Dear Friends of Woodring,
We are so thankful to have such incredible support and contributions from members of the Woodring community like yourself. We hope you can join us in continuing to sustain the outstanding and impactful work of the staff, faculty, and students in our college.
This year, we are excited to share news about the incredible generosity of Janis (Olson) Peterson, class of '51, and Wes Peterson, class of '51. The Petersons have graciously committed to matching the first $12,000 in donations given to Woodring this year during Give Day! This means that this year you'll have the opportunity to double the impact of your gift through the Peterson commitment!
Learn more about the story of the Peterson's commitment to the Woodring College of Education.

As you consider where you'd like to offer your support this year,
I'd like to suggest the Nursing program, Human Services program or the Dean's Excellence Fund.
Nursing Program
Western's unique program is designed for Registered Nurses (RNs) seeking to advance their careers with either a bachelor's or master's degree in nursing.
The RN-to-BSN program supports graduates of local community and technical college nursing programs to earn their bachelor's degree in nursing (BSN).
The new Master of Science in Nursing program offers two pathways for nurses to advance their careers as educators and leaders.
Through rigorous coursework, immersive practice experiences, and opportunities for community engagement, graduates are well-prepared to address the evolving challenges and opportunities that shape modern nursing practice.
Please help us to support students like Jessica!
Human Services
The Human Services major is for students with a strong commitment to social and economic justice, human dignity, self-determination, and the desire to support change through direct and indirect service delivery. Human Services graduates have had and continue to have a tremendous impact on the schools, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies throughout the region and the state.
Our Human Services program offers immense value, both to students and the communities they serve after graduation. In the 2024-25 academic year, we began featuring two new Master's programs for Nursing students!
The Dean's Excellence Fund
The Dean's Excellence Fund provides support for a variety of important programs for the college. Your donation could provide funding for students who are in need of emergency financial funding, aid us in bringing in featured and well-known speakers, or sponsor scholarships to support other departmental and student activities.
Donate to the Dean's Excellence Fund
On behalf of everyone here at the Woodring College of Education, I want to express our gratitude for your ongoing support of our students and faculty during this year's Give Day. Your ongoing generosity helps to provide opportunities and resources that enable our students to reach and exceed their academic and professional goals.
Sincerely,
Kevin
