UWA is closed for Christmas and New Year's Holidays, but some operations will run on an abbreviated remote schedule. For assistance, contact the listed offices. Offices reopen Jan. 7, 2025.

I chose UWA because it offered me the opportunity to be involved in many different areas of student life, while still being able to receive a great education. I wanted to be a part of the close-knit environment between students and their professors.
