The WSUAA is committed to creating a Cougar community where everyone feels welcomed and like they belong. With open hearts, we are dedicated to learning together. WSU and the WSU Alumni Association are committed to achieving an ethically and socially just society for all. Instituting social change on a large scale begins at home. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout every aspect of the WSU system. In the process, a climate will be created that enables underrepresented alums, students, faculty, and staff to not only survive but thrive in communities that foster a sense of belonging in a culture of inclusion. Creation of an institutional culture in which inclusion and equity are the norms, a model that helps move the world toward a place in which all people are treated with dignity and respect.
