Explore our commitment to supporting a healthier community.
A Network of Difference-Makers
At WCU, many of our students begin their academic journey because they dream of making a difference in their communities — whether this is through patient care, public health advocacy, or healthcare leadership. Our commitment as a university is to support students through volunteer opportunities and amplify their efforts through organizational philanthropic pledges.
