Western New England University

Students from the Western New England University (WNE) College of Engineering were among 30 volunteers who participated in the Connecticut Chapter of Women in Aviation's (WIA) 2021 International Girls in Aviation Day (GAID) on September 25. The in-person event, held at the Brainerd Airport, included activities inside and outside the hangars to introduce girls aged 6-17 to the aviation industry and the myriad of STEM related careers.

Western New England University held its 43rd Annual Cocurricular Award Ceremony on April 29 recognizing those students who have distinguished themselves within the area of cocurricular involvement.

During the summer of 2016 Adrian Barber and a group of other young adults will travel to San Francisco, CA where their journey will begin, and run for 49 days across the country to New York City. Barber and his fellow runners hope to spark awareness across the country, and raise money for the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults.

Four Western New England University students were recognized for their outstanding efforts and honored with the Big E "Host of the Day" award.
