Who We Are
We are a student-centered program within the Multicultural Student Services of WWU. We provide several resources and a safe environment where students can work on event programming, do homework, or just hang out with peers. The ESC includes many cultural clubs that assist students in transitioning to Western, developing cultural identity, providing a sense of community, and being active in social justice.
The ESC offers study spaces, free computer access, and tons of resource information for varying topics.
The ESC is open to all students regardless of culture or identity.
Our Mission
The Ethnic Student Center is a community that centers around the voices and experiences of historically underrepresented BIPOC students and allies by providing a social atmosphere and inclusive environment. We engage in identity exploration, cultural awareness, and community building by actively learning about and striving to be anti-colonial and anti-racist in our endeavors.
