Men of Color
The Men of Color student organization is focused on creating a space and community on campus where WSU students who identify as men of color can gather, discuss issues related to academic success and career attainment, engage in meaningful activities, tap into important resources on and off-campus, and gain lasting friendships.
Parent Engagement
Parents and family are a critical component to student success. We will explore and implement strategies to better connect parents with higher education as partners. Parent Engagement provides open opportunities for parents to participate in advisory and planning committees.
