A university
distinguishes itself from its peers through dedicated faculty,
outstanding students and a committed staff. With common goals and
objectives, these three groups form a partnership to create a learning
environment rich in tradition and scholarly pursuits.
Today, private
support plays an increasingly important role in the success of all
universities. Members of the President’s Club - the alumni, parents,
friends and businesses that make annual gifts in support of WWU
students and faculty – are the fourth partner that provides the
resources for faculty and students to excel – both inside and outside
the classroom. |

For more than 15 years, the President’s Club has been Western Washington
University’s single largest source of continuous private support. Gifts
from President's Club members encourage diverse thought, dynamic
interaction and creativity among faculty and students. These private
funds create opportunities for our students and faculty that allow them
to reach beyond the status quo and explore new ideas and experiences.
Gifts from
President’s Club members support projects campus wide: annual scholarship
dollars to benefit students studying a particular discipline; program
support for an academic department; funds for Viking Athletics to help
student-athletes excel in their sport and in the classroom; unrestricted
support for the Campus Enrichment Fund which funds immediate needs and
encourages innovation among faculty, staff and students; or funding for
the library, a student club or the arts. Whatever the choice,
President’s Club members make a significant and lasting impression at
Western.
You are invited to join the hundreds of members whose generosity is vital
to the continued success of
Western
Washington University. President Karen Morse and the WWU Foundation
staff would be pleased to welcome you into the President’s Club and
encourage your active participation in the life of
Western
Washington
University.
