Leading in Cougar Country 2021
Leading in Cougar Country is a virtual event for workplace leaders hosted by WSU Human Resource Services.
With the events over the past year and as we look ahead to the future of the workplace, the goal of this event is to re-energize and re-engage faculty and staff leaders system-wide.
Leading in Cougar Country is intended for faculty and staff leaders at various levels within the WSU System, including but not limited to: academic chairs and directors, non-academic directors, managers, supervisors, and administrative managers.
