“Throughout my college career I have been a member of College Democrats; I’ve portrayed Rocky at women’s volleyball matches; I was active with campus ministry; involved in the College of Arts and Sciences Student Council, the American Association of Teachers of French, the Knights of Columbus, and Alpha Mu Gamma. I regularly go to the rec center; I was involved in intramural bowling; and I occasionally go to movies that UUB presents.”
~Joe Wojowski, french & spanish major

Student Life

“There’s nothing to do” is an unacceptable statement at Western!

Four years should be enough to sample all the cultural, educational, entertainment and social activities on campus…be sure not to miss out.
