113- A History of Wazzu (WSU)

The History Of The Evergreen State

Washington State University, which was first established in 1890 as a land-grant college, has developed into one of the most prestigious public research colleges in the United States.
The institution, which is known affectionately (if unofficially) as Wazzu, has expanded from one small building on a hillside in Pullman to a statewide system that includes a 600-acre main campus; branch campuses in Spokane, the Tri-Cities, and Vancouver; a network of 10 Regional Learning Centers that extend the university's educational reach to distant parts of the state; and Cooperative Extension offices in each of the Evergreen State's 39 counties, bringing the practical applications of the university WSU has always integrated the liberal arts and sciences with both practical education and community service, as this is in keeping with the land-grant tradition to which it belongs.
