* Exceptionalities Awareness Day is Tuesday, June 18, an event hosted by the WSU College of Education. Individuals age 16 and older with low vision or blindness and their families are coming to campus on June 18 to learn more about college life -- not only by attending some classes, but also by shadowing faculty and staff in the college to find out more about campus jobs.

* WSU has transitioned into a new accreditation model as required by our accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The new model requires the university to engage in a quality improvement project, also known as a Quality Initiative. The university's Quality Initiative is the Graduation Partnership, and the first annual report has been issued.
