The Year That Kept on Giving

Now for the article you've all been waiting for. (No? Just us?)

We're in our gifting era for 2024 so here's what we're leaving you. Looking for actual presents? Visit the bookstore. #ShamelessPlug

For everyone on the Chester campus, a new Wawa on McDade. We had nothing to do with it. But we'll take credit for it.

To Chester campus (con't.): a working clock on 14th Street. (We put in a work order.)

For students trying to sleep in: a set of broken leaf blowers for the early-morning landscapers.

To Wolfgram Memorial Library's Mary McNeil, more TikToks. Please, Queen.

A place in the history books for the Center for Civic Engagement, the Political Engagement Committee, and the political science and communications studies departments: another year of providing our students hands-on experiences in the exercise of democracy. And to Professor Wes Leckrone for driving the van on the longest road trip: a heated seat.

For Widener besties and fellow law deans, andre douglas pond cummings and Todd Clark, armfuls of Taylor Swift friendship bracelets. ⚖️

Law Deans Todd Clark and andre douglas pond cummings.

More hours in the day go to President Stacey, so she can attend even more university-wide events, meals and athletic competitions than she already does. And an energy drink. Oh wait, she doesn't need it.

To our whole university community: a year of beautiful sunsets and astronomical happenings like eclipses and northern lights.

To our returning and incoming students: we're manifesting a smooth FAFSA process for 2025-26. Positive vibes only. A special shout out to everyone at Widener who navigated last year's federal debacle. We're looking at you Admissions and Financial Aid, just to name a few.

To our Widener family: a restful, rejuvenating winter break. You belong back here in January. See you soon.

And to all, a gn.
