Ohio Wesleyan University

Ohio Wesleyan University was established with community support in 1842, when the Rev. Adam Poe, pastor of Delaware’s William Street Church, encouraged the citizens of Delaware to raise funds to purchase a building and establish a university “of the highest order” in central Ohio.

Ohio Wesleyan’s goal is to provide every student with transformational experiences that will prepare them for the causes, careers, and graduate school opportunities they want to pursue.

We do that through close relationships with faculty-mentors—and through a unique academic program called The OWU Connection.

Ohio Wesleyan University is responsible for ensuring that research activities conducted under its auspices do not violate the rights and welfare of human or non-human animal subjects. Investigators conducting research with human or non-human animal subjects must obtain approval from the appropriate body prior to the commencement of any research activities.

Career Connection’s mission is to help all OWU students develop and implement the tools and tenacity to navigate the path from college into the professional world.

Career Connection will challenge and inspire students to explore their passions and values and combine them to create a fulfilling and successful future.

Our vision is that 100% of OWU students are impacted by Career Connection, and because of this impact, are ready to succeed in life after OWU.
