WMAA Grants Committee Updates

Western is committed to having a superb sport and education experience. The purpose of the Western Mustangs Athletic Alumni (WMAA) Grants Committee is designed to help facilitate a continued connection between sport Western and its endeared alumni.

For many present and post-Western athletes, sport is a way of life. The bond one creates with your fellow teammates and coaches during battle for the ultimate championship is a unique experience rarely beheld in society. This experience, the friendships created, and life lessons carried through sport transcend beyond the game.

We are here to help your alumni connect and it is a lot easier than you think. Click here for more information about the potential grant for your Western Mustangs Alumni events. Please reach out to us at wmaa@uwo.ca to inquire about funding for your athletic alumni event or if you are interested in learning more about the Grants Committee and ways to get involved with the WMAA.

Just like your coaches and teammates, we are here to help make your days after Western just as enjoyable. We leave you with this poem by Bill Clennan (Canadian Motivational Speaker) to reflect on your glory days of comepting as a Western Mustang!

The contest lasts for moments
Though the training's taken years,
It wasn't the winning alone that
Was worth the work and the tears
The applause will be forgotten
The prize will be misplaced
But the long hard hours of practice
Will never be a waste
For in trying to win
You build a skill You learn that winning
Depends on will
You never grow by how much you win
You only grow by how much you put in
So any new challenge
You've just begun
Put forth your best
And you've already won.

Bill Clennan, Canadian Motivational Speaker
