Thriving the First Year
All four years at W&J College are fun, but your first year is special. Meet your first roommates. Connect with your alumni mentor (who will send you cookies on your first day!). Find your tribe. Your first year is the beginning of belonging to a strong, lifelong community.
Finding Yourself at W&J College
Maybe you know your goal is medical school. Or maybe you're not sure yet where you're headed. Both paths are possible at W&J College. Here, you'll discover limitless connections. You might uncover connections between cuisine and communication that will make you a better cook and a better doctor, or unearth a passion for wildlife conservation through one of the student clubs.
Leadership is second nature for Washington & Jefferson College history major Jess Skobel ’20. By her sophomore year, Jess was already co-chairperson of W&J’s TOM Talks (akin to TED Talks), secretary of the Student Government Association (SGA), and a Rule, Hughes, Murphy honor recipient—an award presented to sophomores who exemplify a high level of capability at W&J.
“[In the lab], I felt like…I was in the midst of developing science,” Kunkle said. “I read manuscripts and grants, and Dr. [Jessica] Klusek, [the associate professor of communication sciences and disorders at the University of South Carolina who directed the lab], would email me research and say, ‘Hey, we’re looking to get this published next week, can you look over it?’ And just being a part of that was really amazing.”
We would love to show you around.
