🐾 Special guest alert! 🐾

Today at the Involvement Fair in the SURC, we were excited to welcome a very special visitor to the CWU SWAP table, Wellington Wildcat! 🐾
Wellington shared his purpose on a SWAP hand (and yes… it’s food 😄).
If you’re interested in civic engagement, leadership, and purpose-driven action, we’d love to connect with you. Reach out and let us know: What’s your purpose?

TOMORROW!!!!

As many of you know, we’re hosting a mentorship session for students to help them connect with professionals and learn how to start meaningful mentor relationships. We are presenting at CWU SOURCE tomorrow at 11 am in SURC 135.

Many of you attended last year, but we have expanded on the mentorship program. The mentorship session benefits everyone, students, faculty, administrators, and community members/partners.

There will be a 10-15 minute student presentation followed by the speed mentoring activity. Again, we’d love for you to participate in our interactive speed mentoring activity, where students, faculty, administrators, and community members will participate in short conversations with professionals and students such as yourself.

Your role is simple—share insights about your career path, answer student questions, and offer advice based on your experiences and based on the mentorship cards that will be provided.

It’s a low-commitment but high-impact way to support students, faculty, administrators, and fellow community members as we all navigate our professional journeys and build life-long partnerships.

We’d really appreciate your participation because success is not built upon an empty room. Every voice makes an impact.

Please invite others to join as well.

Happy Friday!!

I’m sorry for the short notice, but I wanted to let you know that there is a fun event tomorrow for Dylan, CWU SWAP President. There are still some available slots. If any of you are interested in forming a team, just follow the QR code on the flyer.

It’s called Dash for Dylan and it’s a fun race around the county. There are prizes, and Dylan himself will be stationed at Roslyn Theatre handing out clues, freshly popped theatre popcorn, and free movie tickets.

Grab your crew and embark on a Dash for Dylan, an epic, Amazing Race-style scavenger hunt across Kittitas County. Solve clues, compete in challenges, and race to the finish – all while raising funds to support Dylan’s fight against Leukemia.

Let me know if you have any questions and please share this with anyone else you may know that would be interested in a fun Saturday event.

Also, if you can’t participate, please consider donating to Dylan’s Leukemia fund instead.

Thank you for everything you do to support Dylan’s journey. 😊
