Orientation Workshops - Handouts and Links
If you attended one or more of the various workshops during orientation, you have been told about the handouts available on our website. This is the place to be. If you just want to read over the information one more time or print a copy for you to peruse at leisure, you will find these handouts useful. And if you find that you still have a question, please fell free to call the individual offices or contact Birte Selvaraj at 203-837-9700.

Check out the activities planned in downtown Danbury, often just a few
minutes walk away from the Midtown campus. Sign up for their
weekly newsletter and stay fully informed year round.
International Student
Exchange Program
Western is a member institution of ISEP which means our students
can study abroad at other ISEP member universities almost
anywhere in the world, paying only Western's tuition, room & board
plus travel expenses, international
insurance, and the ISEP Fee. Students can go for
one semester or an entire year, but
need to remember to apply about 6 months in advance of their travel
to be considered within the priority pool of applicants.
Credits transfer as free elective credits only, unless otherwise
arranged with department chairs.
Midtown Coffeehouse
The Midtown Coffeehouse was established in the fall of
2005 and has run continuously throughout the fall and
spring semesters ever since. Thus, it has become an
event students can count on for their Thursday night
entertainment - an hour of open mic followed by a
featured performer or a themed evening of
entertainment. Lately a number of table games have been
added to the line-up of free food, sodas, and coffee so
that students have a chance to socialize while listening
to the performances.

This site provides information
and fact sheets for college parents, students and college
administrators. There are links for helpful tips for parents who are
sending their child off to campus. What should I be telling my child?
Do they already know about alcohol? What is the best information I can
give my student? What really goes on at college? Parents expectations
can influence a students’ behavior at school.
