“WIMSE is a very helpful learning community. They have different programs to help you in your classes and tutors to help you understand your homework. WIMSE has really benefited me in many ways and I recommend it to everyone.”
~Adeola (LAS General Curriculum)

“. . . truly, WIMSE has helped me my freshman year in many aspects. I feel better acquainted to the campus because of the Orientation the first few days I was here. WIMSE has also helped me find my bearings socially and academically. Because I am in WIMSE, I have met girls with similar interests and goals and probably women that I will be friends with my entire life. The tutoring hours that WIMSE provides are convenient for me, and because of my girl friends here, I have ‘study buddies’ who understand a lot of what I'm doing and can help me out. I really am glad about the decision I made to be in WIMSE--I feel like it helped me adjust and that I am part of something positive.”
~ Kat (General Engineering)

“WIMSE provided a close community that made transferring from a small school to the University easier. There is always someone around who understands a problem you're having, whether it's chemistry, midterms, or what to do on a Saturday night. I've found friends for life.”
~Sarah (Neuroscience)
