You don鈥檛 have to be a seasoned spokesperson to successfully advocate for WCU. Legislators
are people just like you and with our Advocacy 101 Guide, you鈥檒l have a great way
to get started speaking with your local legislators whether it鈥檚 in-person, by email
or on the phone.
Each year Western Carolina leadership sits down and sets our legislative priorities
for that session with input from the Chancellor鈥檚 Leadership Council, Faculty and
Staff Senate, Provost Council, and the Chancellors Executive Council. Knowing these
priorities allows us to be one unified voice speaking for needs of WCU.
Stay informed on the latest state and federal legislative developments affecting
