Student Affairs
The results of our student-centered approach seem clear— WSU has a reputation for producing exceptional team players, problem solvers, and creative thinkers. These qualities attract a wide range of prospective employers. In fact, a recent Wall Street Journal survey put WSU in the top 25 U.S. universities from which recruiters most want to hire graduates—the only university in the Northwest to make the list.
Such an affirmation of the WSU difference may be directly traced to our continuing emphasis on four essential life components:
- Learning to Make a Difference
- Signature Leadership Experiences
- Vibrant Campus Communities
- Wellbeing: Healthy and Engaged for a Sustainable World
Within each of these essential components, an array of special programs, internships, workshops, educational campaigns, and resource centers encourage personal growth and service opportunities.
