Reminders, deadlines and events
* The Fire and Safety Department will conduct fire alarm testing across campus from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. today (Wednesday, Dec. 20). During the test, the fire alarm will sound briefly for 10-20 seconds. This is only a test of the system. If the alarm system goes longer than this test time or at any time not during the designated test time, treat the alarm as a real alarm and evacuate the building.
* All gift deposits for calendar 2017 must be delivered to the WSU Foundation by 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 4, so we can properly credit our donors. Please be sure to attach the envelope to each gift so that we can verify the 2017 postmark date. If you have questions, contact Amy Houpt at 978-5191.
