President Randhawa welcomes new students

By The Western Front | September 19

Welcome to the 2016-17 school year at Western! Like many of you I also am new to this wonderful university and to Bellingham, having just started my official duties as president on Aug. 1. My wife Uzma and I have enjoyed learning our way around campus and our new hometown, meeting new people, and learning firsthand what makes Western and Bellingham such a special place to live and learn.
