United Way Campaign
Western Michigan University values its longstanding partnership with the United Way, and once again this year, we are proud to collaborate on an effort that strengthens our community and ensures our neighbors have the resources they need. When we come together as a campus community to support the United Way, our collective efforts far outweigh what any of us could accomplish alone.
