University Center
Student Engagement Mission Statement
We foster learning, development and leadership experiences to empower students to be curious, passionate and engaged individuals, while cultivating welcoming spaces that encourage a more inclusive, informed and involved community.
The WUC represents the hub of activity on the Western Oregon University campus and is where the 6,000 WOU students circulate, eat, meet and get the full flavor of campus life. The original construction of the WUC was completed in 1960. There have been several revisions and remodels throughout the years. There is a Lactation station within the upgraded single-use All-Gender Restroom. This single-use restroom and Lactation station as well as Multi-stall All-Gender restroom are located on the 1st floor of the WUC next to the Calapooia conference room.
Student Engagement hires many student employees for various functions. Applications are available on Engage via the WOU Portal. Click on the forms section under the Student Engagement portal page for details.
