Why WP?

I was clueless when I first started my journey as a freshman at WP, but a close-knit community of professors and peers, including those in the Honors College on campus, have helped me map out my future plans. I have gotten valuable hand-on experience as a research intern in one of our labs, a tutor at The Science Enrichment Center, and a supplemental instructor for a chemistry course. People here are willing to go to great lengths to ensure your success.
