In his words: “Mine has been a remarkable life.” And, that it was. We invite you to read Dr. Belcher's final message to us all. We will reflect a moment of silence through the remainder of the weekend.

Last night, threats were made against

regarding the Black Lives Matter mural on their campus. WCU fully supports UNCA. We must work together to disrupt the racism that has produced violence in our nation. We hear our Black students, faculty & staff & will not sit idly by.

In the 1930s, a campus-wide contest was held to choose our mascot.
The finalists were the Catamount and Mountain Boomer (which, if you didn’t know, is a squirrel).
After many years, we’ve made the decision to become the Mountain Boomers.
Welcome to the Boomer family!🐿️
