Senior Send Off Toast and Alumni Launch, presented by STCU
About the event
Graduating Cougs, this one’s for YOU!
Join us for Washington State University’s first-ever Senior Send Off Toast and Alumni Launch—a celebration dedicated to your hard work, achievements, and next big steps as you get ready to join the Cougar alumni family!
This free event is all about giving you a fun, memorable night surrounded by friends, WSU staff, and alumni who can’t wait to welcome you into the next chapter of Cougar life. Join us at the Lewis Alumni Centre (Pullman campus) for:
- Food & drinks (free for the class of 2026 including graduate students*)
- Special toast with WSU Leadership
- Appearance by Butch T. Cougar
- Cap decorating station
- Networking with alumni
- Grad themed photo booths
- Giveaways (gift cards, items for your next big move, and more!)
- Live DJ, and more!
*Registered seniors get a free food & drink ticket, in addition to a special giveaway powered by College Hill.
Celebrating from somewhere else? You can still be part of the fun! We’re partnering with Global Campus so you can celebrate your achievements Cougar-style from any location! Register for the event for more information on the full virtual program.
Be sure to register in Handshake!
Let us know you plan to attend by registering in Handshake – registration is extended!
What we think makes this event unique:
- This is will be the inaugural event so we hope Cougs can join in starting this new tradition
- The event overlaps with the WSU Alumni Leadership Conference so Cougs can network with chapters across the U.S. – from the east coast all the way here to the west coast
- Graduating seniors are eligible for free food and giveaways. Supporters and WSU community members are welcome to attend and celebrate, too!
Plus—exclusive Class of 2026 gear!
Whether you’re attending the event or not, you can order limited-edition merchandise through College Hill Custom Threads.
Don’t forget your Grad Pack!
