Through Our Lens
Share your voice, explore your creativity, and build community at Western through visual storytelling!
Through Our Lens is an engaging community-based participatory research project that puts cameras in the hands of Western students to amplify your perspectives and experiences.
Our goal is to connect science and practice by inspiring community engagement and student participation in the development, planning, and implementation of an intervention that gives students a space to reflect individually and communally about their experiences at WWU through the medium of photography.
Gender Equity in STEM
Our 2025 project is a collaboration between the Counseling and Wellness Center and the WWU Pink Moon Society. We will be focusing on the experiences of gender minorities in STEM at Western.
The project is supported by the WWU Sustainability, Equity & Justice Fund.
