Wellness at Western
Holistic wellness tools available to Broncos—WellTrack and Uwill—promote self-reflection and allow students to be proactive with their health and well-being.
The Bronco Promise
Free tuition and fees for up to four years for full-time, first-year students from Michigan whose family has an adjusted gross income of $50,000 or less and net assets below $75,000. FAFSA must be completed by July 1.
A place to belong
The new student center is the heart of campus where students can find community and belonging.
As a student, going to class is your 9 to 5 … but Western also fills that 5 to 9 gap. That's really what makes the difference; it's not just having awesome faculty and professors but having awesome student leaders and the Office of Student Engagement and everyone who works to help develop students on their off time.
