Rawlins, Floyd to Hold Tri-Cities News Conference

TRI-CITIES, Wash. – Washington State University President V. Lane Rawlins and Incoming President Elson S. Floyd will discuss the current legislative session and the upcoming presidential transition and will answer questions about other issues facing the university during a news conference at 3 p.m. Monday (Feb. 12) on the second floor of the WSU Tri-Cities Consolidated Information Center located at 2770 University Drive, Richland. 

Floyd, president of the University of Missouri, was selected by the WSU Board of Regents in December to serve as the institution’s 10th president. He will succeed Rawlins, who announced last summer that he would be retiring in June. Floyd will be in the state for several days to meet with various campus and community representatives and will be visiting all four WSU campuses.
