Parents & Families - we are so thrilled your student chose WWU!
The Parents Program fund was created by WWU families to provide much needed support for career services, outreach programs, and events that impact students, alumni, parents, and the greater community. Our goal is to help students with college life from beginning to end, starting with our orientation sessions and finishing with our quarterly networking events and career fairs through the career services center. We build leadership opportunities and community through events such as Fall Family Weekend and Back to Bellingham Alumni and Family Weekend. Gifts to the Parents Program ensure current student and alumni success. Your gift to the Parents Program also helps us keep in touch with WWU families through newsletters, family weekends and other events to help keep parents and families engaged and informed.
Gifts to the Parent’s Fund are an investment in your student and their peers, providing resources for:
WWU’s Counseling Center to help students “choose to flourish” through stress management workshops and facilitated support groups for students from all backgrounds.
An emergency fund to help students in crisis stay in school
Academic advising, tutoring and career coaching to help students choose a major that suits their talents and interests, and help them graduate on-time.
Career preparation activities such as job fairs, graduate school fairs, employer visits and internship connections.
Leadership activities to build the soft skills that are so attractive to employers.
Parent outreach and activities such as Fall Family Weekend to keep you involved and connected. This year will be virtual - see below!
You can also choose to earmark your gift for your child’s major or favorite team, club or program on campus.
Your gift in addition to the many other ways you have invested in your child’s education is truly transformational.
If every family gave just $50 we’d have nearly one million dollars to dedicate to student success! State and tuition dollars do A LOT but they don’t do it all. It’s because of WWU alumni, parents and friends that Western attracts national attention and investment.
The Western Fund
The Western Fund is the University’s general unrestricted fund that the President uses as critical needs arise, and to further the overarching University mission.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Our friendly team of Western student Phonathon Callers will begin dialing on October 12th and will continue calling throughout the month to share more information and ask for your support.
