WELCOME TO THE CLASS OF 2021 BLOG

The 2021 Class Blog is a site for your class dean, Dean Brown, to convey information about academic opportunities (like courses and fellowships), academic and other deadlines (such as course drop/add, grading mode change, course withdrawal), campus events (lectures, workshops, meetings–and flu shots) and other interesting stuff, and cool things about your classmates (ya, let Dean Brown know what you’re doing this summer!).

Beginning today, June 26, Dean Brown will be making a couple of posts a day, so check out the blog on a daily basis.  She looks forward to hearing from you through your Academic Interest Questionnaire and Self-Reflection Essay.  You need to keep a daily eye out on the Orientation Check list as well so that you will be on top of everything.

Don’t hesitate to contact her with any questions or concerns at lsbrown@wesleyan.edu or at 860-685-2758.

thCAFHI30BWelcome to Wesleyan,

Class of 2021!!

We are thrilled that you will be joining the Wesleyan community this fall.  In preparation for that, you will be receiving two emails today:

1) one with your email address, user name and password from Paul Turenne, the senior associate registrar, so check your spam if you do not receive it; and

2) one with information about the Orientation Checklist from the Orientation Interns, from whom you will be receiving weekly emails every Thursday.

One of the first things to check out after the above are the Learning and Living Seminars.  These are three First-Year Seminars where students enrolled in the course also live together in the same residential hall.  This living proximity promotes more opportunity for intellectual life outside the classroom, which in turn, enriches discussion within it.  Sign-up for a Learning and Living Seminar ends on June 29, so check them out now!
