Impact Stories


Student, Donor, and Foundation Stories

Each year, Central Washington University seeks opportunities to enhance the educational experience for its students, opportunities for its faculty and staff, and its presence in the global marketplace. Donors help the university relieve financial burden of students, and support vital student-life activities that make CWU extraordinary.

Student and Donor Impact

Gifts large and small play an important role at the CWU. Gifts contribute to the accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, and academic programs, and every gift has a story. CWU is honored to feature student and donor accounts from our CWU family of donors. You can find these stories on CWU News, the Office of Advancement newsletter Central Connections and the UA Impact Report, as well as the Crimson & Black magazine.
