You’re invited to celebrate with us as we welcome WSU’s 12th President!

Washington State University’s Inaugural Community Celebration is an event designed to bring research to life and connect our campus with the broader community!

We invite WSU faculty and staff researchers from all disciplines to showcase their work through hands-on, interactive experiences. Whether your research involves technology, health, education, sustainability, agriculture, the arts, or anything in between, this is an opportunity to share what you do in an engaging, accessible way.
