The Westphal College of Media Arts & Design is committed to creating a better Westphal. In an effort to increase transparency, open lines of communication, and advocate for the student experience at Westphal, we have established our first Westphal College Student Council, comprised of 25 students representing various student organizations and all seven departments in Westphal.

Members of the Student Council will advise Dean Jason Schupbach and Westphal leadership on how to create the best student experience, work with the Strategic Planning Taskforce to provide feedback and perspective on Westphal’s new strategic plan, act as liaisons to our student body, and ultimately, use their voice to shape the future of the Westphal College.
