We look forward to celebrating these accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-dropshadow--medium wsu-color-background--white wsu-card--style-horizontal-33 wsu-card--layout-reversed\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-4-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-scaled.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094185499_f1c9eb38db_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Esther Kruse, Director of Finance in CAHNRS, speaks at the CAHNRS Town Hall .\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title  wsu-font-size--large\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>Accomplishing Something Greater with Realistic Resources\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-card__content-custom\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>CAHNRS leadership mentioned the importance of including everyone in the process of making tough decisions, showing how dedicated they are to building and maintaining a strong team bond in CAHNRS. Our leadership is constantly moving, actively exploring, and listening to everyone. Students, staff, and faculty alike are always welcome to speak up and ask tough questions, and events like the Town Hall give faculty and staff the opportunity to do so. We are all a mosaic of different fields of study that work together to feed, clothe, and care for communities as part of our mission to further agriculture, human, and natural resource sciences. As Brandon Schrand, our Director of Communications mentioned, there are so many facets of CAHNRS that when someone asks him what we do, he says &#8220;we work with babies, bees, bears, and wine, but not all in the same room.&#8221; At the Town Hall, we all came together in one room to address hard issues and celebrate wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two attendees to the CAHNRS Town Hall discuss in the audience before the event starts.\" class=\"wp-image-9655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122588_8c58df4016_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dean Khosla speaks at the CAHNRS Town Hall .\" class=\"wp-image-9650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55093915821_43643f8387_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Associate Dean Hulbert and Associate Dean McCracken go over notes for some of the questions before the CAHNRS Town Hall begins.\" class=\"wp-image-9654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122573_684a256cc5_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Nancy Deringer, Esther Kruse, and Vicki McCracken speak at the CAHNRS Town Hall .\" class=\"wp-image-9652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/55094122408_3141785a11_o-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section  wsu-border--add-left wsu-color-background--gray-5 wsu-border--color-crimson\"  >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">EPIC &#8211;

He spoke about loving the environment, the students, faculty, and staff at WSU CAHNRS, and how much he has appreciated the connections he&#8217;s made in Hulbert Hall and the office of Student Success and Academic Programs. He transferred to WSU from his Associate&#8217;s degree, and has since become a CAHNRS Student Ambassador, a mentor for the Team Mentoring program, been the President of our MANRRS chapter, and has engaged in recruiting for community colleges and high schools. Growing up, he didn&#8217;t have a solid idea of what college entailed, how scholarships and funding aid would work, or how research works in universities. Being the first person in his family to attend university, he recognizes how invaluable it has been to have the support of mentors in the CAHNRS offices. Because of that guidance, he is thrilled to be a part of sharing what he&#8217;s learned with fellow students. <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:27px;width:20%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"top:0;right:20px;height:55px;width:200px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium\">__________<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section  wsu-border--add-left wsu-color-background--gray-5 wsu-border--color-crimson-light\"  >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">Don&#8217;t Miss Out on the MANRRS Fundraiser Merch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/merchandise-sale-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Merchandise sale flyer with grey crewneck and a hoodie with CAHNRS logos on them.

Officially named via a large-scale naming contest of over 17,000 participants, the Sunflare\u2122 apple is a tart, crunchy, juicy cross of the Honeycrisp and the Cripps Pink apple, better known as the Pink Lady\u00ae apple.  Those of us who are lucky enough to have tried it can attest, it is an incredible tasting apple with beautiful coloring. We can&#8217;t wait to get our hands on more when it becomes available for public sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/Image-24-2.jpg\" alt=\"Britta Nitcy, a CAHNRS employee, receives an apple from the Director of Commercialization at the Apple tasting event.\" class=\"wp-image-9808\" width=\"751\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/Image-24-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/Image-24-2-300x293.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n    <\/section>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section  wsu-border--add-left wsu-border--color-crimson wsu-color-background--gray-5\"  >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">Regent Cerna Visits MANRRS<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-616x1024.png\" alt=\"Daniel Pastor, President of the MANRRS chapter, and Recent Cerna, Vice Chair of the Board of Regents at WSU.\" class=\"wp-image-9773\" width=\"381\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-616x1024.png 616w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-180x300.png 180w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-768x1276.png 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-924x1536.png 924w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-1-1232x2048.png 1232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Vice Chair of the WSU Board of Regents, Regent Enrique Cerna, visited the WSU MANRRS chapter for a presentation and to give inspiration to students who represent the future.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/regents.wsu.edu\/meet-the-regents\/enrique-cerna\/\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button \">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tLearn more about Regent Cerna\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"MANRRS students pose with Regent Cerna and a MANRRS sweater.\" class=\"wp-image-9772\" width=\"601\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/manrrs-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n    <\/section>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section wsu-spacing-before--none wsu-border--color-crimson wsu-color-background--gray-85\"  >\r\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">CAHNRS Recruitment Travel &#8211; &#8220;Where is Junior?&#8221; <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"Junior Gomez smiles\" class=\"wp-image-8450\" width=\"244\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/09\/image.png 580w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/09\/image-300x273.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior Gomez, CAHNRS Recruitment &amp; Retention Coordinator, is busy traveling across the state and beyond each week.
