Dante's Story
This program gave me the protocol to follow and has taught me how to be a great ultrasound technician. This is the stepping stone to get me there.
Danielle Laskowski
Danielle's Story
“I feel like if I went to a bigger school I wouldn’t have been able to, or felt comfortable enough to, interact with the professors the way I did at Widener.”
Kevin Brown
Kevin's Story
Freshman year was a great year. Even though I was not physically on campus, I felt at home. I love it here. I was shocked with how much love I received online and I knew it would be 1,000 times better in person.
Kennedy Shaw
Kennedy's Story
I think back at my little freshman self, trying to throw the shot put, and then where I am now, and I know there was a point to all of this. I am so blessed and so thankful for all the opportunities that Widener has given me.
