ELIZABETH CANTWELL, WSU President
Welcome to Washington State University! These first steps into your college journey mark more than just the start of classes; they are the beginning of a transformative experience that will shape how you think, how you lead, and how you interact with the world around you.
WSU is a place built for doers and problem-solvers. Here, you will be challenged to ask big questions, engage deeply with your community, and embrace the responsibility that comes with opportunity. Be curious. Take risks. Seek out people who will expand your perspective. Growth comes from stepping beyond what is familiar.
Most of all, remember that you’re not doing this alone. You’ve joined a network of Cougs who care about your success and want you to thrive. So, take a breath, be yourself, and get ready for an incredible journey.
We can’t wait to see what you accomplish here. Go Cougs!

CHRIS RILEY-TILLMAN, WSU Provost
Hello, Cougs! Welcome to Washington State University and the Cougar family! As you begin this exciting new chapter, I want to share one key piece of advice: get involved.
At WSU Pullman, you’ll find more than 450 registered student organizations—whether you’re into robotics, the arts, service, or something entirely unique, there’s a place for you. You’ll also have access to hands-on research opportunities, one-of-a-kind recreation opportunities, and a dedicated community of faculty and staff who are here to support your success.
Strive for balance—prioritize your academics, but don’t forget to make time for friendships, fun, and personal growth. Explore new interests, connect with others, and step outside your comfort zone. This is your time to create a meaningful and memorable university experience.
Being a Coug means more than earning a world class education. It means becoming part of a strong, supportive network that lasts a lifetime.
We’re so glad you’re here. Go Cougs!
