shaping your future
making memories

wcsu.edu
finding your voice
Choosing a college is like knocking on
doors to the future and wondering what
you’ll find. Will this door open on a scene
totally unexpected, or one where you fit
right in? Will that door lead to exciting
challenges with interesting people who’ll
make the adventure worth the ride?
Welcome to WestConn, a university
that’s all these things and more.
The immediate future we offer here is full
of information and experiences; it evolves
day by day. It’s a time of goals emerging
that you never knew you had, revealed
by skilled instructors whose mission is
to make every light go on in your brain.
Ultimately, it’s a platform fully assembled
for success.
WestConn’s history goes back more
than 100 years to its start in Danbury
as a hometown teacher-training school
that simply refused to stop growing.
Now we’re a comprehensive institution
of higher learning with two very different
campuses, both located in Danbury
and serving the same students. And
our “never stop growing” mantra still
applies –– as much to our future as it
will to yours if you choose this university
as your own.

These outreach classes and other opportunities
to participate in research studies

WestConn science students will draw on in
their future careers. For non-science majors,
participation means developing a deeper
awareness of our natural environment and
the impact we have on it –– both individually
and as a society.

The Arts
& Sciences
speak volumes here
meteorology at WestConn
“I love weather and wanted to study it. My goal is to work at
NASA, but I never realized how few schools offer degrees in
meteorology. Then I visited WestConn. The Weather Center
was perfect!”
- Junior Cassandra Calderella
The only Connecticut public university to
offer a degree program in meteorology,
WestConn students studying weather
broadcasting have interned with local
television stations.
From the physical sciences to languages
and literature, from psychology and math to
computer science, media arts and anthropology,
the arts and sciences are alive at WestConn and
engaging students in examining the substance
and challenges of the world they will encounter.
As a student here, you might be part of a
computer science class building and programming
LEGO robots (right). Or your videography
class might welcome a director such as Twilight’s
Catherine Hardwicke (below) to speak about
making fabulous books into great movies. Want
to help bring peace to our troubled world? Our
political science students participated in an
international conference via Skype (bottom

Ancell School
of Business:
inspiring success
“In my business program at WestConn, the focus is on leadership.
The skills I’m learning in people-oriented courses like management
negotiations and organizational behavior will be so beneficial to me
in my career.”
- Senior Amanda Lorenzo
Dean of the ASB Dr. Allen Morton (center) and ASB
students are interviewed on WXCI campus radio about
their collaborative marketing project with SIAS
University students in China.
Classrooms at WestConn are equipped with
up-to-date instructional technology. In addition,
our Student Technology Training Center
provides hands-on training in using the software
and services available on campus.
WestConn’s Ancell School of Business (ASB)
prepares students for the careers they want in
management, accounting, finance, management
information systems (MIS), marketing and more.
ASB programs inform students’ business acumen
and develop the skills required for success in corporate,
entrepreneurial, financial, philanthropic or
other areas of business. In addition, our graduates
frequently go on to pursue advanced degrees such
as the ASB’s Master of Business Administration.
The ASB Division of Justice and Law Administration
(JLA) prepares students who anticipate
careers in the broad and challenging field of law.
Graduates have gone on to study at some of the
top law schools in the country. ASB graduates
have become judges, paralegals, criminal justice
administrators, law enforcement officers and more.
Our programs are taught by career attorneys,
constitutional law authorities and others whose
experience and credentials in this critical arena are
highly respected.
Jason Santiago
Jason Santiago ’10 once felt a sense of
disconnection from accepted paths to
success. Now a graduate of ASB’s JLA,
Santiago has already accomplished goals he
once believed were far beyond his reach.
The Educational Achievement & Access
Program (EAP) helped Santiago overcome a
reading disability and master self-discipline and
good study skills (he made dean’s list!). Now
it’s Santiago who is helping at-risk youth take
control of their futures. He worked at EAP
as an undergraduate and is currently head
coordinator of EAP at WestConn.
“Eventually I’ll use my JLA degree in criminal
justice to become a law enforcement officer,”
Santiago says. “I’ve learned so much here
about how to overcome obstacles and how
to deal with people. I tell the kids I work with
that the true GPS is the one in your heart.
Follow it and you’ll find your way.”

Professional
Studies:
standards of dedication
Student teacher Jared Cowden
’09, who graduated with a B.S.
in Secondary Education-Biology,
brought nature into the classroom
during his student-teaching
at Danbury High School.
“WestConn’s location and low tuition appealed to me first, but it’s the
individual attention you get here from professors that really counts.
Also, the internship program I’m in as a special ed teacher has been
especially important to me.”
- Junior Albert (Ryan) Rivero
Health promotion and exercise science students
regularly sponsor a wide variety of health-related
community activities in the Danbury area.
It’s been said that teaching is a vocation, a calling.
The same is said for nursing and social work as
well as health promotion and exercise sciences.
Training for these Professional Studies
programs is rigorous. Student teachers, for
instance, log many long hours of classroom time
before sitting for assessment exams and certification.
Nurses spend months in hospital settings
in order to advance to the level of responsibility
and expertise demanded by the job.
Here at WestConn, this training pays off. Our
students consistently achieve one of the
highest pass rates in the state on the nursing
board exam and our social work graduates are
often eligible for advanced standing in graduate
schools that offer a master’s in social work.
If your interest lies in education, health and the
human services professions, then WestConn is
the place to train for the career of your dreams!
To ensure they’re among the very best
in their field, student nurses at WestConn
complete an educational journey that
seeks to put them to the test in more
ways than one.
Taught by an outstanding faculty of
nurse educators who bring a wealth
of experience to the classroom, the
academic bar is set high. It has to be
when lives are at stake.
Our goal is to provide a superb education
that will allow beginning nurses to meet
the ever-changing health care challenges
of a demanding profession. After graduation,
our nurses are among the most
respected and sought-after in the state.
Most secure employment immediately at
one of many hospitals or medical centers
from which they can choose.

Hang with new friends and old as
WestConn swings into spring to the
beat of our annual Jazz Fest! Primo
musicians wail on stage and conduct
exciting and fun workshops. With
one of the few B.M. in Jazz Studies
programs in the region, we love to hear
our young jazzers honing their techniques
with the best at the Fest each year!
And with WestConn’s close-to-NYC
location, we get to bring some truly
great musicians to perform and jam with
students during Jazz Fest. Recent artists
of note: Grammy-Award winners Maria
Schneider and Chick Corea!

Our Visual &
Performing Arts
are taking bows
“After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as an airborne
infantryman, no one was more surprised than me to discover
art as a profession. My classes at WCSU helped me focus in on
my creativity and develop it for the career I want.”
- Senior Bryan Bielefeldt, U.S. Army Veteran
Our theatre students create memorable characters on
stage each year. Here, they offer a spring performance
of the play, “A Flea in Her Ear.”
When it comes to taking learning out of the classroom,
WestConn instructors identify landscapes and destinations
that will inspire their students.
Maybe you “find” yourself in music, or in creating
vivid images as a graphic designer. Maybe you
hope to someday flood Broadway’s stages with
color as a lighting engineer, or to illustrate books
with unforgettable characters who delight young
imaginations.
Bring us all the talent and energy you’re ready to
give your art. Our faculty of artists, directors, per
formers and designers help students discover the
creative genie within and develop the confidence
required to ace auditions or blow the competition
away with their portfolios.
Our conservatory-level music department,
known for its top instructors and programs,
has teamed up with our theatre arts program
to develop a B.A. in Musical Theatre degree —
the first of its kind in the CSU system. And our art
department –– with its students exhibiting on
campus and at venues in places like
New York City –– shines!

Adrienne Ostrove
WestConn Research Day offers an
opportunity for students to share their research
or other accomplishments, such as paintings
or music, in a conference set in the atrium of
our Science Building on the Midtown campus.
As a participant, Adrienne Ostrove ’10 (right),
whose dual majors were psychology and Spanish,
partnered with Sarah L. Decker ’10 on their project,
“Effects of Context on Judgmentalism.” The faculty
mentor on the project was Associate Professor of
Psychology Dr. Robin C. Flanagan.
Putting your message or talent out there requires
confidence. Here at WestConn, students ready
to let the world see their work have champions
in the faculty members who mentor them. Says
Ostrove, “Pretty much every professor I’ve ever
had (and some that I haven’t!) has been a mentor
to me, which is one of the great things about
WestConn.”

Options
& opportunities
“Studying in Spain was one of the most enjoyable parts of
my college career at WestConn. Meeting new people, traveling
to different cities and learning about other cultures and perspectives
is something everyone should experience if they can.”
- Senior Sophia Duarte
Once you’re admitted here, you’ll be assigned an
academic adviser who’ll help you steer a clear path

arm for our media arts
program,” says Department
Chair and Professor of

amount of talent
and –– most importantly
–– the ability to inspire.
Frankly, the quality of work
his students are producing
is really amazing.”

Jumping for the

Have trampoline, will touch the sky — for a

It isn’t just the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity
brothers who find meaningful ways to raise dollars
and awareness on our campus. This jump-a-thon
for Alzheimer’s (left) honors President Ronald
Reagan, a TKE member and victim of the disease.
But many other students at WestConn contribute
their efforts and endless energies to charitable
events as well. Take for instance the Morning Glory
Breakfast Program at the Dorothy Day House in
Danbury. Our athletes (above left) volunteer there,
serving many homeless individuals who find food
and comfort at this long-established place
of welcome.
You may know the Jimmy Fund. Our students
certainly do! Here (above center) a group of them
challenge a lake full of winter ice to raise money for
the fund. No worries, though — Danbury’s heroic
firemen stand ready to rescue anyone too chilly
to climb back out of the water!
Another favorite destination for the dollars our
students raise is Ann’s Place, the Home of
I Can. This is where people living with cancer, and
their loved ones, receive support and comfort. Our
women’s lacrosse team members (above right),
along with members of our men’s team, had a
great time raising funds for Ann’s Place during last
year’s Festival of Lights.

Sure, you love to study. And going to class for all
that knowledge you’re going to need to thrive in
our exciting 21st century — that’s the first thing
on your mind most of the time, right?
Sounds reasonable. But there is another side
to WestConn we’re pretty sure you’ll love once
you get to know us better. Like taking part in our
for-fun Colonial Wars (right), where our various
residence halls square off to show which one is
really the best place to reside. Or being part of
WXCI—FM campus radio (below), spinning the
talk and tunes that go out to the Danbury area

Maybe you’ll love gliding over the ice at Winter

Melissa Teel
Melissa Teel has been virtually unstoppable on
the basketball court, helping our Colonial women
to a 23-6 record, a Little East Conference
title, and a berth in the Division III NCAA
Tournament. Teel is nevertheless as much a
lover of literature as she is master of the layup.
Her scholastic achievement, athletic talent and
upbeat personality would have appealed to any
university, but she chose WestConn –– and
we’re delighted she did!
Finding time to dedicate to both her class
workload and her team is a delicate balancing
act, but one that Teel, a senior, seems to have
perfected. “It’s hard at first, but it gets easier,”
she says. “It’s all about time management.”

Athletics:

Sports mean different things to different people.
Many students at WestConn focus on exercise as
a large component of their physical health. If that’s
you, welcome to the great gyms, workout rooms,
pool, tennis courts, etc., waiting here for you.
Our men’s and women’s teams belong to the
National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III
and our football program is part of the New Jersey
Athletic Conference. The 13 other intercollegiate
programs participate in the Little East Conference.
Whether you are a lacrosse lover or tops in tennis,
basketball, volleyball, or soccer, be a player or a
fan at WestConn and have a ball!
Intramural and club sports thrive at WestConn, too.
Serious and not-so-serious athletes and fans alike
enjoy our beautiful O’Neill Center, Westside Athletic
