Inspiring future leaders…
Leadership is about having a vision, empowering others, and making things happen. Whether launching research projects, writing opinion articles, running for office, supporting friends, or presenting at national conferences, leadership will be essential to your development as a confident professional and an empowered citizen.
Eco-conscious campus…
With more than 35 years of environmental leadership under our belt, Western has been dedicated to preserving the environment long before it was the cool thing to do. Sustainable practices across campus, including a student-led initiative to purchase 100% of our power in the form of renewable energy, are why both the Princeton Review and the Sierra Club recently named us one of the “greenest” universities in the nation.
The adventure of learning…
Your education will provide you with many answers, but it will also encourage you to develop questions about the world and your role in it. Follow your passion at Western and graduate feeling inspired to blaze new trails while doing work you love.
