Greetings from President Kavalhuna

Hello, Broncos!

Each year at our Multicultural Meet and Greet, Western Michigan University proudly celebrates the history, culture, heritage and contributions of our students.  When we come together to honor the many traditions and diverse experiences of our Broncos, we strengthen our shared sense of belonging.

As a global University, Western is committed to fostering cultural competence and expanding our perspectives—it’s central to who we are.  Embracing the many cultures that shape our campus community deepens our understanding of one another, builds unity and enriches a teaching and learning environment powered by experience-driven education. 

I invite you to join us at the Multicultural Meet and Greet to explore our diversity of cultures, connect with others and find a welcoming space for belonging on campus. These are experiences that unite us and help define who we are as Broncos.

Thank you to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion for leading and sustaining this effort and for helping our campus community members feel seen, supported and valued.

I hope to see you there.

Russ
