STUDENT AFFAIRS

Student Affairs strives to assist students with their development as educated young adults, life long learners and engaged citizens.  Our philosophy is to assist students with cognitive, social and emotional development through our array of programs and services. 

Our departments provide experiences through programs and services with the intent and provisions to create student learning and development.  We aim to improve student's understanding, autonomy and social being to lead, participate and improve themselves and the communities they engage.

Our students are community members of the Widener Pride!  They are also members of the communities that make Widener University:

• Classes
• Residence hall floors
• Student organizations
• Athletic teams, and 
• Groups of friends 

Widener is also an institution committed to civic engagement and to being a part of the:

• Chester
• Greater Philadelphia
• Pennsylvania, and
• Global communities

Students derive lots of benefits from being a member of these communities — support, confidence, encouragement, and caring. 

Students involved in our communities and the communities we egnage also report greater satisfaction with their undergraduate experience. They achieve better grades, they graduate at higher rates, and they get hired into better jobs.  

Please visit our web pages to learn more about what we offer, how to get involved in our communities and how to contact us.
