Washington State University has launched a new website designed to serve military-affiliated students across the university’s six campuses.
The WSU Veterans and Military-Affiliated Students homepage is the first of its kind, with the university formerly relying upon several websites to communicate with military-affiliated students on separate campuses.
The intention behind the new website is to unite WSU’s web assets relating to veteran and military-affiliated students, leading users to system and campus-specific information from a central location.
“The idea was to create an online ‘home base’ of sorts where current and future military-affiliated Cougs can get important information about educational benefits and other issues,” said Jaime Nolan, associate vice president for Community, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence. “The campuses still have separate websites, but now we have a site for military-affiliated students on all campuses too.”

Moments like these tend to bring about feelings of hopelessness among people and Bullock, who serves as president of WSU’s Black Faculty and Staff Association (BFSA), certainly shared those feelings. Then, on June 1, she read a letter addressing the injustices, that was signed by 18 WSU leaders across the system. The letter inspired her to take action.
