Learn and grow at WMU
At Western, you'll have the opportunity to make lifelong friendships, develop important personal and professional skills, and build your sense of purpose. We encourage Broncos to engage with one another, empower themselves and others, and use their experiences to create the life they want to live.
With hundreds of registered student organizations and thousands of student-centered events annually—many of which will be celebrated at our WMU Student Center—our Office of Student Engagement empowers you to connect, share your passions and talents with others, and tap into your leadership potential.
Aside from focusing on academics, I feel like it's super important to have friends to go to or have something to turn to when you're having a bad day or just need a mental health day or break. Spending time out on the water, there's no better fresh air break for your mental health.
