President's Student Advisory Board

Fellow Cougs,

Today the President’s Student Advisory Board met for the second time this semester. The President’s Student Advisory Board is composed of President Floyd and twenty-eight students, each with a unique background and experience at WSU. The purpose of the President’s Student Advisory Board is to allow WSU students to assist and advise our University President, Elson S. Floyd, on issues important to the student population.

The overriding theme of today’s meeting was the WSU student experience and if student expectations are being met by the University. Topics discussed by the board included technology, career connections, study abroad experiences, and internship opportunities. Additionally, we discussed the student desire to have Washington State University administer graduate admissions exams such as the GRE, MCAT, GMAT, and LSAT.

President Floyd was very receptive to all student expectations conveyed at the meeting. I thank him for continued commitment to the students.
