Going above so students can go beyond
Now more than ever, we must meet students where they are and provide them the support they need to pursue every opportunity, realize their full potential, and shape our world. To improve student access and success, Washington University has launched Make Way: Our Student Initiative.
Sustaining student support in the long term
“Changing the world begins with empowering our students. This is why, since I became WashU’s 15th chancellor nearly five years ago, we have made a series of institutional commitments to them.”
