\"\"As spring term begins and spring arrives, I am excited for what the warmer weather brings, such as more outdoor games and events, cook-outs, and the vibrancy of the beautiful foliage surrounding our campus. Spring also means that commencement is drawing nearer, and I look forward to celebrating this incredible milestone with our graduates who have worked so hard.\u00a0<\/em><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

I am also reminded of the power a university has in bringing people together. Western is proud to have nearly 50% of our student body as first-generation students with nearly 40% identifying as persons of color. Our diverse student body and community make Western a unique place to study and work. I encourage everyone, especially our alumni, to share their experiences at Western with prospective students and encourage them to visit campus and consider us for their educational journey. We are a community dedicated to student success, and even after graduation, our alumni are always part of the family. Let\u2019s all keep telling the story that is Western!<\/span><\/em><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

We. Are. Wolves!<\/span><\/em><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n
