Center for Canadian-American Studies

Students at Western have spoken – they want to bring WWU to Canada and Canada to WWU by engaging in research and experiential fieldtrips across the border. With the 49th parallel mere minutes away, the Center for Canadian-American Studies is committed to providing such opportunities for each and every one of our students.

This Give Day, your donations will directly support student scholarships and cross-border learning activities that highlight the transboundary nature of the Canada - U.S. relationship. Your generosity will allow us to provide students with more international opportunities that will broaden their horizons and increase knowledge of the world around them and their place within it.

2023-2024 Highlight:
