Invest in Student Entrepreneurs and Innovator

All gifts will be matched up to $15,000, thanks to the generosity of David Cole! 

Because of the generosity of our supporters, students in Western’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Program are turning ideas into real opportunities.

Give Day support in past years has helped students gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and a collaborative community where they can explore ideas and develop real ventures. See how E&I student fellow Alex shares how his experiences in the program shaped his journey.


“The E&I program has led me to be more confident and believe in my dream of being an entrepreneur, while helping me through any problem I may come across. It has helped me to see that it really is possible to create something great!”
- Brody, WWU E&I Student

“ Being part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation program has helped me grow as a creative thinker and problem solver. As a student fellow, I’ve had the chance to collaborate, experiment with ideas, and learn skills that go far beyond the classroom.”

-Lizbeth, E&I Student Fellow

Now we’re building on the momentum of the past year.

We are expanding initiatives that support Fellows who mentor and lead within the program, while exploring the development of a shared innovation space for students from across campus to collaborate and turn ideas into impact.

Your Give Day support helps us grow these opportunities and empower the next generation of innovators and changemakers.
