WIDENER UNIVERSITY Widener University takes pride in developing leaders. Founded in 1821, Widener has grown through 190 years of leadership. The university has graduated great leaders throughout its history—alumni who have served as generals, members of Congress, judges, CEOs, engineers, authors, and teachers. In fact, more than 1,000 of our alumni hold the title of president or CEO, and more than 100 have served as judges. Widener continues to turn out graduates who enter their chosen fields and not only succeed, but are also quickly recognized as standouts who show the rare skills needed to reshape their companies, industries, and communities. How does Widener do this? By being an innovative metropolitan university that connects curricula to societal issues through civic engage-
