Daily Update
Welcome to Willamette’s 179th year
Office of the President
Dear Bearcats,
Welcome to the start of the new academic year! We are thrilled to be with you on your journey of learning and discovery.
You are starting the year under particularly challenging circumstances but you have shown great resilience and flexibility thus far — qualities that will help you be successful both here and in your post-Willamette pursuits.
As we’ve said before, campus life will look and feel very different, but we are confident that with the cooperation of everyone in our campus community, we can all enjoy the opportunities to learn, grow and support one another.
Thank you for being a member of the Bearcat community.
President Steve Thorsett
