Go WWU Volleyball!

Way to go! Congrats WWU Women's Soccer

Uzma and I are thankful to WWU community for the contributions each of you make to advance Western’s mission and to make this a place we are so proud to be a part of. Best wishes for the holidays and the New Year!

Congratulations to Satpal Sidhu who was sworn in today as Whatcom County Executive. WWU and I look forward to working with you to advance our Whatcom communities.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on our own commitments to advance our shared humanity. WWU thanks Jesse Moore for serving as the keynote speaker at the MLK Breakfast.

Today, we honor members of our Armed Forces who served our country and we are grateful for their service and sacrifice.

Remembering Congressman John Lewis, an icon of civil rights movement and described as the “conscious of our nation.” John Lewis’ message of hope, love, courage and equality is just as important today as in 1965, and it is our responsibility to move it forward.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the dropping of atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Even as we mourn the horrific loss of life, we should be reminded that embracing the humanity of all people and seeking peaceful coexistence is more important today than ever.

We welcome new and returning students to Western Washington University. We are thrilled that you have decided to make Western your home. While this is an unusual start to an academic year, we are committed to your progress and success. Welcome and best wishes for a great year!

We thank our veterans for their service and commitment to our country. To all at Western who have served in our armed forces, or are family and friends to those who have, thank you for your service, and for being part of the Western community.

To our WWU community and friends, we hope you have a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving break. We are grateful for your commitment, service and support of WWU.

As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, let’s reflect on our commitments to advance our shared humanity & equity and justice in our communities. Thanks to our students for “Awakening the Legacy” event today and to Ijeoma Oluo for serving as keynote speaker.

Today we honor and remember those who sacrificed their lives for our country.

In honor of the 20th Anniversary of 9/11, let’s pause to remember the people who lost their lives and courageous work of first responders who gave of themselves selflessly. Let’s also not forget how we came together to care for and support each other during that difficult time.

Today we pause to recognize the service and sacrifice of our armed forces veterans, and especially our veterans here at Western among our students, staff and faculty. Our nation will forever be in debt for their selfless sacrifice.

While we honor the legacy of Dr. King today, we also need to reflect on the progress we have made on equity and inclusion for all people and communities in our institutions and society and the work we need to do to practice true equality and justice for all.

Thank you @GovInslee for joining students from WWU’s Energy Policy & Politics class this afternoon to discuss climate policy. It was an enriching and inspiring discussion.

We'll see you all Wednesday night!! 😎

We are so proud of our Western Women’s Basketball Team. Incredible performance! Go Viking!
