The Employee Recognition Program provides an opportunity to recognize and thank staff and faculty for their contributions, dedication, and commitment to the WSU community. Washington State University is a top-tier research university and one of America’s leading land-grant universities and our faculty and staff are at the forefront of this endeavor, continually offering their best.
From academics to facilities maintenance, from athletics to research to student services, the members of the WSU community are central to every success, every improvement, and every triumph.
