Welcome to the first episode of Digital Den, the WSU Global Campus podcast where the Global Cougar community comes together to connect, learn, and belong.
In our premiere episode, host Andria Donnenwerth is joined by WSU Global Campus Chancellor Dave Cillay, Global Connections Coordinator and Global Campus alumna Mia Darnell, and student leader Karizmah King.
Chancellor Cillay shares his perspective on what makes WSU Global Campus unique, the importance of connection and belonging, and his advice for the year ahead. Mia takes us inside Week of Welcome and introduces the many ways students can build connections and get involved throughout the semester. Then, Karizmah shares her experience as a Global Campus student leader and how getting involved has shaped her own Cougar experience.
Along the way, we'll highlight the Chancellor's Excellence Fund in our Den Difference, discover Global Connections in our Den Discovery, and wrap up with a simple Den Challenge: attend one Week of Welcome event and take that first step toward connection.
Whether you're a current student, alum, faculty or staff member, donor, volunteer, mentor, or friend of WSU Global Campus, you're part of the Global Cougar community. Whether you're tuning in from across the state or across the globe, you're right where you need to be.
Stay connected, keep learning, and as always, Go Cougs!
