"William Peace University fully embraces being an urban campus, so the idea of expanding our University-affiliated living was a natural progression to what it means to operate in our downtown setting," said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., president of William Peace University. "Our partnership with Wolf Creek Apartments allows us to provide living for students interested in pursuing this option, with convenient, safe transportation to and from our campus provided as well."

"As a graduating senior, I am proud to see that our school is growing and can provide opportunities such as new housing at Wolf Creek," said Jeanna Buck, president of William Peace University's 2012-2013 Student Government Association. "I am grateful to be a part of the Student Government Association that worked alongside university administration to make this expansion possible for our student body, marking one of many ongoing positive improvements to come to the WPU community."
