We are glad you're here, Broncos!

Hey, Broncos.
Welcome back to campus. And to those who are new to Western, we’re glad you’re here.
I’m excited for this new spring semester. We can build on the progress we’ve made, and you can keep moving forward in your studies and exploring all the ways you can grow at WMU. All of us are here to help you. Just reach out to me anytime. Tell me how you are doing.
I hope you take part in learning through experience-driven education, like internships, research and other hands-on projects. You can find these in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Grand Rapids and beyond. They help you apply what you’re learning and show the world the talent of our Broncos.
When you see me at the student center, in a classroom, at an athletic event or anywhere else on campus, say hello. If you have celebrations, thoughts or concerns to share, please send me an email. You can also stay connected by following me on Instagram and LinkedIn.
Have a great semester!
Go Broncos!
