Why Did You Choose Widener?
“I chose Widener because of its academic and athletic reputation as well as the environment. With both of my parents being engineers who have worked with Widener graduates, I was told about the great academic opportunities here. Athletically, my coach recommended I speak with Coach Touey and I learned about his coaching style and all of the success he has had with putting together championship programs. In addition, I felt from visit that the environment at Widener both inside and outside the classroom showed that it was a great college all around.”
