“Western is more than a school to me – it’s a community that shaped my passion for public service. The supportive faculty and close-knit alumni network gave me the confidence to pursue my passion in local government. Volunteering with the Local Government Alumni Society lets me stay engaged with the university and community I love. I’m proud to be part of a legacy that continues to inspire future leaders.”
