Widener Alumni Lead on the Front Lines of the Coronavirus Response
Widener University alumni are leaders in their fields—and now they are using skills learned at Widener to serve on the front lines of COVID-19 responses.
Widener Magazine
Widener Magazine is published by the Office of University Relations for alumni, parents, friends of Widener, and the university community.
Sharing Inspiration & Achievements from the Pride
The Widener University mascot is The Pride, and the mission of Widener Magazine is to inspire Widener pride in our readers. Our magazine features stories about our alumni, professors, and students who are working together to solve world problems. The magazine also showcases the groundbreaking contributions of our alumni, faculty, and students in fields ranging from neuroscience and nursing to engineering and business. It celebrates the university's rich history, new offerings and developments on campus, and the milestones of our alumni's lives.
Spring 2020: Going Digital in Response to COVID-19
A Message from President Wollman
Each semester, I look forward to sharing the latest issue of Widener Magazine to highlight how our alumni, students, faculty, and staff are shaping their fields and our futures. However, as we prepared to deliver the spring issue to your homes, the rapidly evolving pandemic forced us to adopt a new strategy for distributing this news.
That’s why we’re offering you a digital version of our spring magazine, which includes timely stories of the Widener community stepping up in the face of adversity. I am inspired by and proud of the courage, determination, and resiliency of our university family. But, I am not surprised; these qualities have been a hallmark of our university for nearly 200 years.
I am pleased to share Widener's stories with you digitally. They demonstrate how we are continuing to educate our students and put them on the inside track to success, and how our alumni are making a difference in our world during these challenging times.
With pride,
Julie E. Wollman, PhD
President

"I've been an advocate for the planet my whole life and will dedicate my life to protecting it. Financial support from alumni helped me to take part in important research locally and abroad. I am forever grateful."

The generosity of alumni and friends put Widener students on the inside track to success. Choose to give to the Widener Fund or any program or initiative that's important to you.
In addition, some of our students are facing significant unexpected costs and severe loss of income due to the pandemic. We have set up a special Student Emergency Fund just for them.
