we enjoyed the serivce and food, but the start of this cruise put a damper on our first few days, as it did for everyone else we talked to aboard the ship. NEVER AGAIN
