Hear from our students about their inside track experiences.
I fell in love with exercise science and art therapy and both have been a perfect match for occupational therapy.
Being able to have these internships and experiences outside of the classroom makes me feel happy because not only am I able to build connections, but I’m getting experience and understanding with the career that I want.
It’s an understanding at Widener that the faculty and staff want their students to succeed.
When I’m here I feel I am welcomed in the community. That’s what has guided me.
One thing that Widener did so well was teach me how to adapt to different programming languages and user systems. I definitely was prepared to take on that challenge.
It’s really important to me to be involved in setting an image, especially for first-generation students or people who are shy or minority students on campus. I want to use my voice.
