The birthplace of wind engineering. The first MBA program outside of the U.S. The world’s first liver-bowel transplant. Among many other groundbreaking milestones.
We’re problem-solvers who see every challenge as an opportunity—and we lean in.
Today, we’re closing in on cures for HIV and ALS, helping prepare for extreme weather, transforming how food is grown and produced and informing important global conversations on democracy and justice.
All of this while we prepare the next generation of leaders who will shape what comes next.
Western still provides that great student experience you knew when you were here—it’s the glue that binds this community. A sense of belonging but also a sense of purpose.
And that feeling carries through boldly among our 382,000 alumni.
Now it’s time to harness that power for the greater good.
Western has launched the most ambitious fundraising and engagement campaign in its history to fuel the transformation we want to see. Alumni are essential to our work—building connections, ideas, networks and leadership.
We’re raising $1 billion dollars—to shape the future for Canada and the world.
Together, we can meet this moment.
We are all in and I hope you’ll join us.
