Alive!

After two years of quiet campuses during the summer months, WSU’s New Coug Orientation is welcoming back new and transfer students for in‑person orientation programs across the system.

After stepping up to serve as the interim head of the Student Financial Services office, Scourey was chosen to lead the team as its new assistant vice president.
