Washington State University is world-class higher education and research institution that is dedicated to serving those who serve our nation. We welcome all military-affiliated students, as our veterans, active duty, guard/reserve, and military family members, are an integral part of the Cougar community. We are committed to helping them to succeed and achieve their academic and career goals.
WSU provides individualized support to help each student receive the education benefits they are entitled to. We seek to empower our military-affiliated students to take part in community and networking opportunities, including student organizations and veteran-specific physical locations on some WSU campuses. We also offer a wide variety of support services and programs across all six campuses.

Located in Cleveland Hall 27A, the Center is a space in which members of the Native graduate student community can relax, work, and hold meetings.

Resources available at the Center include computers with SPSS software and free printing.  The Center can be reserved for use by Native American student organizations after 4:00 PM each day.

The Native American Student Center strives to meet the educational needs of Native students, while providing a space on campus for Native students. They provide academic advising, cultural events, student mentoring program, scholarships, financial guidance, and computer usage, and more. 

The CLSC Mission at the Chicanx Latinx Student Center is to promote academic success and achievement for all students especially those of Latin/Spanish ethnicity, culture, community, heritage and linguistic backgrounds. Therefore, the Center provides academic guidance, programming, professional services, and connections to promote the students’ academic success and personal development. They do this by creating a positive, safe, encouraging, nurturing and professional environment where students take on Personal Responsibility In Developing Excellence (PRIDE). To this end, the Center exists to serve as a support for all students and communities by providing the connections to foster a culturally relevant transition, adjustment, persistence, achievement, and graduation from Washington State University.

There are about 57 cultures under the umbrella term “Asian American and Pacific Islander” with over 300 different languages spoken. Though each culture has its unique characteristics, we are united in the common struggle of adapting to Pullman away from the comforts that our cultures may have provided. Things such as family, food, climate, and community advocacy/support are vital to feeling comfortable in a college climate.
The AAPI Student Center recognizes the unique breadth of experiences within the 57 cultures, striving to accommodate students to feel at home at WSU. It is a place to relax, meet other students, and find useful information to survive in this stressful college environment.

The AASC’s mission is to provide an environment that is conducive to inspired learning for all students at Washington State University through academic, socio-cultural and career focused services. Although their services are culturally unique to the “Black” community, it is their hope that all members of the university embrace our rich history, language and life style.
