At the heart of the Widener experience are the talented and caring professors who make their students' education and personal well-being their first priority.
Guidance and connections from mentors help place our students on the inside track to personal and professional success.
Widener is definitely like a home away from home. I spend a lot of time here, so I’ve gotten used to the environment. It’s very comfortable and everyone here is really nice.
I think that knowledge about sex education and human sexuality genuinely saves lives, so you shouldn’t try to hide it from people.
Take a close look at what you do for fun and find a way to keep doing it.
I’ve had one of the best experiences in education that I could have ever imagined.
I was recently named Director of the Year for excellence in marketing. Widener's pillar of leadership emboldens me. There’s a home for me at Widener and having a seat and getting involved teaches networking and time management.
Widener is a really welcoming community, and the professors have been by my side the past couple of years, always able to help me with open arms.
The women and men of the Widener faculty bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "Above and Beyond."
At its best, learning is a two-way exchange, an ongoing conversation. Our professors provide constant, continual feedback that helps you improve your writing, thinking, research, and clinical skills. They teach and then they mentor. This investment takes considerable time and energy. Our professors think it's worth it.
Our size is just right for developing relationships. Big enough to find mentors who share your interests and understand your goals. Small enough for you to find your way into a professor's lab for research collaboration. Relationships matter moving forward. Your Widener professors will be resources for life.
Influential figures in their disciplines, our professors have a network of connections directly related to your future path. They link you with relevant internships, co-ops, and research opportunities. They put you in touch with Widener alumni in your field, people who are able (and eager) to help you get started.
The Summer Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities program, or SURCA, saw a record number of participants this year from across academic disciplines. Included in this group were several students taking part for the first time.
