WesFest Events
WesFest is a celebration of all things Wesleyan and will be held on Fridays, April 8th, 15th and 22nd! Schedules for each day will be nearly identical (see the sample schedule below), so you only need to register for one. We invite admitted students and one guest to join us to experience and explore the diverse opportunities that a Wesleyan education has to offer. Come celebrate your admission to the Class of 2026!
