Student Engagement
Make the most of your college experience, get involved and make a difference on campus and in the community.
GET INVOLVED!
As a student at NCWU, we want you to be active through social, educational, and cultural events and programs. We offer out-of-class learning experiences that reinforce classroom lessons and help you to develop into well-rounded students. Student engagement is vital to rewarding social lives, strengthening leadership skills, and the desire to make a difference on campus and in the community.
Most all of our events and programs are chosen by NCWU students and reflects the diverse interests of our student community. During your University career, you are encouraged to get involved and make the most of your experience. The Office of Student Engagement (OSE) staff members are available to help student leaders operate successfully and responsibly within the framework of the University’s mission and policies. They serve as a resource to all students in finding the right student organization to join, creating an organization, and/or realizing a vision for programs.
A measurable way to tell your Wesleyan story!
Also, you will have the opportunity to explore our co-curricular transcripts program, WesQuest, a platform which enhances student engagement and success. WesQuest will help you track and document your engagement beyond the classroom. Measuring your achievement of the competencies employers desire, WesQuest is your dynamic, real-time co-curricular transcript to show others your experiences at Wesleyan.
Created to complement our academic curriculum, WesQuest prepares students to become well-rounded professionals. The program is rooted in the NCWU mission and demonstrates the core values that shape our identity: Knowledge and Understanding, Integrity and Accountability, Patience and Respect, Kindness and Empathy.
Training Modules
The student engagement team created training modules to introduce you to the WesQuest program, the Suitable platform, and all the ways you can engage in co-curricular learning! By completing the modules, you’ll earn 50 WesQuest Advantage points – bringing you closer to your 2,000 point goal!
ACCESS TRAINING MODULES
Alternatively, the student engagement team offers virtual workshops throughout the semester. They are led by a member of the student engagement team and cover similar information provided by the asynchronous training modules. If you have specific questions or would like a refresher on the WesQuest program and/or the Suitable app, then this is a great option!
