Welcome to Fall Semester 2025

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the start of the fall term. As we kick off the semester, I’m returning to the “why” behind the work we do at Washington State University — the purpose that drives us and shapes our shared future.

WSU President Elizabeth Cantwell shares a message of thanks to faculty and staff across the system as they prepare to guide, support, and educate students during the upcoming semester.

This fall, I’ll be hosting listening sessions across the WSU system to reflect on where we are and where we’re headed. As we move forward, your perspective — and the work you do today — will ensure that we’re inspiring our students and communities for years to come.

Thank you for everything you do. Let’s make this semester a great one.

Sincerely,

ELIZABETH CANTWELL
President
Washington State University
