Student Perspectives
You can take what you learned in the classroom and then apply that to the real world. If we're going over a lecture and we're talking about framing and then we go out to a job and they're doing metal or wood framing, you can see how.

When I came to Widener Day it just felt like home. I chose criminal justice because I always wanted to help people and give people voices who are silenced. There are so many career choices, and I really want to do something with juveniles moving forward.

As a former Marine, it helps that Widener is a Yellow Ribbon school--whatever the GI Bill doesn't cover Widener will forgive. I plan to get my bachelor’s, work in a hospital, then I can get into flight nursing and practice trauma care.

Camp has always been such a big part of my life... I think the education I got through Widener really helped me to fuel that passion and helped me to make connections that I didn’t know could have been made.
