Western is a vibrant centre of learning with 3,500 full-time faculty and staff members, over 30,000 students and more than 50,000 local Western grads in the Greater London area.
The University offers more than 400 different majors, minors and specializations. With over 900 athletes and 200 full and part time department staff who power the athletics and recreation engines that serve the University.
Western is located on 155 hectares of land along the banks of the Thames River in London, Ontario - a thriving city of over 430,000 people. London is the largest Canadian city without a professional sports team and as a result, the Mustangs receive unparalleled media, fan, alumni and corporate support.
Steeped in a tradition of excellence, the Mustangs Athletic Program dates back to the late 1800’s whose brand and commitment since that time are to reach both the highest level of academic and athletic achievement.
The Western Mustangs are re-writing the way collegiate sports are marketed in Canada; providing businesses with a unique regional opportunity to align with Canada’s most powerful and innovative Canadian University property.
Our mission is to provide leadership in the promotion and delivery of quality physical activity programs and services that enhance health, wellness and a sense of community. As an integral part of the total educational experience, we enable the University community to meet their diverse physical activity needs.
