LEARN FROM PROFESSORS WHO GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR YOU

Katie Doonan BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES, ORGANIC AND

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE | SENIOR | BISHOP, CA

Katie has always been fascinated by human health and the hands-on science of food production—hence her unusual double major.

Her advice to new students? Talk to your professors.Showing up at office hours and asking questions led her to a summer internship, a mentored position in a professor’s lab, and a job on the University’s cutting-edge organic research farm.

Katie is still deciding whether she wants to go to medical school or continue studying agriculture in grad school. Either way, she aims to keep her feet on the ground and her hands in the soil.

WSU Cougs are creators, innovators, builders, and authors. We are motivators, self-starters, and scholars. We look to the stars while staying down-to-earth.

Above all else, we live our lives and pursue our studies with purpose. We are determined to change the world for the better, and we’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and lead the way.

W H E R E D O W S U G R A D U AT E S W O R K ?

You can find Cougs at the biggest and most innovative companies around: Microsoft, Amazon, the Boeing Company, Google, NBC, Marriott, Hilton Hotels Worldwide, Deloitte, Insight Global, Enterprise Holdings, and Energy NW, just to name a few.

WSU students also go on to work for a wide variety of community organizations and small businesses—and also start their own. The WSU alumni network is worldwide and opens doors for Cougs in all industries.

Who are the Cougs?

BUILD REAL-WORLD SKILLS BEFORE YOU GRADUATE

Lars NeuenschwanderBIOENGINEERING, SPANISH | CLASS OF 2019 | PULLMAN, WA

A summer volunteering in “the FIZ”—a maker-space open to all WSU students—ignited Lars’ passion for bringing engineering and human health together.

He took entrepreneurship courses, mentored new students, studied abroad, and joined a professor’s research team. For his senior project, he helped create a handheld device that revolutionizes screening for autism spectrum disorder—and won a $10,000 prize in a national competition.

Having graduated in May, he’s now focusing on bringing his invention to the market.

We have small-town friendliness and everything you’ll need for a meaningful college experience.

Brooke and Kiara, roommates in Northside Hall, came to WSU from very different places. Kiara chose WSU because she was ready to experience someplace new. Brooke came to WSU because she loved the small-town location and the strong life science programs. They both found common ground—and a lot of new friends—by jumping into campus life together.
