Widener competes in a state-of-the-art, 25-
meter by 25-yard pool with 10 lanes at Schwartz
Center.
The pool in 2008 received a major facelift with
the walls and ceiling painted, our new logo paint-
ed twice, new lane lines, new tile walls, regrout-
ing, filtering and a new air handler. New starting
blocks, touch pads and a public address system

A great place to see a meet, Schwartz Center
serves as a great home advantage and several times
has hosted the Middle Atlantic Conference Cham-
pionships.
Schwartz Center also serves as home for our
men’s basketball, women’s basketball and volley-
ball squads. The facility also is home to our Well-
ness Center, opened in 2006, and our field house.

WIDENER UNIVERSITY
Widener University takes pride in develop-ing leaders. Founded in 1821, Widener has grown through 190 years of leadership. The univer-sity has graduated great leaders throughout its history—alumni who have served as generals, members of Congress, judges, CEOs, engineers, authors, and teachers. In fact, more than 1,000 of our alumni hold the title of president or CEO, and more than 100 have served as judges. Widener continues to turn out graduates who enter their chosen fields and not only suc-ceed, but are also quickly recognized as standouts who show the rare skills needed to reshape their companies, industries, and communities. How does Widener do this? By being an innovative metropolitan university that connects curricula to societal issues through civic engage-

This policy is enforced under various federal and state laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Further, in compliance with state and federal laws, Widener University will provide the following information upon request: (a) copies of documents pertinent to the university’s accreditations, approvals, or licensing by external agencies or governmental bodies; (b) reports on crime statistics and information on safety policies and procedures; and (c) information regarding gender equity relative to intercollegiate athletic programs—Contact: Senior Vice President for University Advancement, Widener University, One University Place, Chester, PA 19013, 610-499-4123.

Box 7474, Wilmington, DE 19803, 302-477-2177.Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on gender in educational programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Such programs include recruitment, admissions, financial aid, scholarships, athletics, course offerings and access, hiring and retention, and benefits and leave. Title IX also protects students and employees from unlawful sexual harassment (including sexual violence) in university programs and activities. In compliance with Title IX, the university prohibits discrimination and harassment based on sex in employment, as well as in all programs and activities. The university’s Title IX coordinator monitors compliance with Title IX and its accompanying regulations. Individuals with questions or concerns about Title IX or those who wish to file a complaint of noncompliance may contact the university’s Title IX coordinator.
