Having the opportunities that my mentor Dr. Robin Goldberg-Glen gave me—to speak at two symposiums as well as a conference with a full crowded room—helps me with networking and connections and puts me out of my comfort zone.

The professors in SBA were phenomenal, and the staff in the athletic center were also amazing. The culture that was being built made my experience so special and made me feel included and welcomed although I came in two years late to the program.

Student Perspectives
“[Widener’s] hospitality fits my personality. I was able to get to know my professors and they got to know me. Especially when I went back for my bachelor’s, I said, ‘I have kids at home and I’m married; as a non-traditional student I need support’.”
