WMU grads talk about their experience

College of Arts and Sciences

  • "My experience at WMU has been life-altering to say the least. Because of the faculty and staff in the department of biological sciences I was able to find my passion and pursue it as a career. The compassion and support I received allowed me to continue despite obstacles related to my health. I will forever be indebted to WMU and try to show the same level of support to others throughout my life and career."

The coursework was of course vital, but assuming this is somewhat standard, the connections and skills I gained from working were instrumental in my finding a good graduate appointment."
  • "I've found the professors in my departments to be very inspiring and I'm so thankful that I've had the chance to learn from them."

My relationship with my major's professors is very strong, and I do not think I could have made these impressions anywhere else."

  • "The SBM Program has been the best experience I could have asked for and why I went to Western Michigan University."

Both individuals taught me a lesson of humanity that transcended the subject matter of the course and demonstrated a depth of character within the WMU faculty that cannot be measured with a ruler or weighted on a scale.
