On Friday, Nov. 11, we take a national pause on Veterans Day to honor the commitment and sacrifice of those who have served in our armed forces. With their exemplary commitment to service, diverse skills, and experience working in collaborative, goal-driven teams, Western’s veterans enrich our classrooms and our workspaces. To all at Western who have served in our armed forces and their family and friends, thank you for your service and for being a part of the Western community.
Campus events planned for Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week
Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week is an annual program where people come together across the country to draw attention to the problems of hunger and homelessness. Participating groups spend the week holding a series of educational, service, fundraising, and advocacy events.
Hunger and homelessness happens across the country, even at Western. According to a survey of Western students, 4 in 10 students experienced some degree of food insecurity in the last 30 days, while 32.1% of students experienced some degree of housing insecurity.
WWU, along with the WWU Basic Needs program, Off Campus Living and the Western Success Scholars program, invites you to participate in these events!
