Our Mission:
The ESC is a safe and supportive environment for historically underrepresented groups and allies while providing cultural and educational programs.
We are a student-run organization within the Associated Students of WWU. We provide several resources and a safe environment where students can work on event programming, do homework, or just hang out. There are many ethnic clubs that assist students in transitioning to Western, developing cultural identity, providing a sense of community, and being active in social justice. The ESC also offers study space, computer access, and resource information. Open to all students.
What is an ESC club?
An ESC club is a cultural/ethnic organization "recognized" by the A.S. of WWU, and meets our mission statement. Clubs set their own agendas on any activities they do, so there is a variety of opportunity for involvement.
How can I take part in activities?
Beside the quarterly calendar of events there are regular club meetings and new events planned. Impromptu noontime gatherings or any-time-of-the-day discussions range from quiet one-on-one talks to large group lively times.
Why get involved?
- To meet new people and have fun.
- To be part of a respectful, safe, sharing community.
- To learn and share knowledge.
- An opportunity for positive social change.
- To develop personal & career skills.
