Updates from the Dean
Dear Parent or Guardian,
I hope you had a wonderful summer. Our faculty and staff at Waynesburg University have been very busy welcoming back all of our students for another great academic year! The university is off to an amazing start, and there are lots of great things happening on campus!
Student Engagement will be offering a variety of both on- and off-campus opportunities for the entire student body. They hosted their annual on-campus tie-dye and ice cream social and the ever-popular Bingo! Off-campus, students will have the opportunity to travel to the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium, attend a Pittsburgh Steelers game, and go to Kennywood Amusement Park The Center for Service Leadership is offering domestic and international service trips for fall, winter, spring and summer breaks, connecting our mission of faith, learning and service! Please encourage your student to explore the Service Tab, located on myConnect, for additional information.
As the Dean of Students, I am committed to helping your students grow in all areas of life outside the classroom! As always, we are here to support your student and assist you with any questions along the way Please do not hesitate to contact us at (724) 852-3206
Best wishes for an extraordinary Waynesburg Experience, and GO JACKETS!

Everbridge Emergency Notifications
The beginning of the Fall semester each year is the perfect time to register your cell phone or other contact information with Waynesburg University’s Everbridge Emergency Alert system. Registration is fast, simple and accessible through myConnect on the main page.
Every student and employee with a “waynesburg.edu” address is automatically notified via email in the event of a crisis situation, weather emergency, or campus closure, etc. However, updating cell or home phone information ensures your student is immediately informed of an evolving incident through phone calls and SMS text messages as well.
This is just one of the many ways Waynesburg University’s security operations works hard to keep its campus community safe
Any questions about Waynesburg‘s Security Operations or Emergency Management can be directed to Tim Gilbert, director for the Department of Public Safety, at tgilbert@waynesburgedu
