Outstanding Service Award

The Outstanding Service Award is granted as a public testimonial to individuals who have made outstanding singular or collective contributions in service to advance the WSU Foundation and the University’s development efforts. These individuals are advocates for philanthropy who inspire the broader WSU community through their dedication and commitment to help the University realize its full potential through private support. Outstanding Service Awards are presented during the WSU Foundation Annual Meeting each fall.
