Our campus is closed to the general public with the following exceptions:
The Admissions Office at UWC-USA offers tours for prospective families and students. You may sign up here to join a tour.
We welcome UWC alumni to return to Montezuma to re-engage with the UWC-USA community. Please check with Reed Baumgarten ’89, Alumni Engagement Officer, at [email protected] at least one week in advance of your visit.
Guests may visit the Dwan Light Sanctuary by first stopping at the Welcome Center where campus security officers will provide directions and an access key. Because the prisms are most impressive during full sunlight, optimal times to visit are late morning to early afternoon. There is no charge, although donations to maintain the Sanctuary are accepted at the Welcome Center.
With the exception of the Dwan Light Sanctuary (which is open daily from sunrise to sunset), the campus is closed to the general public except for special, announced events.
Some of students’ favorite spaces on campus are those dedicated to enrichment activities such as personal reflection, physical wellness, working in nature, and simply enjoying meals with friends.
