Community Engagement
The GPSA Community Affairs Committee was created in 2015 to enhance the relationship that GPSA has with the WSU and Pullman community. Our goal is to promote the inclusion and involvement of all graduate and professional students in all events that involve the community inside and outside of WSU. On this page, you will find resources on how to get engaged with the WSU and Pullman community including community partners and contact information, events, as well as other ways to get involved. Please contact gpsa.community@wsu.edu for more information.
GPSA Community Affairs is featuring WSU graduate and professional students that are doing research related to or making an impact on the Pullman/Moscow community. See the GPSA Community Affairs Spotlight!
Current Engagement Opportunities
Fellow STEAM Enthusiasts!
The CCE is passionate about supporting opportunities for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) focused educational outreach to the communities throughout the Palouse. If you are interested in spreading STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) knowledge come join us!
Participants are encouraged to staff their own table and create a hands-on project that students and their families can do together. If you are not up to creating your own activity our CCE team is happy to create one for you! Also, if you are interested in participating individually that is great too!
Please contact Xingyao Chen, Group Projects Graduate Assistant at the CCE, for further details.

Campus Resources and Support
Maintaining a safe, healthy, and inclusive campus is the entire WSU community's responsibility. We contribute to a community which encourages and educates everyone to make positive choices and share messages of our values.
Occasionally students make choices that put those values at risk. The community standards process is designed to support those students, uphold their rights and responsibilities, and hold them accountable for behaviors that conflict with our community standards.
