Multicultural Navigation Specialists

We're on this journey together.

Multicultural navigation specialists provide direct support to students from historically marginalized communities, including asset-based coaching and connections to relevant student groups, support and programming that create belonging.

While this support is available to all undergraduate students, the navigator network will initially focus on those who are first-generation college students, Pell-eligible and from historically marginalized communities.

Through various programs and events, navigation specialists provide support in:

  • Academic monitoring/support
  • Employment and internship exploration 
  • Events and programs that promote cultural awareness
  • Mentoring
  • Networking opportunities
  • Student organization support

Tailored support

Western has extensive student support resources, but for many Broncos, knowing where to begin can be overwhelming. Supported by the Empowering Futures Gift, the Navigator Program includes a network of professionals to provide proactive, individualized support across your academic and well-being needs.
