Community Engagement

  

The GPSA Community Affairs Committee was created in 2015 to enhance the relationship that GPSA has with the WSU and Pullman community. Our goal is to promote the inclusion and involvement of all graduate and professional students in all events that involve the community inside and outside of WSU. On this page, you will find resources on how to get engaged with the WSU and Pullman community including community partners and contact information, events, as well as other ways to get involved. Please contact gpsa.community@wsu.edu for more information. 

GPSA Community Affairs is featuring WSU graduate and professional students that are doing research related to or making an impact on the Pullman/Moscow community. See the GPSA Community Affairs Spotlight!
