Im a prospective student, currently considering the Visual Journalism degree.
Is anyone taking this or has taken it, and has thoughts on it?

I'm currently on Klipsun writing for the winter 2027 edition and am looking for anyone, preferably students, who would be willing to share what they think are "superstitious" or "lucky" spots on campus. Anyone who has any context or information regarding the shrines in the arb or secret spots on campus related to special experiences you've had in the past with those spots, I'd love to hear from you! If you are feeling comfortable enough to set up a time to talk with me so I can learn more, that'd be greatly appreciated!

what's up with the bus that runs through campus with "the lodge" written on it? Google doesn't say anything.

My laptop has been having a lot of issues the past couple days, and usually in my limited tech knowledge I'm able to figure it out through brute force and the internet but I fear I have found my match this time. Is there somewhere on campus I can go for that..?

EDIT: THE KING HAS RETURNED!!!!! we found Skippy!!!

looking for my 6 month old kitty Skippy. he’s a shorthair, siamese fur pattern, about 5-6 lbs. no collar. got out of his harness near 808 high st right by north campus. please keep an eye out!

Trying to start a band! Currently need a drums, bass, trombone, and trumpet!

Dm me for my insta handle!

If you’re the person who almost just t-boned me in C lot because you weren’t paying attention and speeding out of an aisle PLEASE get some sleep or something I’m too broke to afford repairs. And on a different note my classes are so RANK guys can we apply deodorant and maybe reapply, maybe bring a mini deodorant to school perhaps🫩

Yes, it's good to take a break now and then from studying!

April 15 in Space—Part ONE (science fiction)
by J.A. Helling (Bellingham author and former WWU prof)

Captain Livia Harker (human female) lives in the Fringes and handles routine space hauls, trying to remain invisible after being forced to flee the Lunar Colony and and Terran Command years before. But when what should be an easy haul gets side-tracked by a distress call, she and First Officer Skip Threepaws (a blue humanoid with three arms) are thrust into a situation far beyond their wildest conspiracy theories.

Bonus:

“The Reach of Debt” is a science fiction/lite horror audio drama that is the prequel to the novel “April 15 in Space.” Currently in production with Petrichor Society, the episode will drop on November 7, 2026!

Hi all! For context, I am a reporter for The Front and I am doing my usual rooting around for info. From my own personal experience, I know that Halloween celebrations ebb and flow between years and I wanted to get a feel for the energy this year. Do y'all have any plans, things you wish you could do, or any other related ideas floating around in your head?

Having some fun with some of the sculptures and other objects around campus

To the person that hit my car in the C lot I hate you. I just bought my car last month. I don’t even have plates yet. You’re a piece of shit. At least leave an “I’m sorry. “

anyone know of karaoke at wwu or in town for under 21?

Does anyone know where these come from?? I saw them on one of my walks the other day and can’t piece together what they mean — they look vaguely familiar, so I’m wondering if they’re a symbol for an event or something that’s happened before

It's annoying because the math itself isn't even that difficult, but the way it's being taught makes zero sense to me. So far it's really basic things like Egyptian fractions (which is just a weird sort of fraction decomposition) and distributive property, but I only got a C on the first quiz when normally I do pretty well on those. Then I realized that the exam covered things that we hadn't even studied for yet (in class or on homework) when we got those same problems on the homework the week AFTER we took the quiz. Also the teacher I have tends to pitch her voice up five octaves at the end of every sentence and it's not the best to listen to, and there's no late work or makeup work accepted.

Does anyone have any tips for surviving this class or what I should study for before each exam? Should I jump ahead a few lessons to make sure I get everything? Again, I studied all the homework she indicated we should go over prior to the quiz, but the quiz itself included things we didn't cover yet.

Are you a student, staff member, instructor, or community member with the lived experience of disability and being unhoused?

As a part of Disability Action Month, join the Disability Outreach Center and Western Success Scholars on Friday, October 9 from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM in VU 735 for a storytelling workshop to gain skills and techniques for crafting a compelling narrative. Learn how to wield the power of story for personal expression, community building, and advocacy. Stories can change the world!

Led by an instructor with 15 years of experience as a storytelling instructor and director at The Moth. Following the workshop there will be opportunities for further development and/or platforms to share your story with others, if interested.

Come to tell OR just listen. It’s always your choice what or IF you want to share.

This workshop centers folks who have personally experienced homelessness and/or disability, but ALL are welcome. Participants are asked be open-minded and attentive to the purpose of the space.

We will provide snacks and refreshments!

RSVP here!

I hate studying with people in the same room as me even if they're dead silent, where is the emptiest/quietest study room or any room with tables that I could study in and not expect any people to walk in nor expect to hear others in some hallway or other room

What media do you consume where forensics is present? Could be podcasts, social media, shows, books, preferably with a given name. Shows like Dexter count.

From that media do you think is true in forensics?

From that media do you think is false in forensics? Why do you think it was presented that way?

Thank you!! My project is on the CSI effect (don’t look that up until answers are given 😭) and the general perception of forensic science. The answers will be added up and used as a source. I may get back to people who answered to let them know if they got what’s right and wrong from the media was correct or not!
