To the WesternU community,
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have had a devastating impact, displacing families, destroying homes, and altering lives in unimaginable ways. Our hearts are with all those affected, including members of our WesternU family who may be navigating these difficult times.
In the face of such hardship, the resilience, determination, and tenacity of our WesternU community shine brighter than ever. I am deeply inspired by how we have come together—supporting one another, adapting, and continuing to uphold our mission to educate, heal, and lead. This unwavering spirit exemplifies what it means to be part of the WesternU family.
Our sense of unity and compassion is more critical now during these challenging times than ever. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Heatherington Foundation for its generous contribution to the WesternU Emergency Student Relief Support Fund, which will directly aid our students impacted by the wildfires. I am equally moved by the outpouring of support from our alumni across the nation, whose dedication to helping their WesternU family exemplifies the bonds we share. Additionally, I want to acknowledge the incredible efforts of our faculty, staff, and students, who are making a tangible difference in countless ways.
As we continue to navigate these challenges, we remain united in our commitment to one another and the communities we serve. Please stay safe, support one another, and take care of yourselves and those around you.

With gratitude and care,
