OurWSU Vancouver Giving Campaign

Faculty and Staff Campaign

WSU Vancouver thrives when faculty and staff come together to support students and the programs that shape their success.

The OurWSU Vancouver Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign is an annual opportunity for employees to invest in the students and initiatives that make our campus a place to learn and grow. Your gift helps VanCougs stay enrolled and reach graduation with confidence.

Participation is the heart of this campaign every contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful difference. Together, faculty and staff provide essential support through scholarships, the Cougar Food Pantry, loaner laptops, and other programs that help students overcome financial barriers and succeed academically.

Support Our Students and Programs

Assisting VanCougs who face economic hardship is a top priority for the university. Whether you contribute to a specific department or a general student resource fund, your impact is immediate.
