What makes your college a great place to work?

President's Statement

Widener University is a great place to work thanks to great people who care deeply about their work. Faculty and staff share a singular focus on and dedication to the success of our students. Employees participate enthusiastically and collaboratively to achieve University goals and their accomplishments are recognized and rewarded. Professional and leadership opportunities abound as do opportunities to get involved in making a difference both on and off campus. It's no wonder we call ourselves the "Widener Pride".

Employee Comment

The flexible work schedules have improved the efficiency and productivity of my department, along with having improved morale and work life balance. I also appreciate that I can count on the people in my unit, for the most part, to have my back and to do whatever it takes to get the job done. People in my unit genuinely care about one another.
