The Importance of Alumni Involvement at WSU

Most of us would say that we owe much of our success to the student experience and the world-class education we received at WSU.  Volunteering and becoming more involved in the university can be your way to say "thank you".  The opportunities and ways you can give back to WSU are endless and it's a decision that is critically important to the success of the University.  Together, we can make a positive and lasting impact on WSU.

By becoming more involved in WSU you will be helping today's students become tomorrow's leaders and helping WSU achieve its key initiatives - which benefit us all.  Helping past, present, and future Cougars is what being a Cougar is all about.

We encourage you to work with the Alumni Association to find opportunities for you to make a positive difference for WSU.  Please contact the Alumni Association office at 1-800-258-6978 if you have any questions.  We would love to visit with you!
