“I’ve grown accustomed to the 'Western-way-of-life.' I love the fact that there is so much to do at Western. I have been provided with so many opportunities to get to know people, stay active, have fun and get a beneficial education. I enjoy being part of Tradicion because I love to dance Salsa, Merengue and other modern Latin dances. ”

~Kevin Caples, Hospitality & Restaurant Management

Student Life

“There’s nothing to do” - not true!

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