Get to Know Grant:
Why WSU:
My parents actually met right here at WSU Pullman, in Stephenson North! So I grew up always expecting to be a Coug and hearing how close-knit the Coug family is. I also chose WSU because of the amazing Environmental Science program and our phenomenal faculty here!
Why should a prospective student choose a CAHNRS major?
CAHNRS majors in my personal opinion are some of the most vital areas of study for our modern world. Every aspect of being a CAHNRS Coug means you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the planet we call home.
Favorite Professor at WSU:
Dr. Whitman! She is a phenomenal and passionate professor and I loved the classes that I got to take with her due to the insightful discussions and impactful, real world applications of the content we were learning..
