Washington State Capitol, by Onasill ~ Bill Badzo via Compfight
One of the officers of the Faculty Senate Executive Council is the faculty representative to the legislature. This year, our faculty representative is Sara Singleton, and you may have seen her reports in the senate minutes.
But did you know that Western also has an office of State Government Relations? A part of the University Relations and Community Development division, the office of State Government Relations works to pursue and promote Western’s policy objectives to the Washington State Legislature. The Office works closely with state legislators and Western administrators, faculty, students and staff. The Office also educates the campus community of legislation affecting the University.
