Seeds for Success

GROW with us! Waynesburg University will offer three on-campus Seeds for Success Programs this summer that will provide students and parents with both academic and social resources. This program is filled with many relational opportunities to interact with other incoming students, alumni, current students, faculty and staff members. In addition, students will have the opportunity to explore their academic major, learn about life outside of the classroom, have your student ID picture taken, submit forms, tour campus and your residence hall.

Register for one of our Seeds for Success dates: June 27, July 18 and July 21. The program runs from 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm, with check in starting at 12 pm

Summer Financial Aid Reminders
