New WSU Everett cuts the ribbon Tuesday

Tuesday’s schedule reflects more than wall to wall Cougar crimson and gray.

At 2 p.m., visitors can meet Scott Gordon. He’s provost and vice president of academic affairs at Eastern Washington University.

At 2:45 p.m., there’s a similar opportunity with Western Washington University President Sabah Randhawa. A year ago, he became Western’s 14th president. Western’s presence in Snohomish County dates back more than 30 years with programs offered by Woodring College of Education.

The 3:30 p.m. ribbon cutting is expected to include comments from several academic leaders, including Randhawa, WSU North Puget Sound at Everett Chancellor Paul Pitre, WSU President Kirk Schulz and Everett Community College President David Beyer as well as business and civic dignitaries.
