WOU Center for Professional Pathways

10/19/2026

The Western Oregon University Center for Professional Pathways invites you to join us for one or both of our upcoming Career Connect events. These informal conversations give students the opportunity to connect with professionals, hear your stories, and learn how your experiences shaped your career journey.

✨ Affirm & Inspire Humanities Career Connect: Wednesday, November 4

🌟 First Gen Career Connect : Thursday, November 5
(Must have been a First Gen student, preferrably at WOU.)

You don’t need a presentation—just a willingness to share your journey, lessons learned, and advice. One conversation can make a lasting impact!

Interested in joining us? Send an email to me at [email protected] to join the list.

Bright spots worth recognizing 👏

Western Oregon University is taking some important steps to align its teacher preparation program with the science of reading by:

➡️ expanding literacy coursework requirements

➡️ strengthening district partnerships

➡️ creating opportunities for future teachers to practice evidence-based reading instruction before they enter the classroom

We’re honored to play a role through our High Impact Tutoring partnership with WOU, which gives teacher candidates hands-on experience supporting young readers.
