Warren Wilson’s Auto Shop Crew has turned a hulking piece of junk into an electric vehicle that can serve the college for years to come. Using grant money from the N.C.

On May 18, the 2013 Commencement had to be moved to DeVries Gymnasium because of a persistent morning rain (the first time in more than two decades).

As always, the stars of the show were the nearly 200 bachelor’s degree recipients who had earned B.A. and B.S. degrees — the College’s 45th class as a four-year school.
