  • Cole Hendren, from Banks, Ore., graduated this year with a Psychology degree. When asked about the biggest lesson he learned during his time at WOU, Cole said, "Don’t be so hard on yourself. Life can be stressful, especially when you add in work, school, a social life, and relationships; don’t let your own thoughts add to this stress. All you can do is put your best foot forward in everything you do; there is nothing to gain from being hard on yourself." Congratulations, Cole!

  • Trani Rae Morton, of Chino Hills, Calif., is one of our 2021 graduates. She's a double major in American Sign Language (ASL)/English Interpreting and ASL Studies. Her biggest accomplishment in college was graduating with honors. "I still can’t believe it. I took 18+ units almost every term in order to complete my double major, and I can’t believe I did it with honors. I felt very supported my entire time at WOU," she said. Now that she's finished her undergraduate degree, she plans to pursue a master's degree at WOU. Congratulations, Trani! Read more about her at today.wou.edu. #WOUgrad #HowlAboutIt #ClassOf2021

  • De' Jana Muña, office assistant in the Vice President for Student Affairs office, shares why it was important to get vaccinated: ⁠ ⁠ "After my grandfather got the COVID-19 virus and eventually passed, I chose to get vaccinated to protect myself from getting sick and potentially passing it to someone who cannot recover from it, like my grandmother. I do not regret my choice and urge others to get vaccinated, too, not only to protect themselves but their family, friends, and community as well."⁠ ⁠ "Después de que mi abuelo contrajo el virus COVID-19 y finalmente falleció, decidí vacunarme para protegerme de enfermarme y potencialmente transmitirlo a alguien que no se puede recuperar de él, como mi abuela. No me arrepiento de mi elección e instó a los demás a vacunarse también, no solo para protegerse a sí mismos, sino también a su familia, amigos y comunidad."
