A program aimed at equipping rural residents with skills they need to compete for remote work in the post-pandemic economy is being offered this fall.

Sessions run from 3–5 p.m. virtually and in person at WSU Pullman. Pizza will be served for those attending in person. All attendees are eligible for door prizes. More information is available online.

Free online counseling and a step-by-step guide for finding local healthcare providers are just two of the resources available to graduate students across the WSU system.

Professor Guy Palmer will present “Global health research at WSU: Inclusive from childhood nutrition to pandemic virus hunting” for the Vice President for Research Distinguished Lecture at 1 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 11.

The services are intended to enhance the dining experience and meet the needs of a WSU Pullman community that is active during the day and at night.

The chosen individual will join the cadre of influential leaders who have previously received the honor, among them journalist Edward R. Murrow and Pulitzer Prize‑winning poet Carolyn Kizer.

In order to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18—the deadline for state workers—WSU employees need to have their second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or the one‑dose Janssen/Johnson & Johnson by Oct. 4.

Fans can be verified before the game by showing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test at various kiosk locations outside of Gesa Field.

WSU Pullman students looking for a unique way to get involved are invited to apply to serve on one of the Division of Student Affairs’ advisory boards.

This Friday, Oct. 1, is the last day to nominate deserving colleagues for the 2021 Safety, Health, and Security Awards.
