Message from the Chancellor
WSU Spokane is a creative, engaged, world-class learning enterprise for the 21st century that helps design healthy lives, institutions, and environments.
The urban campus of Washington State University, WSU Spokane features advanced studies and research in health sciences and professions, the design disciplines, education, social and policy sciences, and science and technology.
Our programs are closely integrated with those at the Pullman campus, leveraging two distinctive advantages—the world-class basic science research conducted in Pullman and connections to Spokane-area business and industry—to conduct use-inspired, problem-solving research across the disciplines.
This integration allows us to develop distinctive class programs responsive to national, state, and regional needs. We house the system-wide headquarters for WSU's Division of Health Sciences, the Interdisciplinary Design Institute, leadership for WSU's programs in educational administration, a math/science partnership initiative with area schools, and other distinctive units.
In partnership with the communities we serve, WSU Spokane works to address issues of immediate community concern. These include joint efforts with the K–12 school system, local businesses and community organizations, health and human services, and public agencies.
WSU Spokane works closely with other colleges and universities in the region. We are leading the development of the Riverpoint Campus as a knowledge anchor for the Inland Northwest, the community, and the University District developing around us to attract talent, public and private investment, and other resources.
