Nick Talamantez

“There is so much to see and do on and off campus,” Nick said. “I wish that I could stay longer just to explore all of those other avenues.”

Through his involvement on campus with student organizations, Nick has grown both personally and professionally. He knows that there are many skills to be learned or sharpened outside of the classroom and encourages his peers to ask themselves, “In what ways do I want to grow?” and then hit the ground running.

“My involvement on campus has helped me gained skills my classes don't focus on. When it comes to student organizations on campus, alumni are very important. They are what help maintain the organization as it grows into the next generation. Donations help thriving organizations put on bigger events for a whole new audience.”

Students like Nick thrive on campus because they take advantage of opportunities that help personal and professional growth. Through their involvement, students make a difference not just on campus, but in their communities. Help students like Nick continue to develop leadership skills and a stronger community by making a gift to the Office of Student Engagement.

With more funding, we could provide opportunities that are both fun and professionally focused, such as a concert in Waldo Stadium, a Student Development Professional Conference Fund that will cover travel and registration costs for countless students, or a Legacy Mural in the new student Center that will inspire and motivate students to be their best. Your gift will help to provide opportunities and experiences that will enhance the student experience at Western Michigan University.
