Viking pride in the Olympics! 🥇

Did you know that alpine ski racer and Olympic gold medalist Breezy Johnson is a WWU alum?

A speed-event specialist, Breezy won gold in the women’s downhill at the 2026 Winter Olympics, becoming just the second U.S. woman to win and inspire the next generation of women in the sport.
Go Viks! 🤘

A legacy of giving back.

Peter (’58) and Judith Hallson made the largest gift in WWU history with a remarkable $10.5 million planned gift that will establish Western’s first endowed deanship to support students, faculty, and research.

After earning a degree from Western and retiring from his career, Peter wanted to give back to the university that helped shape his journey. His experiences at Western and throughout his career inspired him to share his knowledge and resources to help create opportunities for future generations of students.

We’re deeply grateful to Peter and Judith not only for this generous gift, but for their decades worth of generosity and belief in Western’s future.
