BELLINGHAM – Six Western Washington University students were chosen to participate in the Leadership Lunch event held at the College of Business and Economics (CBE) on Feb. 19.

The quarterly CBE Leadership Lunch Program recognizes students who have distinguished themselves through scholarship and leadership while in the College of Business and Economics. Students are nominated by faculty in their respective departments.
