Admission recruitment partner spotlight
The Office of Admissions would like to recognize Nathan Nguyen, director of the WMU Office of LBGT Student Services, as an excellent partner in our campus recruitment efforts. Mr. Nguyen brought student and RSO connections to admissions for an e-newsletter that was sent out to prospective students. He has been an active collaborator and supporter as we work to highlight Western’s inclusive communities and spaces in all that we do. The office is grateful for Nathan’s partnership and advocacy for our campus and our students.
