Remembering a great friend and Coug

After a long day working on legislative matters, I had to participate in the memorial services for Pat Redmond — a great man and a wonderful Coug.  You see, Pat and his wife Ann were two of the first people to welcome me to WSU when I assumed the presidency.  I have maintained close contact with them and was there with Pat prior to his passing last Saturday.  I will miss him very much.  His huge smile and the thoughtful compassion he possessed will be sorely missed by me, his family, and his countless friends.  We have established a scholarship fund in his honor — the Patrick Redmond Scholarship Fund.

The purpose of this blog is to help facilitate an open dialogue among current WSU students, staff, and faculty on relevant subjects relating to WSU. All are welcome to view it, but a WSU email address is necessary to register for comments.
