About
Western Connecticut State University changes lives by providing all students with a high-quality education that fosters their growth as individuals, scholars, professionals and leaders in a global society. Western Connecticut State University, founded in 1903, is located in Danbury, a major city in Fairfield County in foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, 65 miles north of Manhattan and 50 miles west of Hartford. WestConn’s rural 364-acre Westside campus complements its 34-acre, 15-building Midtown campus in the heart of downtown Danbury. Constant planning, evaluation and improvement of programs and curriculum sharpen Western’s “edge of excellence” and keep it responsive to the progressive community it serves.
Many people have given me help and guidance over my years here, to the point where I feel like I have a team of people behind me, supporting me, rather than a single mentor.
