Faculty Mentorship
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.
Pride Perspectives
Guidance and connections from mentors help place our students on the inside track to personal and professional success.
Coach Liberati was the only coach that answered me and gave me an opportunity to play for him. He played a major role in my choice because it showed me that the staff really cared about me.
Before doing this summer research experience, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. I’ve been trying to narrow it down, and this has opened me up to aerospace engineering.
“[Widener’s] hospitality fits my personality. I was able to get to know my professors and they got to know me through conversation”
“I didn’t have a clue about the people behind the games and on TV. Widener opened my eyes to the professional positions out there and helped me see that it was achievable."
I think what is transformative about Widener’s program is that it teaches you not just the theories and methods, but also how to apply them.
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.
