The Washington State University School of Music will host the first multinational Brazilian Jazz Festival on the Palouse Sept. 28 – Oct. 2 in Pullman. Led by Professor César Haas, the festival will feature internationally acclaimed Brazilian and American jazz artists, Três Mais and Nelson Faria.

The week-long festival includes performances, clinics, rehearsals, and talks that promote dissemination, teaching, and learning of Brazilian music at WSU and local schools. The internationally acclaimed guest artists will be working closely with WSU students and faculty on performances and clinics that involve several areas and ensembles from the School of Music, including the WSU Jazz Big Band and the WSU Symphony Orchestra.

Check out the festival schedule for more information. All events are free of charge and open to the community.

 “The festival will promote a richer understanding of Brazilian music and provide culturally informed study and interpretation of the music to help students develop musical skills and concepts they would not necessarily develop studying straight-ahead jazz,” Haas said. “It will also enrich their cultural awareness and knowledge of a musical culture that is integral to the jazz idiom.”

Três Mais, a new collaboration between American and Brazilian rhythm section musicians and educators, marries Brazilian music styles with American Jazz. The core rhythm section of Três Mais consists of three musicians and educators: WSU Professor and Brazilian guitarist César Haas, Brazilian drummer Graciliano Zambonim, and American jazz bassist Wayne Moose. While the trio is the heart of the group, for each performanceTrês Maisinvites featured artists that share the same passion for diversity and collaboration. 

For the inaugural year of the festival, the featured artist will be Brazilian guitarist, arranger, and educator Nelson Faria. One of the most important musicians in Brazil, he has released 12 solo CDs, six books (two in the U.S., Japan, Brazil, and Italy), and he has also recorded as guitar player and/or arranger or producer over 200 CDs by Brazilian and international artists. Faria and other guest artists will perform concerts at WSU, teach clinics, and record a live video performance at WSU Recording Studios to be released on YouTube and other streaming platforms.

Aside from the concerts, clinics, and open rehearsals, Haas will be featured on Faria’s podcast on YouTube Um Café Lá em Casa (Coffee at my Place), where guests talk about their musical careers in an informal setting and jam with the host. The show is popular both in Brazil and internationally and has videos with more than 700 thousand views, featuring artists of high caliber such as Mike Stern, João Bosco, and Yamandú Costa.

Amid a nationwide decline in local journalism, Washington State University’s Edward R. Murrow College of Communication is leading a new research initiative to assess the health of Washington’s local news industry.

Funded as part of a Washington State Legislature effort to support local news, the project will map the state’s local news landscape by creating a comprehensive database of local news outlets. Work is underway to catalogue hundreds of outlets and assess their capacity to produce high-quality news coverage of their communities by surveying news organizations across the state.

The study will help identify which Washington communities lack access to local news, providing critical information to inform future efforts by policymakers, news organizations, and foundations to reinvigorate the industry.

“Local news is central to a healthy democracy,” said Research Director Jennifer Henrichsen, an assistant professor in the Murrow College and member of the national Local News Impact Consortium. “This database will serve as a foundation for evaluating whether local news sources are fulfilling the critical information needs of Washington residents, allowing them to engage with their communities and fully participate in civic and political life.”

Critical information needs are the types of information necessary for navigating everyday life, including health, civic life, politics, education, transportation, environment, economy, and emergencies, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). When local news outlets shrink and close, communities’ critical information needs go unmet and civic and political participation decline.

The database will help evaluate whether local news sources are fulfilling the critical information needs of Washington residents, allowing them to engage with their communities and fully participate in civic and political life.

Washington has lost 20% of its local newspapers in the past two decades, and the state’s rural areas in particular tend to lack access to traditional news sources, reports from the League of Women Voters of Washington and the Murrow Rural Information Initiative have found.

Building on these studies, the Murrow College’s project will be the first to create a comprehensive snapshot of the state’s local news landscape. An interactive database of newspapers, digital outlets, and radio and TV stations will be made publicly available in a report for the state legislature’s 2025 session.

“Input from Washington news organizations has been invaluable to this research. We encourage organizations that have received a survey to participate in the study so that this database accurately reflects where more investment in the industry is needed,” said Henrichsen.

The research project is part of a $2.4 million state investment in the Murrow News Fellowship, a program that aims to increase news coverage of civic affairs in Washington communities by pairing early-career journalists with local newsrooms. To date, the program has placed 16 fellows with news organizations across Washington.

“This program represents an innovative approach to addressing the local news crisis facing Washington communities,” said Benjamin Shors, program director and chair of the Department of Media and Journalism Production. “By identifying gaps in the current local news landscape and placing journalism fellows in the communities where they are needed most, we aim to improve the lives of Washingtonians and strengthen our democracy.”

Assistant Professor of Piano Yoon-Wha Roh is the first winner of the George and Joan Berry Faculty Success Grant, which was awarded over the summer.

An internationally acclaimed piano soloist, Roh was selected from a pool of 33 highly qualified junior faculty for the $5,000 award that may be used to cover expenses supporting scholarship and research activities, including funding a graduate student assistant, data collection, lab equipment, related travel, and other needs.

Roh has already put the funding to good use, covering travel expenses for an international performance earlier this year with the Musica Sinfonietta in Penang, Malaysia (performing Chopin’s first piano concerto) and an upcoming October performance with the Jeonju Philharmonic Orchestra in Jeonju, South Korea (performing the Beethoven Concerto No. 4).

In addition to her recent and upcoming performances on the international stage, Roh has performed as a soloist with the Saint Petersburg (Russia) Philharmonic Orchestra, the Seoul National Symphony Orchestra, and the New York Classical Symphony Orchestra, to name a few.

“What pushed Roh’s proposal application to the top were her international performances and master workshops that not only advance her career as a pianist and as a teacher but also promote WSU on the international scene,” said Jennifer Thigpen, associate professor of history and director of WSU ADVANCE, adding that the selection committee was amazed by the truly high quality of the 33 applications they received.

For Roh, winning the grant is part of the continuous process of learning and achieving mastery she has pursued throughout her career.

“Now I am sharing with my students what I learned,” said Roh, who attended Yonsei University in South Korea and earned advanced degrees in the U.S. at the New England Conservatory of Music and other top institutions.

Residents of the Palouse will have the opportunity to see Roh perform at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at Bryan Hall Theatre. She will play Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4, Op. 58, with the WSU Symphony Orchestra. Admission is free.

George and Joan Berry established the faculty success grant after conversations with deans and faculty members over their years of giving — which have included endowed professorships in engineering, arts and sciences, and education, among other gifts.

“We learned that junior faculty had difficulty advancing their careers as a result of few research and scholarly funding opportunities for them, so we wanted to fill that need,” said Joan Berry.

Berry also wanted to provide support for junior women faculty — as well as underrepresented faculty — including those who have had to divide their time between motherhood and academic pursuits.

Creating paths for faculty success

The Berry Grant is under the guidance of WSU ADVANCE in the Provost’s office, which provides institutional support to increase the representation of women and historically under-represented faculty in all disciplines.

“We were initially funded by a National Science Foundation grant for such junior faculty opportunities,” said Thigpen. “But the need is great, and the Berry Grant will help provide additional opportunities for junior faculty.”

For Thigpen, the large number of deserving proposals was a call to action to make additional funding available.

“Fortunately, our budget allowed us to provide grant money for two additional faculty members,” she said.

Those are Arezoo Zare, associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering, and Darryl Singleton, assistant professor of Black music in America and social justice.

“The need is great at WSU for more funding opportunities for our talented junior faculty so they can have those breakthrough moments that Professor Roh is now having in her career,” Thigpen said.

With the presidential election just weeks away, Washington State University campuses across the system are busy educating students about the democratic process, introducing them to the issues and candidates, and helping them register to vote.

“People are energized right now,” said Ben Calabretta, director of the Center for Civic Engagement (CCE). “We can see it during our interactions with students — they are excited to participate in the election.”

Their excitement does not always translate into knowing how to participate. For many students, this election will be their first time voting and they are unfamiliar with the process. Calabretta said students often have questions about where they can access voter registration forms, which address they should use on the form — their school address or permanent address, what type of identification they need, and where can they drop off their ballot.

To help address these questions and many more like them, Calabretta coordinates the Cougs Vote Campaign, which brings together students, faculty, and staff from across the system who are planning and implementing voter education activities and programs. Interactions with students are taking place in residence halls, classrooms, union buildings, and student organization meetings.

Zoe Pfeifer, the director of legislative affairs for the Associated Student of Washington State University Tri-Cities is organizing monthly voter registration drives, and has a special event planned for Oct. 10 when students can meet and talk with six congressional members from their district.

“The purpose of this event is to help students understand that those who represent them are people, too, and it is okay to reach out to them,” Pfeifer said.

While the presidential election is getting most of the attention, T Rozhkova, the director of internal legislative affairs for the Associated Students of Washington State University Vancouver, wants students to know that their votes can make a big difference at the local level. Pointing to the recent Washington primary election, a recount was needed in the Commissioner for Public Lands race because the difference between second and third place was less than 50 votes.

“Many students believe their votes don’t matter,” said Rozhkova. “We want to educate students on how their votes hold more value the more local you get.”

Rozhkova and his team are planning a Floats for Votes gathering on Oct. 22, 11 a.m., in Firstenberg Commons, that will bring together students, and local and state legislative candidates. Pizza, floats, and swag will be provided.

PULLMAN, Wash. — To appeal to the majority of consumers, winemakers may want to pay as much attention to what’s on the bottle as what’s in it.

A three-part experimental study led by Washington State University researchers found that women were more inclined to purchase wine that had labels with feminine gender cues. The more strongly the participants identified with other women, a phenomenon called “in-group identification,” the greater this effect was. A feminine label also influenced their expectation that they would like the wine better.

With women representing 59% of U.S. wine consumers, the male-dominated field of winemaking might want to pay attention to the perceptions of this understudied group, said Ruiying Cai, lead author of the paper in the International Journal of Hospitality Management.  

“When you look at the market segments, women are actually purchasing a lot of wine. They are a large group,” said Cai, an assistant professor with WSU’s Carson College of Business. “We found that feminine cues speak to women consumers. They have more favorable attitudes toward the label and the wine itself. They were also expecting their overall sensory experience to be better, and they were more likely to purchase the wine.”

Gender cues often rely on stereotypes, and in initial tests for this research, a group of 90 women rated wine labels as more masculine when they featured rugged animals like wolves and stags as well as portraits of men. They designated labels as feminine that had cute animals, flowers and female portraits. Labels with castles and bunches of grapes were seen as neutral.

In two online experiments, a total of 324 women were shown fictitious wines with labels designed with these gendered cues. The participants showed higher intention to buy wines with a feminine label, such as a woman holding flowers, as opposed to a wine with a masculine label, such as a bulldog in a spiked collar. When asked about the expected sensory experience, they rated their liking of every sensory aspect higher, including the color, taste, aroma and aftertaste.

The participant’s level of wine expertise moderated their taste expectations but surprisingly, not their purchase intentions.

“Whether they were knowledgeable or less knowledgeable about wine, when they saw those feminine cues, they had a higher intention to buy the wine. The gender cue influence was so strong, it trumped the effect of that knowledge,” said co-author Christina Chi, a professor at WSU’s Carson College of Business.

A third experiment with another set of 138 women involved a taste test — also with a surprising finding. Researchers gave bottles of the same red wine with one of the gendered labels. More women who tasted the feminine-labeled wine ranked it higher in fruit flavors such as red current and blueberry than those who tasted the same wine with a masculine-cued label — and despite the fact those flavors were not dominant components in that particular wine. Women connected more mineral flavors with the masculine-labelled wine.

However, the participants who tasted the feminine-labelled wine reported liking it less than the women who tasted the masculine-labelled wines. The authors said this could be a result of the incongruence between the expected flavor influenced by the feminine label and the actual taste of the wine sample, which had a medium body, tannin and alcohol level.

Few studies have focused on the perceptions of women wine consumers in a field where 82% of the winemakers are men. That lack of perspective is very apparent on wine aisles, said Chi, noting that many vintners seem to favor masculine imagery like stallions, bulls and roosters — and one brand even features a prisoner in a jail cell.

“When designing the labels, winemakers should involve more women in the process, and it’s highly advisable to pilot test the labels among consumers for gender cues,” she said.

In addition to Cai and Chi, co-authors on this study include recent WSU graduate Demi Deng now at Auburn University and Robert Harrington of WSU.

The national Council on Library and Information Resources has awarded $334,000 to Washington State University, institutional partners, and nine Native American nations to extend their work advancing collaborative curation between Native communities and non-Native repositories.

The funding is part of CLIR’s “Digitizing Hidden Collections: Amplifying Unheard Voices” grant program for digitizing rare and unique content stewarded by collecting organizations in the United States and Canada. Launched in 2021, the program supports efforts to digitize materials that “deepen public understanding of the histories of people of color and other communities and populations whose work, experiences, and perspectives have been insufficiently recognized or unattended,” according to the CLIR website.

WSU participants in the project are the WSU Libraries’ Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation, and Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections.

Kim Christen, WSU associate vice chancellor for research advancement and partnerships, and Alex Merrill, head of WSU Libraries’ systems and technical operations, started the project in 2019 to reconnect Native communities with collections at WSU and other non-Native repositories. The project team is now digitizing the collections identified by tribal partners at multiple repositories and returning the content to them via the Plateau Peoples’ Web Portal and the Native Northwest Portal (forthcoming).

Tribal representatives view each item to determine access levels (public/community only) and make metadata corrections. They also add their own community knowledge to the record, said Joelle Birano, one of the project’s organizers. The portal is updated with tribal feedback, and corrections are sent to staff at the repositories so they can update their collections.

“Our project is focused on digital repatriation to tribal nations,” Birano said. “The goal is for tribes to have increased access and control over their tribal knowledge and materials, even if they are distant from the physical collections, and for repositories to build trust with tribes and have more accurately described collections.”

One example of how the process works is represented by an undated image from MASC’s Historic Photograph Collection on the Plateau Peoples’ Web Portal. The Spokane Tribe record describes the photo as being likely taken at a public gathering or county event, pointing out the megaphone and modern band drum. The tribal partner also noted that the Native American men pictured were not chiefs, as indicated in the title.

“The CLIR grant is important to the Spokane Tribe because it affords the archives and collections staff the opportunity to discover more about our archival collection and build the knowledge base about the tribe’s historic past,” said Bobbi Rose, collections assistant for the Spokane Tribe Preservation Program. “It also is allowing our program to include our community, which is sparking a happiness within their hearts to remember our past ancestors. The enhanced records generated through the work completed under the CLIR grant aids in the overall preservation of the Spokane Tribe’s cultural resources that benefit current and future generations of tribal members.”

In addition to WSU, other participants in the CLIR-funded project include the American Philosophical Society; National Museum of the American Indian; University of Washington; and the Native American nations of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe (Idaho), Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (Washington), Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (Montana), Spokane Tribe of Indians (Washington), Confederated Tribes of Warm Spring (Oregon), Nimíipuu (Nez Perce) Tribe (Idaho), Quinault Indian Nation (Washington), Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (Washington), and Yakama Nation (Washington).

Faculty at Washington State University Vancouver have received a $2.6 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to help close racial gaps in STEM education by creating better paths for underrepresented groups to become STEM teachers.

Kristin Lesseig, associate professor of mathematics and science education within the College of Education, is the principal investigator for the project, “Racial Equity in STEM Starts with Teacher Education.” Co-investigators of the project include Shameem Rakha and Jessica Masterson, both associate professors in the College of Education.

The project is responding to a stark disparity in Washington state’s educational workforce. While students of color make up nearly 50% of the state’s K–12 population, only 14% of teachers are from similar backgrounds, according to the 2023–24 Washington State Report Card demographic data. Lesseig said she and her team aim to explore why teacher preparation programs have failed to keep pace with the growing diversity of the “We cannot disrupt this problematic racial mismatch in the K–12 classroom without addressing the policies and practices that foster disparities in our teacher preparation programs,” Lesseig said.

The three-year exploratory project includes five regional teams, with WSU Vancouver acting as the primary research hub. Partner institutions include Eastern Washington University, Central Washington University, Seattle Pacific University, and Western Washington University, with the University of Washington Tacoma overseeing a Diversity Consulting Group in an advisory role. WSU Vancouver is slated to receive $604,643 of the total $2.6 million to lead research efforts.

In the first year, regional teams will conduct listening sessions with current students, alumni, and community members, particularly those from historically marginalized groups. These sessions will focus on identifying barriers to entering STEM teaching programs and understanding local community needs.

The second year will see the teams deepen their engagement with local communities, collaborating with leaders and partners to identify specific challenges and opportunities in each region. This collaborative effort will culminate in action plans aimed at revising policies and structures within teacher preparation programs to better support diverse candidates.

“Our goal is that this project will generate new knowledge about collaborative learning through a multi-institutional statewide coalition,” Lesseig said. “Anticipated impacts include new recruitment and retention models for diversifying STEM teaching, new curricula to infuse culturally sustaining pedagogy into STEM teacher preparation, and new equity-minded structures and policies to guide program decisions.”

Beyond the academic research, Lesseig said the project aims to create lasting community partnerships. Members of marginalized groups will be invited to join the project’s leadership team, contributing directly to the development and implementation of strategies for addressing racial inequities in STEM education.

A special education professor at Washington State University is helping with national efforts to improve job opportunities and fair pay for people with disabilities.

Josh Taylor with WSU’s College of Education visited Capitol Hill this spring to advocate for new bi-partisan legislation introduced in Congress that would help accomplish those goals. Among other things, the proposal would end the practice of paying people with disabilities less than their peers while also providing funding to help states and organizations switch to proven methods that ensure fair job opportunities for workers with disabilities.

“We don’t pigeonhole any other group into areas of jobs or careers they’re not good at,” Taylor said. “But for too long we’ve limited people with disabilities to jobs that aren’t suited for their strengths, as well as paid them wages that reflect disrespect for their capability of benefitting businesses in their communities.”

Taylor was representing the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) in their Division on Career Development and Transition (DCDT), where he serves as the chair for its policy and advocacy committee.

Taylor said it’s important to give individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to use their strengths to contribute to their communities. He said it’s vital that this be done in strength-based ways.

Fellow WSU special education researcher Holly Whittenburg said decades of research have identified successful approaches to helping people with disabilities, including those with significant support needs, in finding and maintaining employment.

“We know that supported and customized employment interventions work in helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are most often impacted by subminimum wages,” Whittenburg said.

Although advocating for the legislation as private individuals, WSU’s special education faculty have earned national recognition for the university’s pioneering programs that advance educational and other opportunities for disabled students.

“Competitive integrated employment means real pay for real work in the community alongside folks without disabilities,” Taylor said, highlighting how this shift is crucial for giving people with disabilities equal pay and job opportunities.

The Capitol visit came at a pivotal time as Congress is reviewing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which just celebrated its 10th anniversary. Taylor said WIOA aims to help students with disabilities prepare for the workforce, but there are ongoing challenges in implementing these services effectively.

“These are big systemic changes that are complicated to implement in practice,” Taylor says. “The research we’ve conducted shows that many states and communities are starting and growing innovative approaches to improving outcomes for this group, but these changes require resetting expectations, building relationships with new partners and agencies, developing research-based programming, and cultivating relationships with businesses — to name just a few.”

The first time Ruth Gregory encountered the famous cross-dressing female pirate Anne Bonny, the 18th-century swashbuckler was about two inches tall and made of plastic.

That’s because Gregory, an associate professor in Washington State University’s Digital Technologies and Culture Program, found an action figure of Bonny at a hobby shop. Intrigued by the idea of a female pirate being immortalized in toy form, she immediately bought it.

“I was like, wait — what? There was a female pirate, and she’s an action figure?” Gregory said. “So, I bought the action figure, and I still have it. Then I started researching her to see if I could find more information.”

Gregory’s interest in Bonny quickly evolved, and eventually, she decided to write a screenplay about the pirate’s life. That screenplay, Anne Bonny, Pirate, recently made it to the second round of the Austin Film Festival screenwriting competition, a distinction achieved by only 20% of more than 10,000 submissions. It also won the Best of Competition award for Faculty Narrative Feature Scripting at the 2024 Broadcast Educator’s Award in April.

In Gregory’s screenplay, Bonny’s adventures unfold during the golden age of piracy. She escapes an arranged marriage and joins the crew of the infamous pirate Calico Jack by cross-dressing as a man. Bonny’s story also features a friendship with another female pirate, Mary Read, who identifies as non-binary and goes by Em. The narrative eventually leads to the capture of Bonny, Jack, and Em — culminating in Jack’s execution and Em’s death in prison. Bonny, however, escapes with the help of Jack’s mother, Isabel, who is later revealed as the narrator of the screenplay, telling Bonny’s story to her young daughter, Mary.

Bonny’s character is no stranger to cinema. She has appeared in shows including the 2014 series Black Sails and the 2022 series Our Flag Means Death, where she was portrayed by Minnie Driver. However, Bonny has never been featured in a leading role in a screenplay, a gap Gregory aimed to fill.

Gregory drew on historical accounts, popular fiction, and her imagination to portray Bonny as a woman who saw life on the high seas as a more exciting alternative to an arranged marriage with an older man. The screenplay’s climax comes when Bonny cheats the hangman’s noose by claiming to be pregnant, a fact supported by historical accounts. However, Bonny’s fate after that is a mystery — one that Gregory takes creative liberty to explore.

“Mary Read has a grave in Jamaica, but Anne Bonny just kind of disappears from history, so it’s fun to imagine what might have happened to her,” Gregory said.

Gregory has an MFA in film and spent years working in filmmaking, though she has mostly focused on the production side of the industry. This is the first screenplay she has submitted to the Austin Film Festival, and the festival organizers were surprised to learn that it was her first submission, given her success in reaching the second round.

Gregory’s goal with her work is to tell stories about marginalized figures, and Anne Bonny’s story is no exception.

“She’s unique in that she was doing things women just weren’t doing at the time — like piracy, cross-dressing, and living on her own terms, free from the typical expectations of marriage and family,” she said. “That’s what drew me to her.”

While she has plans to turn the screenplay into a film, Gregory acknowledged that it’s a challenging project.

“I want to make the biggest budget film possible on the smallest scale — though there are limitations, especially since pirate ships aren’t cheap to come by,” she said.

If she were to cast Anne Bonny, Gregory already has her pick: Erin Kellyman, an actress known for her strong, nuanced portrayals of powerful women.

Elizabeth Sandy was brought up in a family where money was tight. She worked two jobs to pay for the entirety of her undergraduate tenure at WSU Tri-Cities and was worried about the cost of veterinary school.

After earning the $140,000 Mike Dunn DVM Veterinary Student Scholarship, the financial burden of veterinary school is in the rearview — Sandy’s veterinary education is now paid in full.

“I definitely shed some tears because I wasn’t expecting to get it,” Sandy said. “It feels amazing because paying for school was a big worry of mine. I worked two jobs throughout my undergraduate career to support myself. I knew I was going to have to take out loans for veterinary school, so this scholarship, it’s a huge relief.”

The Mike Dunn, DVM Veterinary Student Scholarship — a nationally competitive scholarship — is made possible by Becky Godchaux, an animal owner and lover who created the scholarship in her veterinarian’s name. The scholarship, in just its first year, is awarded to two veterinary students in the U.S. through the VIN Foundation, but it is much more than a scholarship to Sandy.

“It’s not just a scholarship but a representation of my journey and the obstacles I’ve overcome,” she said.

The stress of paying for veterinary school wasn’t the first burden Sandy conquered on her path to a white coat. The first-year veterinary student and WSU Tri-Cities alumna is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The hidden disability causes intense thoughts and feelings that can be disturbing for individuals and can make them recall traumatic events long after such an event has taken place.

Sandy learned to lean on a German shepherd puppy named Neo to cope with her disability during her undergraduate tenure.

Training the service dog was nothing new to Sandy. She raised and trained 15 service dogs for veterans with PTSD in the Tri-Cities area before Neo. It wasn’t until after Neo’s first wellness exam when he was diagnosed with an inherited ventricular arrhythmia, that she gained the confidence to believe she fit in the veterinary field.

Neo’s diagnosis meant, without treatment, the puppy could experience a cardiac event at a young age that could result in sudden death.

But when Neo thrived in the face of adversity, Sandy knew she could too.

“I began to think, ‘if Neo can do this, I can too,’” she said. “My passion to obtain my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine was stronger than ever.”

Sandy has carried that confidence, bolstered with some help from her mentor veterinarian Dr. Todd Coleman (‘04 DVM) of Pet Medical Center of Pasco, into her first year of veterinary school at WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

Now, in addition to earning her veterinary degree, she wants to show students like her that achieving their dreams is possible.

“As an individual who identifies as both disabled and LGBTQ+, I have yet to encounter a veterinarian from either community,” she said. “In my veterinary program, I want to serve as a role model and mentor for both communities and seek to inspire individuals who question their capacity to achieve their veterinary ambitions due to a lack of visible diversity within the profession.”
