Dear Parents and Families of Students in the Class of 2026,
Greetings from Middletown! Spring is in the air and students are gearing up for the excitement of the end of the spring semester. As they prepare for the remainder of the semester, these are some important dates to take note of; the last day of class is May 8, and final exams begin on Tuesday, May 14 and end on Friday, May 17. University housing closes at 1pm on Saturday, May 18.
By now all second semester sophomores have selected a major and have been assigned a major advisor. Students are currently participating in the course registration process for the fall semester and if they haven’t done so already, they should connect with their advisor to make sure they are on track for successful completion of their major.
If your student hasn’t finalized their summer plan, it’s not too late for them to connect with the Gordon Career Center to discuss summer internships or summer research opportunities. Your student might be interested in taking a summer course at Wesleyan, please encourage them to take a look at the summer session calendar so that they can be aware of registration deadlines. Summer session is a great way for students to continue to explore Wesleyan’s curriculum.
We made it to the halfway mark in your student’s Wesleyan experience! It has been a great year of getting to know the class of 2026 and I am looking forward to welcoming them back in the fall. As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best,
Shelissa Newball
Dean for the Class of 2026
