As the new school year kicks off, join President Schulz as he sits down for a virtual conversation with veteran journalist and member of WSU’s Board of Regents, Enrique Cerna. Hear about the upcoming year’s legislative priorities for the university, ongoing advocacy efforts, and other topics of interest to the WSU community. This event is sponsored by the WSU Alumni Association and WSU Impact.

Few would disagree that inclusion is the right thing to do and good for business. So why are we so terrible at it? If we believe in the “why” of being diverse, inclusive, and equitable leaders, then why are we still struggling to put it into action? Because true change requires inclusion on purpose, which takes more than just knowing inclusion is right, it commands personal intention and awareness when creating inclusive workplaces. In this research-backed webinar, inclusion strategist and author Ruchika Tulshyan will set the stage for why we must take an intersectional, purposeful approach to create an inclusive workplace.

Join the WSU Alumni Association Palouse Chapter Cougs and the WSU Retirees Association on September 22 for a special behind-the-scenes tour of Northwest Public Broadcasting studios and Murrow College of Communication studios.

You are invited to meet Mariah Maki, our new Associate Vice President for Advancement and Executive Director of the WSU Alumni Association. Mariah is only the sixth WSUAA Executive Director since the position was created in 1934 and the first woman to serve in this role.

Leading is filled with contradictions. You must be strong — and vulnerable. Be confident while remaining humble. Create openness while also instilling order to hold space for growth and exploration. And pursue excellence rather than perfection.
