CIVIC MISSION 

“We inspire our students to be citizens of character who demonstrate professional and civic leadership.” 
-- President James T. Harris  

Education at Widener is as much about building a healthy civic culture as it is about developing individuals to their fullest. We promote service to society and civic engagement by:

• Developing academic programsand courses that address societal issues.
• Seeking  partnerships to improve Chester’s economic and educational climate.
• Encouraging volunteer activities.

By such actions, Widener University, Chester, and the surrounding metropolitan community can pursue the common good.
