Dear Campus Community,
Western Washington University plans to test its emergency notification system known as Western Alert at 10:15 a.m. on Thursday, Oct.15 and also conduct a campus earthquake drill.
Western Alert is a group of ways to reach students, faculty and staff with important safety information.
Web browsing, email, online chat and social media, for most of us we engage with these technologies every day for both pleasure and necessity. They engage us with society but expose us to dangers. Sometimes we see those dangers, and recognize fraudsters, and other times we fall prey to criminal operations. Many of us have experienced or know someone who has had credentials, or worse yet their identity stolen. We all know about workstation infections, ransomware attacks, and those annoying extortion calls. Don’t fret, you can fight back!
This year's Fall Family Weekend (October 16 – 18) will include virtual events, activities, and unique offerings for families and students to experience Western together from the comfort of their homes.

Dear Colleagues,
We are full swing into fall and I want to share with you some ways we can continue to support your teaching and learning.
Dear Western Staff, Faculty, and Emeritus Faculty,
In order to further educate and support its community, Western is now offering all students a COVID prevention and well-being course.
This 20-minute online training covers basics of COVID prevention but focuses mainly on how to take care of mental health and wellbeing during a pandemic, and how to navigate college during these new times. This training is an optional resource recommended and available to all current Western students.
The Western Foundation's VikingFunder program has launched a new 30-day campaign to raise $5,000 to buy new plants and trees for a permanent food forest at Western's Outback Farm. Find out more about the initiative or give generously to help the effort at https://www.vikingfunder.com/project/22606.

The Provost Office is accepting student speaker nominations for December Virtual Commencement on December 12, 2020.
Being the student commencement speaker is an opportunity to convey a message of encouragement and congratulations, share common experience and insights, and inspire fellow graduates to carry their WWU education with pride into the world.
