This isn’t just a spirit day. It’s a chance for faculty, staff, and students to come together, celebrate what makes us distinctively WestConn, and build the connections that make our campuses feel like home.
WestConn Wednesdays continue all year long — just wear your WestConn blue and orange to show your Wolves pride. Show off your gear on social media and tag #WestConnWednesday to be eligible for one of several prizes each week.
