New Window for Prayer Chapel 

Westmont dedicated a new stained-glass window during an intimate service inside the Nancy Voskuyl Prayer Chapel on October 16. 

Nancy Voskuyl, a Westmont student and the daughter of President Roger and Trudy Voskuyl, died in a tragic automobile accident in 1959 on Sycamore Canyon Road. To honor her, the college built the Nancy Voskuyl Memorial Prayer Chapel in the heart of campus. More than 60 years later, the college decided to replace the dated original window and replace it with a series of images.

The Voskuyl family was not only understanding and supportive of the project, Jane Voskuyl Jackson (‘65), Nancy’s sister, and her husband, David, generously offered to create a new stained-glass window, “Station XV: Resurrection” by Scott Parsons.

At the dedication, Nancy read and reflected on a touching poem that had been sent to the family from a student following Nancy’s tragic death.

Golf Classic a Hole Lot of Fun 

Under sunny skies with temperatures in the 80s, about 30 foursomes of golfers drove toward victory with the goal of raising scholarship funds for Westmont students at Glen Annie Golf Club. The 14^th annual Westmont Golf Classic awarded top golfers and offered unique raffle prizes, including Scottie Scheffler-autographed golf flags. 

The foursome of Dr. Michael Behrman, Alex Nizet, and Mallory (‘26) and Matt Hopper finished with the lowest score of the scramble-format golf tournament. They purchased plenty of mulligans and 100 feet of string, which brings their ball closer to the hole, to ultimately finish 18 holes in just 38 strokes. 

Every golfer enjoyed a complimentary Chick-fil-A lunch at the course, followed by a fantastic tri-tip and chicken dinner to celebrate. The 14th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, known for many years as “Will’s Tourney,” began in 2008 to celebrate the memory of a special alum, Will Wiersma.
