The Experience Western program is designed to introduce prospective students of color to resources available at WCU, and promote a supportive and educational experience. The Western Carolina University Admission Office is committed to fostering a globally diverse learning environment for all students. Our mission is to cultivate and encourage dialogue between diverse cultures, sharing in a common society where differences of all cultures, disabilities, gender and religious backgrounds are accepted and promoted. Western is dedicated to the success of our students!

Experience Western is a collaborative effort among the Offices of Admission, Academic Affairs, and Multicultural Affairs to aid in the recruitment of a well-rounded and diverse student body. Experience Western offers students the opportunity to meet a variety of WCU faculty, staff, and students. Students will receive detailed information about undergraduate admission, academics, financial aid and student activities. 

Our Fall 2008 Experience Western event has already happened - and it was a great success!  The schedule for the next Experience Western hasn't been determined yet, so keep checking this web page for the upcoming dates and experience what WCU is all about!
