Creating a transformative student experience
With rapidly evolving careers, growing mental health concerns, the polarized nature of current discourse, and graduates entering the most diverse workforce in U.S. history, the world is more complex today and the needs of students have changed along with it.
This makes WashU’s emphasis on the student experience and the quality of our students’ journeys critically important.
Led by the Division of Student Affairs, WashU has prioritized key areas that will enable the university to
deliver the most transformative experience to our undergraduate and graduate students. Through significant investments in programs, courses, equitable spaces, services, training, and coaching, WashU will position our students to thrive on campus and after graduation.
When you make a gift to any of the eight WashU student experience funds, you help provide undergraduate and graduate students with resources they need to learn, grow, and flourish.
