There are many beautiful buildings on the Pullman campus. Personally, I love the red of the brick contrasted against either vivid green grass or freshly fallen snow. Walking at night and looking up to see the glowing red of the clock tower against the dark sky is both breathtaking and ominous. It reminds me of a blood moon.
My personal favorite building on campus would have to be Wilson-Short Hall. It feels like something you would see on an older campus. I could never say it is simply more beautiful than other buildings or modern-looking because it isn’t. But I believe it to be a good representation of what I expect when I think of academic buildings.
WSU engineering students Grace Harris and Alyssa Hovenkotter received the scholarships.
SEL created its scholarship program this year to support students in their engineering education and careers, said Stephanie Schweitzer, SEL senior vice president of marketing and communications. SEL hopes to award yearly scholarships.
“Engineers are needed around the world,” she said. “We’re interested, as an organization and as an industry, in increasing the pipeline [to have] more young people studying engineering and coming into the workforce.”
The program also provides mentorship, professional development and SEL seminar opportunities to the scholarship recipients, Schweitzer said.
Harris, senior electrical engineering major, said the scholarship helped her pay her student loans. She said the money will help her financially when she graduates this semester.
