Love Western!

"Love Western!" is a student-led project for creating an inclusive community and meeting student needs with dignity and respect. All are welcome to get involved!
Mondays from 6-9pm - Jam Nights with Charity Chords
Thursdays from 7-9pm - Coffee House and Community Pantry
You can get involved in one of our three leadership teams.
Send us a message via Instagram and we'll get you in touch with the right person.
Instagram/Social Media Team - assist in the creation of our Instagram account which provides regular updates on our programming, interesting news items related to student life, updates about related programming on campus, and supports for when you're not having the best Western experience.
Coffee House Team - help us create a welcoming space each Thursday night where live music, games, and casual hanging out can spark community, connections, and friendship. Help out with music, food, or general hands-on tasks!
Community Pantry Team - join us as we seek to support fellow students facing food insecurity. We run a satellite food pantry in partnership with the USC's Community Pantry in the UCC. But we also offer unique items that you can't get on campus. Help us raise awareness of food insecurity as well as our project to address it.

Dr. Wagenman is also currently accepting proposals for bi-vocational post-graduate internship placements in London for the 2023-2024 academic year. These internship placements must relate Christian faith and practice to student life and diverse/secular society. These internships are ideally suited for those seeking to apply their academic interests to practice, those seeking a future in campus life, those interested in contextual church planting endeavours, and those seeking opportunities to connect research to community.
