Getting You in Tune with Widener

Remember the lyrics to the Widener alma mater? If you can’t remember, that’s okay.
You’re not losing your memory. In fact, there are no lyrics to the Widener alma mater. 

John Vanore, director of music and recording technology at Widener, has written the music for an alma mater, and we are looking to you – Widener alumni – to write the lyrics. To listen to the music for the alma mater click on the links below.

If you have any questions about the music, please contact John Vanore and the e-mail address above, or call 610-499-4338.

If your lyrics are used for the alma mater, you will be honored at next year’s Homecoming and given credit whenever the lyrics are published. Who knows, maybe someday Widener students and alumni will be singing your song.
