Alumni

Alumni are the heart of Widener/Pennsylvania Military College. Your achievements are an inspiration to our students and your loyalty is the foundation for all the university will achieve in the future.

A Message to Our Alumni in Response to COVID-19

We hope you and your loved ones are in good health during this unprecedented time in our country. All of us at Widener University send our best regards as our country faces the extraordinary COVID-19 public health crisis.

All on-campus/in-person alumni and donor events have been canceled or postponed and visiting campus is restricted until further notice. When possible, alumni events are now being offered virtually. The university will continue to evaluate and follow the advice of public health experts and will keep you informed via email and social media. Currently, Homecoming & Family Weekend is still planned for October 16-17, 2020.

Our Alumni and Development teams are continuing work remotely and are available to support you. In addition to the resources and services available on our website, we are always available at alumnioffice@widener.edu.

Helping our students: Widener worked quickly to address the health and safety of our students and all three of our campus communities. This is an especially disruptive time for our students and Widener is providing support wherever possible. We encourage you to explore the various ways you can help us support our students.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your loyalty and support and look forward to the opportunity to see you in person, hopefully soon.

How We Can Support Widener Students Together

Widener worked quickly to address the health and safety of our students and all three of our campus communities. Here are just a few of the actions Widener has taken:

Creating the Widener Student Emergency Fund to provide immediate support to students who need it most
Gifting laptops to students who did not have them so they may continue their courses online
Providing pro-rated refunds on room and board
Continuing housing accommodations to students who cannot go home due to travel restrictions or special circumstances

Widener has created the Widener Student Emergency Fund to assist students and their families with unexpected costs related to COVID-19 including travel, technology needs, and in some cases, the loss or reduction of wages from internships, co-ops, and jobs.

Your support of the Widener Student Emergency Fund will be a lifeline for students who face challenges they couldn’t have imagined just a few short weeks ago.

Make a Gift

Some of our students have faced the loss of co-ops and internships and all of our seniors will be entering an uncertain job market. Networking with alumni who offer professional advice, support, and encouragement will make a big difference. Our students are amazing and they need your help! You’ll both enjoy the experience.

Consider Hiring a Widener Student for a Co-Op, Internship, Micro-Internship, or Job Placement within Your Company

At this time of year, many seniors are searching for jobs — and students in other class years are searching for internships and co-ops. Any listings or leads you know of are tremendously helpful to us. Please send any information about jobs, internships, or leads directly to alumnioffice@widener.edu.

Give your time and expertise back to our community while showing students how their classroom experiences connect to careers. Micro-Internships provide a new way for alumni to connect with current students.
