Belonging

Find your people, build your community, and make Widener feel like home.

Feel accepted, valued, included, and encouraged by others.

Belonging helps create a sense of community and connection on campus, encouraging you to reach out and connect with peers, faculty, and staff. It can also help you maintain a sense of purpose and direction as you navigate your college experience. Belonging provides support, builds relationships, and helps you stay involved on campus. When you feel like you belong, you are more likely to stick with your studies and get the most out of your college experience.
