My Time and Experience with Widener I joined the undergraduate admissions team at Widener University in September 2005, bringing with me five years of prior professional admissions experience. Having graduated from a small undergraduate institution, I recognize the benefits of being "a name, not a number." I strongly believe that Widener's personal approach to education is one where a student will thrive both in and out of the classroom. In my role as an admissions professional, I enjoy counseling prospective students through the college search process and helping them to determine if the Widener University will be a place where they can be a successful college student. |
