Western Oregon University’s Newsletter: October 1, 2024<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

The campus came alive yesterday as the fall semester kicked off. Students, both new and returning, filled the grounds with excitement. This vibrant energy was heightened by the successful Destination Western orientation program that concluded last week, with nearly 150 participants. This initiative plays a crucial role in welcoming many new students and helping them connect with campus life. As the new term begins, there\u2019s a shared sense of anticipation for the experiences and growth opportunities that lie ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wou.edu\/marcom\/files\/2024\/10\/IMG_5693.jpg” alt=”WOU in parades” title_text=”Screenshot” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”29px||30px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Georgia|800|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#db0a29″ header_2_font_size=”15px” custom_margin=”||-3px|||” custom_padding=”|3%|0px|3%|false|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Dear Community:\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

The air is buzzing with excitement as we kicked off the fall term yesterday. It\u2019s wonderful to see students back on campus, filling it with energy and enthusiasm.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, I had the pleasure of witnessing the excitement of the Destination Western program and meeting students (and their families\/friends) as they moved into the residence halls. This marks a new chapter in the lives of our newest Wolves, and I am thrilled to welcome them to our community. And it’s always great to see all the returning wolves too!<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking of exciting events, I had a fantastic time last week at the launch of our first WOU beer, Wolf Tracks Ale at Parallel 45 Brewing. It was great to see everyone come together to celebrate this new brew, and I\u2019m proud that a portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting our football program. We are grateful for this partnership with Parallel 45 Brewing. Stop by and give it a try.<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, I am filled with anticipation for this academic year. Our new Student Success Center is set to be completed by the end of the year. This state-of-the-art facility will house our student services in one central location, making it easier than ever for our students to access the support they need to thrive.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s embrace this exciting time together. We have so much to look forward to!<\/em><\/p>\n

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