Celebrate Our Past, Build Our Future
On March 28, 2018, we will celebrate Washington State University's 128th birthday while building the future for Cougs of today and tomorrow.
Since 2015, WSU students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends have contributed more than $1 million during #CougsGive days toward research excellence, student services and support, leadership programs, endowed professorships, scholarships, and more. This March, we will take another step forward on #CougsGive with more than $100,000 in generous matching funds and dozens of donor challenges and bonus opportunities. Together, we will make #CougsGive '18 the best one yet!
Wherever your passion lies, please give generously, share enthusiastically, and help us show the world how Cougs give back! Go Cougs!
