Higher education in our state is at a crossroads. In one direction lies a path of necessary innovation, economic vitality and limitless opportunities for a citizenry growing by leaps and bounds. In the other, closed doors and minds, economic decline and mounting despair. Which road is taken will be determined by us: the citizens of the state of Washington.

For 150 years - through wars, the gaining of statehood, the market's upticks and downturns -Washington's public universities have enriched the lives of people throughout our state, nation and world. Since their founding, our state's universities have been able to continually grow, thrive and evolve with critical financial support from the Legislature.
