Meet Minnesota CougPAIGE DANIELSONELECTRICAL ENGINEERING | CLASS OF 2019Paige joined WSU’s Honors College, became a research assistant in a microchips lab, and spent three summers as an intern at hydropower facilities throughout the Northwest.

She also walked on to the University’s Pac-12 women’s rowing team, competed in the NCAA championships, and was named an Academic All-American—yet she says it’s the small moments she treasures most.

Now she’s starting a Ph.D., focusing her studies on electromagnetics, radio frequency, and microwave radiation.

W H E R E E X AC T LY I S P U L L M A N ?Glad you asked! Pullman is located in eastern Washington about 75 miles south of Spokane and eight miles west of Moscow, Idaho. We’re nestled among 10,000 square miles of beautiful rolling hills in an area called the Palouse. Our location is perfect for camping, hiking, skiing, kayaking, rafting, and more. We even have 35 miles of paved bike paths. Grab a fellow Coug, and go explore!

Meet Hawai‘i CougANTONIO BAKPSYCHOLOGY (PRE-MEDICINE)JUNIORFor Antonio, coming to WSU was a leap into the unknown. He had never been to the Northwest, but the promise of snow and the University’s strong science programs beckoned.

The leap paid off: he felt a sense of community the second he stepped onto campus. And when a friend asked for help starting a club, he jumped right in. As VP of the WSU Cookie Club, he helps students meld the therapeutic process and delicious results of baking with a variety of self-care and mental health resources.

WSU Cougs are creators, innovators, builders, and authors. We are motivators, self-starters, and scholars. We look to the stars while staying down-to-earth.

Above all else, we live our lives and pursue our studies with purpose. We come together from all over the world determined to change it for the better. And we’re not afraid to roll up our sleeves and lead the way.

WHO are the COUGS?

I love how many ways there are to get started in

research here. I’m working in a psychology lab right now,

learning the ropes. Next year I might even start a project

of my own.
