Impactful Experiences
Powered By You
Outside the classroom, Catamounts gain an edge.
Western students who study abroad immerse themselves in new cultural and societal experiences. From Australia’s Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology to Germany’s Ludwigsburg University of Education, our students study abroad in more than 60 countries. On campus, undergraduates work alongside faculty, conducting real-world scientific research to jump-start their professional careers. In doing so, they develop critical-thinking and technical skills while building relationships with faculty. Through the generosity of donors like you, we’re able to provide — and enhance — these experiences so that Catamounts can make an impact long after they graduate.

FILL THE WESTERN SKY
WCU is poised to become a national model for student learning and engagement as a premier regional comprehensive public institution, while continuing to closely embrace the region in which it is deeply rooted. The Catamount family has demonstrated a willingness to explore, a persistence when meeting challenges and a desire to push the boundaries for what is possible. The next steps depend upon the possibilities that private philanthropy and corporate gifts can provide to help the university move those boundaries farther. An investment in WCU is an investment in education, in the economy and in a culture that is shaping the world one student at a time.
