Welcome to first day of fall semester

As students across the Washington State University system start filling classrooms system-wide, President Elizabeth Cantwell shared a message of optimism, gratitude, and purpose for the year ahead.

In a welcome video, Cantwell emphasizes the university’s role in shaping the next generation of leaders, conducting innovative research, and serving communities throughout Washington: “These students and the communities they come from are counting on us, Washington State University, to lead the way.”

And, in an accompanying message to faculty and staff, she invites the WSU community to participate in listening sessions across the system this fall to reflect on where the university is and where it is headed.
