WWU Family Connection Newsletter
News for Families of Western Students
WWU Family Connection is a monthly e-newsletter sent to all families of current students and is produced by Western's Office of Communications and New Student Services/Family Outreach.
In August, we sent a special edition to new WWU families. We'll send the newsletter to all families beginning in September.
If you aren't receiving your copy and would like to get on the list, update your contact information.
