WSU Spokane News & Events

WSU Spokane’s annual Chancellor’s Excellence Awards celebrate the contributions of outstanding students, faculty, and staff who go above and beyond their normal duties, demonstrate strong leadership skills, and serve as great representatives for WSU Spokane both on campus and within the community.

The reimagined 113,000-square-foot facility contains upgraded classrooms and flexible learning spaces for medical education, a campus testing center, a student collaboration hub, and faculty offices.
