Currently there is a WT United Way cabinet, which consists of five students. Student Body President Amy Thompson, Student Body Vice President Josh Runion, IFC President Jeremy Dewbre, Panhellenic President Jasinia Flores, and Freshman Senator Patrick Miller.

“This is the first college cabinet in the nation United Way has adopted and we are honored to be a part of their program,” Amy Thompson, student body president, said. “They do wonderful things for our community and we couldn’t wait to be a part of that.”
