Welcome to Wesleyan

For many generations of students, Wesleyan University has stood for the opportunity to connect serious intellectual and aesthetic work with making a difference in the world. Wesleyan students have the talent, the capacity and the drive to create something new. Our open curriculum enables them to identify and to pursue their passions. Our faculty teach them how to test their ideas against the learning that has come before them, as well as how to refine and strengthen their work. By the end of their undergraduate careers, our students know how to produce work that can change the worlds of ideas, of enterprise, and of service. The gift of a Wesleyan education is the freedom to discover what you love to do and then to get better at it.

This is a gift I received as a student here thirty years ago. May your own experience with Wesleyan live up to this high promise!

Sincerely,
