Get to Know Widener

Student Perspectives

“My semester abroad genuinely changed how I think. The biggest shift was getting comfortable being uncomfortable. New country, new university, new people, and figuring it out anyway. Back in the Netherlands now, and already applying what I learned."

Study Abroad Student, Windesheim University, Netherlands

Student Perspectives

“My semester abroad at Widener genuinely changed how I think. Joining the International Students Association and becoming an Honors Brother of Phi Delta Theta taught me more about leadership and building connections than any course could."

Student Perspectives

"As a student athlete you are a leader on your team and on campus. Teams represent unity and by taking part in something."

Student Perspectives

[On being named national triple jump champion] "My coaches played an important role because without them I don't have the training that's provided to me, and I don't have people critiquing things that need to be critiqued in my performance."

Class of 2027 | Electrical Engineering Major

Student Perspectives
