Classes and Work During the Closure

Students
All offices and in-person activities are canceled for the day. In-person classes are canceled but may be held remotely at the discretion of faculty. Faculty will communicate directly, so please check your email and course site for updates. 

Classes that are already scheduled to be fully remote will continue as usual unless otherwise communicated by your instructor. 

Staff
Staff who are able to work remotely should coordinate with supervisors as appropriate. Staff whose work requires on-campus presence should follow supervisor guidance. 

Staying Informed

The University’s Inclement Weather Policy is available on the WNE website via the homepage banner. We will communicate any changes or reopening details through WNE Alert, email, and the University website.

Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility as we work to keep our community safe during the storm.

Internships & Experience

Build a Resume that Rocks

Nothing makes a résumé shine like professional experience. From the Metropolitan Opera to the American Red Cross, PricewaterhouseCoopers to the Massachusetts State Police Lab, Western New England connects our students to internships that help them explore career paths, apply classroom theory, and above all, make vital professional connections to launch their careers.

Western New England University's network exceeds 1,000 businesses and organizations. Other experiential learning opportunities include student teaching for Education majors and Senior Design projects for Engineering Students. These experiences allow students to apply the skills they've learned in the classroom in a professional setting and take a test drive of their future career. Working side by side with future colleagues gives students valuable insights and answers to questions not found in a textbook.

Internship Features and Requirements

  • Compensated and non-compensated work-for-credit (3 credits) programs are available to juniors or seniors in a variety of majors.
  • Participating students must have a GPA of 2.5 or better.
  • 120 hours per semester is required.

Consult your advisor about unique opportunities or requirements at your College.
