Note on Perspectives:

These columns are one method I use to keep the WSU community and our various constituency groups up to date on university decisions and initiatives. Columns usually carry my byline. Occasionally, I will invite others to comment on WSU’s impact and aspirations. I hope you will find Perspectives useful and informative.
