WWU launches largest fundraising campaign in college’s history

Western Washington University publicly launched the largest fundraising campaign in the history of the university on Friday, Oct. 24, one that school officials say will help offer students scholarships, improve student learning and make up for a dip in state funding.

The Western Stands for Washington campaign already has privately raised over two-thirds of its $60 million goal through the Western Washington University Foundation. On Friday the campaign went public in a campus event open to students, faculty and donors.
