Welcome, summer!

Although it’s not quite summer yet, the campus is alive with flowers and greenery, and looks as alive as ever! We miss seeing all the students on campus, but the birds, squirrels, and bees are keeping us company for now.

Today we’ll share some photographs that show some fun in the sun on campus for all of you that may be missing it!

Congratulations, Class of 2022!

It’s the final day of finals! To all the seniors wrapping up their final semester, you did it! You’re following in the footsteps of many great men and women before you who donned their caps and gowns at Western New England University. Congratulations!

‘Twas the Night Before Finals

National Poetry Month may be over, but as we said, poetry is everywhere, even when you’re not looking for it!

While searching the student newspapers for information about how students handled finals week in the past, we came upon the poem below. So apparently, one way to get through finals was to take a break with a little creativity and write a poem!

From The Westerner, May 1960

Fortunately for this student, the only distraction was the television screen. Wonder how they would have fared with all of the screens and information and distractions we face now!
