Rideshare

Help green Reunion & Commencement Weekend—make traveling to and from campus a group effort! Whether you are flying or driving, connect with others who are doing the same and reduce the amount of emissions released into our atmosphere by using the Wesleyan Rideboard. Sharing rides not only greatly reduces the number of cars traveling to campus, it allows for easer and more convenient parking availability, fills your trip with great conversation, and provides the opportunity for mini-reunions! Connect with other Wesleyan alumni and families in your region, carpool with classmates from your hotel, or share a cab ride or rental from the airport or train station.

Alumni: Log into your WesNet account at www.wesleyan.edu/wesnet and click "Rideboard" (under "Resources") to view or offer available rides, and find other alumni traveling to campus from your area. Trouble logging in or using the site? Contact the Office of Alumni and Parent Relations Interns at 860/685-2802 or wesrideboard@wesleyan.edu for assistance.
