Personal Focus… through mentoring and the connections we provide.
Often, this is accomplished through connections with
our admissions team in the early part of the recruitment process. Open houses, new student convocation,
one-to-one mentoring with faculty and staff, social events, enrichment programs, student clubs, sports
teams, and other activities reinforce
personal
connections. These connections develop more profoundly
into the family and community atmosphere that many of our students positively acknowledge. This
atmosphere is the number one reason students choose Wesleyan and stay here. So, why NC Wesleyan? Those close
connections, research opportunities, and the ability to be active in our community, support our
mission, vision, and core values.
