Hello I'm Rex Fuller, president of Western Oregon University. And I'm excited 

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:08.000
to be part of this institution as we enter a new millennium and lead Western 

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
into its new frontier. Each day as I stroll through campus I'm stunned by the setting 

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.000
of the natural beauty that surrounds us.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.000
The Pacific Northwest is truly a wonderful place to live, learn, and play. It means our students can enjoy 

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.000
the scenic coastal mountains, the beauty of the Willamette Valley, it's rivers, it's picturesque valleys, and great cities like Portland.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.000
While pursuing an affordable high quality education.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.000
The city of Monmouth and surrounding communities have a long standing tradition of supporting campus events and welcoming our students.

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Alumni, friends and relatives, and community members, enjoy annual events such as the holiday event and tree lighting ceremony, 

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
the homecoming football game, and Shakespeare in the park.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.000
When we talk about Western being a small but caring community. We mean it. Our number one priority is you.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.000
We want to see you walk across the stage and receive a diploma. 

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:60.000
We have more than fifty undergraduate degrees to choose from including business, education, 

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.000
exercise science, and visual communication design.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.000
Our reputation as a teachers' college holds true. In our dedication to diversity and 

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.000
sustainability with one of the worlds greenest residence halls continues.

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.000
There's a lot of universities to choose from, that's why it's important that you visit us 

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.000
and see if WOU is right for you. Not only does Western offer the 

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.000
tuition promise but we have the resources and faculty to help you succeed.
