WUE Week
First things first: you might be asking, "What's WUE?" The Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) is an agreement among 16 states and territories, through which 160+ participating public colleges and universities provide steep nonresident tuition savings for Western students. During WUE week with Baker, counselors from four of these schools popped into Zoom to share more about what their colleges have to offer, and students were able to learn about some out-of-state schools that won’t cost them a fortune! Here's who stopped by—
