Listening to Students

President Sabah Randhawa typically hosts quarterly opportunities for students to engage in conversations about issues that are important to them. These "Talk with President Sabah" sessions are open to all WWU students and are held in various locations on campus – most often in the Viking Union and over the lunch hour. President Sabah often will bring along another campus administrator to focus on different aspects of the university, such as Sislena Ledbetter, Vice Provost for Student Affairs, Brad Johnson, Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs, etc.

Sessions are primarily back to in-person, but may switch to virtual as necessary. Meeting locations are unfortunately not equipped for hybrid participation. Please see below for details on upcoming sessions.
