All of us share a deep passion for West Chester University and this passion
continues to grow exponentially with each graduating class. I fell in love with
WCU when I first came to this campus many years ago and I want every student to
fall in love with WCU, too. I want students to feel that when they step onto
this campus they belong here, they're happy that they came here, and this is
where they want to be.

We're proud of our beautiful campus and the unique charm that defines West
Chester. But with three of the country's most dynamic cities - DC, Philadelphia
and New York City - just a short ride away, escapes are kind of necessary.
