We live here and grow here...this place we call home…Catamount Country.

It takes courage to put yourself so far out there. Courage to be the first—or to be the latest in a long line of Catamounts. Here, you can build on that courage with the people in your corner…like the teammates who cheer for you, the classmates who challenge you, the professors who inspire you…

At WCU, you can lead the way or lend a hand. Protect the region around you or preserve a language nearly lost. You can wander, create, inspire, connect, and dare. The only thing you can’t do here is go it alone.
