Why Willamette?
I chose Willamette because of the community feel that permeated through the virtual interviews. Instantly, I was welcomed by smiles and personal questions that made me feel seen and heard. After joining the team, the on-campus experience was even better. Our students are collaborative and kind and I've found a chosen family within our staff.
