What its pages say

Quoted word for word from western.edu.

In their own words
“Our storied history begins in Colorado's Western Slope. The Western Slope encompasses all the terrain lying west of the Continental Divide, comprised of rugged mountains, winding rivers, peaceful pine forests, and unique rock formations. Historically a cultural leader in the rural region due to its cattle and mining influence, the city of Gunnison sought to provide its citizens with an opportunity for higher education.” About page
