Help Tell the Story

The Western Carolina University brand platform recognizes the unique potential within every student to achieve greatness through ambition, hard work, and the willingness to push through obstacles, even those that can seem insurmountable.

We encourage our faculty, staff, students, alumni and other stakeholders to help us tell the story about how and why they Live Western. When we tell Live Western stories, they are stories of aspiration, innovation, leadership and tenacity. They demonstrate a strength of purpose that drives us individually and collectively.
