Welcome to Westfield State University and the Banacos Academic Center!

Prospective students, we welcome you to attend our casual information sessions held on selected Tuesdays and Fridays in both the Fall and Spring semesters.

In the summer, sessions are scheduled based on demand.

Session Highlights

  • Learn about Disability Services and the Learning Disabilities Program
  • Schedule a campus tour
  • Choose from many dining options on campus
