Western Day

Western Day is celebrated each year by the Western community on or around March 7 - the anniversary of the University’s founding in 1878. It is a time for alumni, students, faculty and staff - wherever they are around the world - to reconnect and share in a celebration of everything #purpleandproud. Here's how you can celebrate on March 3: Wear purple to mark the occasion. Attend our virtual event with Survivor Winner Erika Casupanon and Rick McGhie.
