Happy spring quarter, Western!

The Blue Resource Center (BRC) is excited to welcome you back to campus after a restful break. The sun is shining longer every day and cherry blossoms are beautifully blooming! Our team is committed to celebrating, supporting, and advocating for and with students, centering those who are immigration-impacted, undocumented, DACAmented, and/or from a mixed-status family. We'd love for you to join us this spring!
