Alumni Resources

I’ve learned to listen and communicate better with people as well as to be excited about experiencing and learning new things. Since I want to be a doctor, these are both very important skills as it’s what I will constantly be doing.

Anja Popey, Chemistry & Economics ’22

W&J encourages students to get out of their comfort zone and try something they only dreamed of doing.

Will Tucker, Sociology ’20

Dr. Kuo was adamant that being a well-rounded individual with experience in many fields and the ability to problem solve would be critical for our future. She was right.

Brooke Shuck, Business Administration, ’20

I can’t think of one school that provides students with the funds to complete an independent project or internship abroad. The Franklin Magellan Award allowed me to pursue things that I had always hoped to do for a better future. It’s one of the reasons I chose to come to W&J.

Chynna Wilcox, Spanish ’20

My W&J education has encouraged me to travel and experience cultures that are different from what I know. My independent research gives me the opportunity to get experience studying something that I will have a career in in the future.
