Town Halls

Each fall, Washington State University is pleased to host a series of Town Halls featuring WSU President Kirk Schulz and campus chancellors across the system.

With a strong emphasis on community involvement, the fall’s Town Halls feature collaborative dialogue that prioritizes questions submitted from the university community in advance. Senior leadership has historically addressed campus-specific and industry-wide areas of interest, including crucial topics related to affordability and access to education; innovation in learning; diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; sustainability; workforce preparation; and mental health support.
