Washington State University (WSU, commonly pronounced Wazzu) is a public research university based in Pullman, Washington, in the Palouse region of the Pacific Northwest. Founded in 1890, WSU is the state's original and largest land-grant university and confers bachelor's, master's, professional and doctoral degrees, and offers more than 200 fields of study. The university is well known for its programs in chemical engineering, veterinary medicine, agriculture, animal science, food science, plant science, architecture, neuroscience, criminal justice and communications, as well as its atmospheric, biological chemistry, shock physics, sleep and wood materials research laboratories. It is ranked in the top-ten universities in the US in terms of clean technology and it is one of 96 public and private universities in America with "very high research activity," as determined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. WSU is ranked among the top half of national universities at 106th according to U.S. News.

The university also operates branch campuses across Washington known as WSU Spokane, WSU Tri-Cities, and WSU Vancouver, all founded in 1989. These campuses award primarily bachelor's and master's degrees. Freshmen and sophomores were first admitted to the Vancouver campus in 2006 and to the Tri-Cities campus in 2007. The university also offers eight undergraduate degrees, a professional science masters and an online MBA to students around the world through WSU Online, formerly known as Distance Degree Programs. Total enrollment for the four campuses and WSU Online exceeds 25,900 students. In 2009, this included a record 1,447 international students, the highest since 1994 when there were 1,442.

WSU's Division I athletic teams are called the Cougars. The six men's and nine women's varsity teams compete in the Pacific-10 Conference.

These ladies are not professional dancers -- some never danced hula at all before this, some never visited any of the islands, and others don't even have a drop of Polynesian blood in them -- but all were eager and willing to learn about the various cultures of the Pacific as well as learn the different dances. I'm proud of them and I think they put on a fantastic performance! PIC's Mission: "As an organization, we strive to address issues concerning Pacific Islanders students. Our goals are to educate and inform people (Pacific Islanders and non-Pacific Islanders) about our cultures and traditions, as well as aid in the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Pacific Islander students. We welcome new students and provide them a forum where they can openly express their thoughts and opinions, while providing moral support and peer guidance."

The Seattle-based airline, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK) will repaint four CRJ-700 airplanes in its fleet that were previously used by Frontier JetExpress. The planes needed to be repainted anyway, Horizon Air officials said. The first plane repainted will sport WSU's logo on the tail and on the fuselage later this month, followed by logos of Oregon, Oregon State and Washington. Horizon currently flies to three of the colleges' home cities: Pullman, Wash.; Eugene, Ore.; and Seattle. Oregon State is located in Corvallis. "We expect this will thrill fans of the school teams, and put a smile on the faces of graduates, current students and university staff," said Dan Russo, Horizon's director of marketing and communications, in a statement.
