Our Counselors are here to help you through the entire admissions process
We make Wesleyan PERSONAL in so many ways. Often, this is accomplished through connections with our admissions team in the early part of the recruitment process. Open houses, new student convocation, one-to-one mentoring with faculty and staff, social events, enrichment programs, student clubs, sports teams, and other activities reinforce personal connections. These connections develop more profoundly into the family and community atmosphere that many of our students positively acknowledge. This atmosphere is the number one reason students choose Wesleyan and stay at Wesleyan. Those close connections, research opportunities, and the ability to be active in our community, support our mission, vision, and core values.
