Congratulations to all the new Golden Rams who will soon start their undergraduate and graduate studies at WCU! To our returning Rams, get ready for another exciting year on campus! You should be proud of what West Chester University in its 152 years has contributed to our world in the past and be excited about how you, personally, will contribute to the University’s reputation and legacy in the future!
Like many WCU students, I worked full-time while pursuing my degree. If you are in this situation, it can be a tremendous challenge and you should be proud of all you have done to get yourself where you are today. No matter how you achieve your academic goals — undergraduate, graduate, full-time, or part-time — you are Golden Rams and valued members of our community.
For those who have already graduated, there are numerous ways you can join the excitement on campus. Your Alumni Association is planning a wide variety of events designed to help you connect with current students, faculty, and more than 127,000 of your fellow alumni. Mark your calendar for Homecoming/Family Weekend September 29-October 1 and plan to make new friends, network, and cheer on the football team as they tackle Bloomsburg University. If you haven’t been on campus for a while, attend Homecoming and walk around campus to see what’s changed.
On behalf of the Alumni Association, we look forward to meeting you at an upcoming on-campus event and wish you a great 2023-2024 academic year!
Rams Up!
