Welcome to Western Oregon University!
Welcome to Western Oregon University, also commonly referred to as WOU or Western! I am so glad you're here, and I can't wait to show you around this wonderful campus that I call home! Let's get started!What Do the Ambassadors and the PLUS Team Do?
Here at WOU, two of our prominent leadership groups are the PLUS Team (Peer Leaders Understanding Students) and the Ambassadors. The PLUS Team organizes new student week, preview days, and other outreach events, whereas the Ambassadors give tours of our campus to prospective students and their families. In this video, Ellie tells you about her experience working with both groups, and about her overall experiences here at WOU.The Discussion-Based Classroom: A Different Kind of Classroom
Here at WOU, we don't really do the whole lecture hall thing. We pride ourselves in having discussion-based classes, where we don't sit in desks, in rows, taking notes. Let's take a tour of a discussion-based class classroom in the Richard Woodcock Education Center (RWEC). It is a completely different experience than what you would find at a larger university!The Wonderful Werner University Center
The Werner University Center, also referred to as the WUC (pronounced "wook" like "look"), is our central hub on campus here at WOU! There are meeting and conference rooms, study lounges, a plethora of offices, and so much more! Come take a look inside the WUC and see its many resources!
