Welcome to Fall!

The start of classes is always an exciting and inspiring time! It’s wonderful to see our campuses re-energized after a restorative summer. The arrival and return of students over the last two weeks, and now seeing everyone come together for classes, make this one of the best times of year!

As I told our first-year students at convocation on Friday, you are exactly where you’re meant to be, because you belong here. My hope for all of you – students, faculty, staff – is a year of personal growth where you seize some of the many opportunities at Widener to do amazing things – on campus, in our Chester, Harrisburg and Wilmington communities, and beyond.

I know that you will all support and encourage one another along the way. Widener is a community that is universally committed to student success. New and returning students, we are here for you! Meet new people, try new things! If you struggle, ask for help. There are so many offices, programs and individuals who are ready to assist and reassure you, so you can conquer fears, overcome setbacks, and soar with the confidence that comes from our inclusive community, where you are never alone.

I will see you all out there this semester – at musical and arts events, athletic competitions, at club and organization programs and so much more. Together, our contributions will make Widener an even more welcoming and vibrant place than it already is!

With Warmth and Widener Pride,
Stacey
