THIS IS NOT A CAMPAIGN
This is not a campaign because a campaign isn’t audacious enough to encompass Wesleyan’s commitment to access, launch, and activate possibilities in a way that resonates on campus, across distance, and through generations.
This is not a campaign. This is Wesleyan.
Make it Possible
"Students should find what they love to do, get better at it, and learn to share what they love with others."
