To Our Students:

As president, I’m committed to making your educational experience at Westfield the best it can be. 

To that end, Westfield’s students are supported by a superb team of faculty and administrators working together to help you learn, socialize, explore, and become an even more wise, capable, caring, and well-rounded person, prepared for a lifetime of exciting opportunities.

It is Westfield’s students who truly make our campus climate what it is.  Here, you can feel at home. We look to you to support each other and to let us know what matters to you.  It is that kind of input that has helped us to develop the policies and procedures in this handbook. Observing these guidelines and rules helps the college become a community where mutual respect and the shared values of the academy are paramount.  We are proud that Westfield students are good citizens of our college, our communities, and our world.

Thank you for your continuing confidence in Westfield, and thank you for contributing to the vitality of our campus.  I hope to see you at the many events we have scheduled for you, from Opening Day through Commencement!

All my best wishes for a safe, successful, and satisfying academic year.

Evan Dobelle
