Donations
WSU Police Cadets work hard – they study for their undergraduate degrees and may work part- or full-time while also participating in our internship-style law enforcement training program. They will also be helping with the set-up and clean-up of the Public Safety Career & Resource Fair, in addition to staffing their own table.
While registration for this year’s event is free, we ask that you consider donating to the WSU Police Cadet Program in lieu of a registration fee. Any donations made will be used to support the program through equipment purchases, organizing additional training opportunities, and team-building incentives.
If you are interested in donating to the WSU Police Cadet Program, we can accept both cash and checks at this time. Please make checks payable to the WSU Police Intern Fund. Donations can be left with Tessa at the event check-in table.
