Some 100 WSU students turned out for the annual Coug Day at the Capitol today to advance the cause of higher education.
Some 65 meetings with legislators and staff were scheduled, a slate that approached half the offices in the state Legislature. Students came not only from the Pullman campus but also from Vancouver, the Tri-Cities, Spokane and Everett. Of those participating, half came from a WSU campus other than Pullman.
The event is organized each year by the Associated Students of Washington State University to support student involvement in higher education issues and the ASWSU legislative agenda.
Coug Day events can be followed on Twitter using the hashtag #CougDay2016.
