Erin Wendover
“I think the biggest thing that ‘changed’ for me after getting involved was being able to understand how the support and encouragement of a group can help someone accomplish whatever they set their mind to,” Erin said.
Erin joined a sorority to fulfill her natural desire to be around other people and ended up learning a lot about herself and the way she communicates, in addition to how her goals and aspirations evolved throughout her time on campus. She believes getting involved is the first step in finding your voice and discovering the impact you want to make in your community.
“Donor support can help provide more opportunities for these leadership experiences as well as provide opportunities through different enhancements of programs and different initiatives that can really connect students all over campus who probably wouldn't have been connected otherwise.”
Students like Erin thrive on campus because they take advantage of opportunities that help personal and professional growth. Through their involvement, students make a difference not just on campus, but in their communities. Help students like Erin continue to develop leadership skills and a stronger community by making a gift to the Office of Student Engagement.
With more funding, we could provide opportunities that are both fun and professionally focused, such as a concert in Waldo Stadium, a Student Development Professional Conference Fund that will cover travel and registration costs for countless students, or a Legacy Mural in the new student Center that will inspire and motivate students to be their best. Your gift will help to provide opportunities and experiences that will enhance the student experience at Western Michigan University.
