WSU Prez to visit Colfax today

Washington State University President Elson Floyd will be in Colfax today, Thursday, to discuss the university’s impact on Whitman County’s economy.

The stop is part of a statewide tour to hear from business leaders on the quality of WSU graduates, which programs need to be given more emphasis and which need less.

Floyd begins his Colfax stop at the Methodist Church, where he will speak at the Rotary Club’s noon luncheon.

At 4 p.m., the president will hold a meeting with local political and business leaders in the Public Service Building auditorium.

Floyd will then hold a town hall meeting at Hill Ray Plaza to hear from citizens from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
