About Thrive Online

A photo of a laptop open to the Thrive Online websiteThrive Online is a space for you, as Western students (undergraduate, graduate, full-time, or part-time), to tell your own stories in your own words. This space is only as engaging, vibrant, and entertaining as the voices within it. We welcome all kinds of stories!

Western is known for its strong, tight-knit community of students. The memories you make here often forge lifelong relationships that connect you to us forever. Our campus is a beautiful place that acts as a backdrop for those memories, but it is the stories that tie us together. 

Values

Students have a strong voice and presence in their relationship with Thrive Online. There is active learning, brave conversations, and authenticity in all of our interactions. Through these interactions, we can better understand who we are together. Our mutual values are: joy, courage, curiosity, equity, decolonization, empathy, hope, humility, and integrity.
