Alumni Testimonial:
"WSU Vancouver gave me leadership opportunities beyond my wildest, artistic dreams."
Cara Cottingham, DTC
"WSU Vancouver has the feel of a small, private university. Classes are small, so you get plenty of individual attention. All the classes are taught by real faculty that you get to know. The faculty is excellent—very knowledgeable and up on current thinking in their areas, dedicated to teaching, interested in the success of their students, and accessible in person or via phone or email. Support staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The quality of the entire experience has really been excellent, has exceeded my expectations."
Matt Tucker, MBA
"At WSU Vancouver, instructors go beyond their duty to help students succeed."
Josefina Martinez, Psychology
"The generous contributions from alumni will help me realize my dream of becoming a doctor. I am a pre-health major and plan to graduate from WSU Vancouver in 2011. I would like to someday work in parts of the world that are considered dangerous work zones and help people of different countries receive adequate medical care."
Jacob Casey, Pre-health, scholarship recipient
