Washington State University is a public research university committed to its land-grant heritage and tradition of service to society. Our mission is threefold: ? To advance knowledge through creative research and scholarship across a wide range of academic disciplines. ? To extend knowledge through innovative educational programs in which emerging scholars are mentored to realize their highest potential and assume roles of leadership, responsibility, and service to society. ?
