Sunlight and Glass
Simone Huynh – WSU Vancouver Campus
Good schools are like stained glass windows. They are made of many different parts, which on their own are all but meaningless. Yet when these mismatched parts are arranged together, an awe-inspiring sight is created. But just the pieces fitting together seamlessly is not enough for full potential to be realized, only when the light of its students shine through it can we truly see its beauty. Every color is harmonious with another. My piece is representative of that idea, that the students in the school are the ones who can and will show the world what their school was meant to be. Without students, a school is just another building, beautiful as it may be. Within my digital stained glass window, one may spot Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens, as they are seen from the quad at WSU Vancouver. The quad itself is also depicted, and set above it all is the WSU Cougar, roaring with the might of the sun behind it.

The World of WSU
Elizabeth Jackson -WSU Global Campus
I began my degree at the Pullman campus, but halfway through, I switched to the Global Campus. It’s essential to highlight the fantastic global community at WSU, where all Cougs can connect worldwide and receive the same education.

Forever and Always
Kaitlyn Grubb – WSU Pullman Campus
Forever and always, no matter the mascot or the student. This piece is a depiction of three of WSU’s mascots together, Squirt the dog, the original live cougar, and Butch the cougar. Though our mascots have changed, watching us grow and change as a college and community, they still represent us and our pride. Forever and always, let’s go WSU!

A Cougar’s Presence
Lydia Park – WSU Pullman Campus
Embodied in this artwork is the regal image of a cougar, symbolizing the watchful spirit that can sense every Coug on the Washington State University campus. Against the backdrop of Bryan’s Clocktower and the iconic red buildings of Pullman, this scene captures a landmark moment, radiating pride for all Cougs. A visual ode to the WSU legacy, it stands as a testament to the shared identity and resilience of the Cougar community. GO COUGS!
