Help Write Our Next Chapter: Refer a Golden Bear
By Katie DeBeer
Our students, faculty, staff, and alumni are the greatest ambassadors of the WNE spirit—that special sense of Golden Bear pride and community. As someone with strong ties to Western New England University, no one knows better than you what type of student would thrive at WNE.
The Refer a Golden Bear program provides an opportunity to support and contribute to the WNE community by introducing us to prospective students. When you make a referral, we will personally follow up with your prospective student to answer any questions and encourage them to learn more about WNE. Once a prospective student is referred, one in four choose to apply.
Thanks for staying connected to WNE and taking this opportunity to help shape our future.
