Do you have ideas for how to improve campus life at WFU? We are looking for student leaders to serve as a sounding board for the Vice President of Campus Life, Dr. Penny Rue, through monthly group meetings with Dr.Rue and leadership across the division. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with campus leadership, provide your student perspective and experiences, learn about campus life topics such as mental health and  residential life, as well as to share resources and information learned at these meetings with the larger student body.
