EVENT PROGRAM
WELCOME
DEAR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND GUESTS, Welcome to Central Washington University! We are excited that you are considering CWU, and we want to make sure you have a memorable experience on our beautiful campus during your stay.
Deciding where to go to college is one of the most important decisions you will make, and CWU is here to offer you the support and resources you will need as you consider where to continue your education. Our number-one goal for your visit is to make you feel at home. I encourage you to explore our campus facilities and ask plenty of questions so you can get a well-rounded view of what CWU has to offer. It shouldn’t take long for you to realize why CWU is such a special place. One of the most notable ways we set ourselves apart is our genuine focus on student success and engagement. The CWU faculty and staff believe this is the measure of everything we do, and we never waver from this commitment. We also believe that diversity and equity are at the heart of what we do, and we strive to create an environment of belonging and care for all students. Thank you for your interest in Central Washington University. I hope that as you explore our campus and get to know the people here, you’ll begin to see a Wildcat future for yourself.
Sincerely,
Jim Wohlpart President
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Central Washington University acknowledges the people who have been on this land since time immemorial. The Ellensburg campus is on lands ceded by the Pshwanapum and other bands and tribes of the Yakama Nation in the Treaty of 1855. The Yakama people remain committed stewards of this land, cherishing it and protecting it, as instructed by elders through generations. We are honored and grateful to be on their traditional lands, and give thanks to the legacy of the original people, their lives, and their descendants.
