Progression 2024: Recap & Event Photography

Following completion of their first college semester, more than 200 high-achieving, first-year students at WSU Pullman were invited to the Distinguished Scholarships Progression in January 2024.
The goal was to introduce opportunities that could expand their progression to becoming well-rounded scholars. Twenty tables, led by guest experts, were organized into four categories of opportunities, those of effort, engagement, initiative, and leadership. Progression events have been held for nearly a decade, and have helped more than 1,500 students envision the personal and professional benefits of adding a breadth of experiences to their college portfolios.
