Western Bridge: Slack Community

Feeling Lost as a Student?
You’re not alone. As a WWU marketing student, preparing for life after college can be overwhelming. You want real advice and connections with alumni and other marketing students who’ve been in your shoes—but there’s no easy way to connect without faculty involvement. This leaves you feeling lost, anxious, and unsupported.
Want to Give Back as an Alumni?
You’re ready to help the next generation of Vikings and reconnect with your alma mater. But reaching out to current students is tough with outdated systems and faculty barriers make it nearly impossible. The result? Frustration, impatience, and missed opportunities to make a difference.
