Picha brings three decades of philanthropic experience to the board as the former president of the Seattle Children’s Foundation.

Regent Marty Dickinson will continue to serve on the governing body of the institution for another six‑year term.

More than a dozen action items before the WSU Board of Regents were approved during its Friday meeting in Pullman.

The university is expected to submit its finalized budget request to the state’s Office of Financial Management by Sept. 13.

The meeting will take place on Friday, Aug. 11, from the WSU System President’s Office at 255 E. Main Street, Suite 102 in Pullman. The public portion of the meeting will be streamed live on YouTube.

Isaac Marroquin, a master’s student at WSU Tri-Cities who served in several student leadership roles as an undergraduate, is joining the university’s Board of Regents as the next student regent.

The meeting — which includes an executive session — will take place inside the Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center. The business portion of the retreat will be broadcast live on YouTube.

The Spokane campus is hosting meetings of the WSU Board of Regents this week. Members will participate in commencement-related events at Spokane and Pullman as well.

The visit on March 22 will start with a campus and building tour followed by a panel discussion at 10 a.m. with WSU Everett graduates.

Regents also voted to approve revisions to the university’s undergraduate housing requirement, eliminating an exemption that allowed first‑year students to request an exemption to live in fraternity or sorority houses.
