New opportunities to share our strengths and bounty There is remarkable momentum in our college this spring for our peers and visitors, our alumni, and our partners in industry. Over the past two weeks alone, I have participated in countless conversations that have illuminated the strength of our programs, the breadth of new opportunities before us, and quite literally what we bring to the table.

In his latest blog, Dean Khosla writes about a visit with
the entomology dept and a celebration of National Ag Day, as well as meetings with CAHNRS student ambassadors and FFA students visiting the @pullman.wsu.edu campus. #GoCougs

Fave Murrow Symposium moment: One of my favorite moments was actually coming back as an alumni and panelist. I thought it was so fun to connect with current students and I loved their curiosity and getting a chance to share my experience.

We highlight so many Murrow grads who...exemplify the traits of Edward R. Murrow. In class and at symposium, we’re teaching students to be like him...his influence remains. It gets passed through generations. We are still upholding his legacy. magazine.wsu.edu/web-extra/re... #WSU #GoCougs

"Personally, I’ve met a lot of alumni who I didn’t know before symposium. They come back every year because they love Murrow. They care. And they want to give something back to their school. It’s something they block out their calendar for every year." #WSU #GoCougs
