Study Abroad Studying abroad is a great way to earn credit, see the world and learn more about yourself. In Norway, Neal combined his majors of Linguistics and Computer Science to break down communication barriers between people and technology. He studied alongside students from nearly 100 countries, and learned that despite language barriers, communication is always possible. “Getting to know students from all over the world inspired me. Hearing their stories and learning about their cultures, I knew we could make a difference.”

Do Good Western is nationally recognized for a commitment to service, a reputation reflected in the passion of students and faculty. In one of her classes, Carmen planned and held a fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation. She and four classmates obtained campus and city permits, arranged for a food truck to be brought to campus, worked to get ingredients donated by the Bellingham Community Food Co-op, and sold sizzling hot pizzas in Red Square. “We served hundreds of hungry, happy Vikings! It was a super fun way to see the college community get together for a good cause.”
