WICHE’s anniversary celebration in Washington
took place on Higher Education Day, March 26, 2003, at the
State Capitol Campus in Olympia.
Some 150 guests attended the reception, including the presidents
of every one of the state’s four-year institutions,
as well as many of their trustees and regents. In addition,
many members of the Senate and House committees on higher
education were able to attend.
Brief remarks by state WICHE commissioners Marc Gaspard and
Sen. Don Carlson were followed by a presentation by Executive
Director David Longanecker. After the WICHE event, which was
catered by the high school students from the state’s
New Market Vocational Skills Center, most of the guests went
to a Higher Education Day reception at the governor's mansion. |
