Golden Bear Country
In a Fall Unlike Any Other, Golden Bear Country was Buzzing with Activity
Of the roughly 3,000 colleges and universities tracked by the College Crisis Initiative, Western New England University was among just 27% of schools nationwide that resumed primarily ‘in-person’ teaching last fall. Thanks to careful planning and community cooperation, WNE avoided having to cancel or suspend the on-campus portion of the term; and avoided any major campus outbreaks of COVID-19.
Keeping our Golden Bears active and engaged was critical to helping them manage stress, connect with one another, and serve their communities. The Office of Student Involvement and Leadership, along with organizations in the School of Law and College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, got creative in offering a wide range of socially distanced and online programming.
