Meet Lydia Ruppel! “I am lucky to have such great and supportive professors that have shaped me into the student I am today. They each inspire me to be not only the best student but the best overall person I can be everyday. #wmustudent #schoolofcommunocation #WhySocWednesday

Sometimes fear prevents us from doing great things! Don’t let your doubt consume you. The SoC knows that you’ll never feel 100% ready, but like @nike says “Just Do It!” 💪 #WesternMichigan #MotivationMonday #SoC #nike #WMU

I’m very glad my school is letting me decide where/how to teach this upcoming year. Thanks to @WMUAAUP and to @comwmu for supporting faculty.
