WSU Vancouver

Day 3 of New Coug Orientation is in the books!❤️🩶

Another incredible group of future Cougs explored campus, made new connections and took the next step toward their WSU Vancouver journey. We can't wait to welcome everyone back this fall!

If you've noticed construction along NE Sam Smith Drive, it's not a WSU Vancouver construction project—it's part of C-TRAN's Vine on Highway 99 expansion! 🚧🚌

Beginning in 2027, WSU Vancouver will become the northern terminus of the new Vine line, bringing faster, more frequent and more reliable transit to campus. Plus, students will continue to ride free throughout Clark County with the Education Opportunity Pass.

This partnership with C-TRAN will make it even easier to get to class, work, internships and more.

Another Orientation day in the books!❤️🩶

We had a great time welcoming another group of future Cougs to campus! Our newest students are one step closer to beginning their WSU journey. Welcome to the Cougar family!

Butterflies are quietly disappearing across the United States, but research at WSU Vancouver is helping make a difference.

Earth.com recently highlighted the work of WSU Vancouver conservation biologist Dr. Cheryl Schultz, whose research is advancing our understanding of butterfly population declines and informing conservation efforts across the country. Her work demonstrates how university research can have a meaningful impact beyond the classroom—helping protect biodiversity and the ecosystems we all depend on.
