The College of the Environment and Career Services Center invites all students and alumni to participate in the annual Environmental Career and Internship Fair, Wednesday, Feb. 9 from 1-4 p.m. on Handshake!

Students from Western Washington University (WWU), Whatcom Community College (WCC) and community volunteers will offer free tax assistance in both an in-person and virtual format from Feb. 7 to April 15.

Sponsored by WWU’s Beta Alpha Psi and Accounting Society in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is staffed by students from WWU and other volunteer members of the community. The VITA program helps low- and moderate-income taxpayers electronically prepare their tax returns.

WWU student Nate Jo never saw himself as a potential Rhodes Scholar. In fact, a year ago, he didn’t know what the Rhodes Scholarship was.

First awarded in 1902, the Rhodes Scholarship is the oldest international scholarship program, allowing students from around the world to study at the University of Oxford and covering their costs plus a stipend for two to three years of post-graduate study at the university. The scholarship is awarded to 102 students each year, with 32 spots allotted to students from America.
