A Message from President Peters

Dear Community,

We officially kicked off the fall term on September 29, and the energy on campus was truly palpable. It was wonderful to welcome our students back and see our community so engaged and vibrant. Our Destination Western program was a great success again this year, equipping our new students to navigate this exciting chapter of their lives.

Looking ahead, we have some fantastic events this month. Join us for the Athletic Hall of Fame on October 17 and Homecoming on October 18, featuring a student leadership reunion, an alumni softball game, an alumni tailgate, and our football game at 1 PM.

Don鈥檛 miss our annual Hoop & Howl on October 21, where you can support our men’s and women’s basketball teams. Doors open at 7:30 PM, and we鈥檒l have a three-point and slam dunk contest, crowd participation opportunities, giveaways, and free pizza for the first 100 attendees!

Let鈥檚 make this month a memorable one.听

We. Are. Wolves.

Jesse Peters, President
