WCSU COVID-19 Call to Action Appeal

During this difficult time WCSU students are facing new and unexpected challenges and financial hardship.

(Nancy Sasso Janis)

Over the last few weeks, the entire Western Connecticut State University community has dealt with dramatic and abrupt changes due to the COVID -19 pandemic. During this difficult time WCSU students are facing new and unexpected challenges and financial hardship. Many of them come from low-to-moderate income households or have other varying circumstances such that the impact COVID-19 has had on them and their families is unprecedented. Between unforeseen expenses and the loss of income because of this crisis, we know that many more WCSU students will need additional support in order to continue their studies.

In response to the increased tangible and intangible hardships our students now face, the WCSU Foundation is launching the WCSU COVID-19 Call to Action Appeal. We are preparing to support our students in every way possible, and your gift today will help give us the ability to address those needs.


Our students need help now, more than ever.
With some well-timed assistance, our students will not have to choose between life’s necessities or continuing their education. We hope that you will consider making a gift, of any amount, to support WCSU students.
Your gift will make an impact today.
Stay well, stay safe, stay strong and thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
