WCIU’s goal in selling properties is to focus our efforts more directly on our mission of providing distance education to enhance the effectiveness of scholar-practitioners working to develop transformational solutions to roots of human problems. We have worked closely with our board of directors to identify the best path to complete this goal. We recognize that this process will cause many questions to arise. Please see a list of FAQ’s below. If you have a question or concern not addressed below, please contact WCIU housing specialist Sean Curran at 626-398-2428 or via email at sean.curran@wciu.edu.
