The Health and Wellbeing of our Golden Rams is a priority for us and with your help, you will be supporting programs, initiatives, and staffing resources that promote the holistic health and well-being of our students to foster connection and quality health care. We define the well-being of our students in regard to physical, mental, relational, and financial health.
We have joined JED Campus in support of student well-being and mental health. The program is a nationwide initiative of The Jed Foundation (JED) designed to help schools evaluate and strengthen their mental health, substance misuse, and suicide prevention programs and systems to ensure that schools have the strongest possible mental health safety nets.
Leadership and Involvement is a cornerstone of our work in Student Affairs. In the 2021-22 academic year, over 800 students held leadership positions in a student organization. This fund supports our wealth of student leadership initiatives, including our Ram Plan Co-curricular Transcript, which allows students to document their learning and involvement outside of the classroom.
Our Golden Ram Spirit and Traditions are important milestones in a student's time here at WCU. Donations support programs and initiatives that infuse spirit and fun into campus life and create a greater sense of pride and connection to the university. Some of our favorite signature events include Homecoming, Family Weekend, and Ramboree. This fund also supports our Rammy mascot program with training, equipment purchases and maintenance to keep our Rammy in the best spotlight possible.
