It may be a rainy day, but we won’t let that rain on our parade ☔️🎓
Can you believe Commencement was almost two weeks ago already? Our camera roll still says otherwise. Congratulations again to the Class of 2026!

Thank you for the pictures!

As the spring semester officially comes to a close, so does Dean Bacon’s final full semester here at the college .💜

While we’re lucky to have her through June, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate this milestone and everything she has meant to our community. Last week, we honored her with a drop-in party filled with good food, great conversations, shared memories, and so many well-deserved hugs. This past weekend, she also closed out her final commencement ceremony as dean.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to celebrate her, including community members, staff, faculty, students, alumni, and so many more. The turnout was a true reflection of the impact she has had on all of us.

If you have a favorite memory with Dean Bacon or a well wish for her next chapter, share it in the comments below!

Being a student here at West Chester means having a voice. And with that voice, students have the power to create real fundamental change.

Art is political! It provides a voice for those who may not have their own yet, and that kind of art is something our Golden Rams aren’t afraid to shy away from.

Congratulations to all the artists, your art is more than just important, but powerful💜

Final days to see the BFA exhibition are here; catch it before it leaves on May 8.

Not one, but two students taking their skills global.
Matthew Grapin and Kiernan Bauman are turning their passion for Japanese language into real-world impact, from mastering the highest level of the JLPT to earning spots in the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme.

Proof that what starts in the classroom can take you anywhere.
Congratulations; we're so proud of you 🎉
