We take great pride in being a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive community that values and celebrates each other's differences.
Our We're All Widener initiative demonstrates an approach and commitment to diversity in which a plurality of viewpoints are valued, explored, and seen as opportunities for learning and personal growth. Our focus on diversity emphasizes three key values: We're all valued. We're all contributors. We're all Widener.
We're home to numerous multicultural and interfaith organizations – including Black Student Union, Sexuality and Gender Alliance, and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship –that enrich our campus and foster an environment where everyone is valued. Educational and social programs unite and inform our community about cultures and traditions represented here and beyond.
Regardless of where you're from or how you identify, you will be supported by dedicated faculty and staff who care about you – as an individual. And you will have access to resources and services that will make this place truly feel like a second home.
We all hold different beliefs and perspectives. But we’re committed to sharing our views and engaging with people in respectful, meaningful ways. Through our Common Ground Initiative, students, faculty/staff, and administrators engage in dialogue about important issues on campus and beyond in an effort to build mutual understanding and unity.
We’re committed to the faith lives of all of our students, and support interfaith student organizations, worship, and special events. Our Interfaith Sacred Space is a central location for you to nourish your spiritual life in an open, accepting, and unique environment through prayer, reflection, counseling, activities, and more.
Through study abroad, Alternative Spring Break trips, immersion experiences, civic engagement opportunities, and other activities, you can step out of your comfort zone, explore the world, and engage with a diverse community that reflects the world you're about to live and work in.
The Diversity Leadership Inclusion Council is a committee that oversees our commitment to diversity and inclusion on campus. The council is comprised of senior administrators, faculty, and staff members.
