Western Carolina University 125th

STEERING COMMITTEE

Events of the scope of the 125th Anniversary Celebration take place only through the efforts of many individuals within the university and its community — many of them volunteers. The planning and execution of these events is supervised by a steering committee with a passion for the entire region, its history, its culture, as well as its support of and benefit from higher education.
