The Western Oregon University Magazine

Check out the fall issue of the magazine online, at www.wou.edu/magazine.

Many colleges and universities are focusing on energy conservation and efficiency, sustainable practices and waste reduction. At Western, we’re taking steps to minimize our own environmental "footprint" as well. In addition to our increased focus on sustainability, today’s challenging economic climate made our choice to take the WOU Magazine online seem timely. The savings in publication costs and resources enables us to strengthen our support for students programs and scholarships. Educating our students to be successful nurses, scientists, policy makers, artists, teachers and business leaders is our first priority.

We hope you too are excited for this new opportunity. Our online magazine comes with some exciting options: unlimited space for alumni, faculty and student stories, video and direct links to relevant Web sites…the possibilities are endless. Let us know what you think.
