has generously committed $35,000 to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø (CWI) in support of the new (NCHS) and student-focused initiatives. As the presenting sponsor for CWI’s Week of Welcome activities during the 2025-2026 academic year, Westmark’s gift will help create a warm and engaging start for students while also investing in the future of healthcare education. Their generous donation will go toward the building itself in the amount of $25,000 as well as $10,000 going to Student Affairs.  

Following brief comments from CWI Vice President of Advancement, Mark Arstein, and Westmark President and CEO, Mike Schenck, the group took a tour of NCHS. CWI Assistant Vice President of Advancement, Ryan Gerulf, led the tour group highlighting different features of the space, observing students in action, and noting the many labs throughout the building. 

During the check presentation, Schenck commented, “What better way can we help people improve their financial wellbeing than giving them access to a high-quality, affordable education? CWI’s mission speaks to us and aligns with our values at Westmark.” 

CWI is grateful to community partners such as Westmark Credit Union for their partnership in furthering student success and affordability.
