ELLENSBURG, Wash. - As the conclusion of another school year draws closer, the student affairs office at Central Washington University reminds its students to have fun, but be responsible during the coming days and weeks.
“We respect our students’ right to celebrate, and we respect community standards,” explains Charlotte Tullos, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management. “We most certainly respect the authority of local law enforcement officers and fire fighters and urge university students to afford them the courtesy their respective badges deserve.”
Tullos reminds students that while the school year may be winding down, the student judicial code is always in effect. “This university prepares students for responsible citizenship and stewardship,” Tullos continues. “It does not tolerate unlawful behavior and does enforce appropriate disciplinary measures.”
“We realize this is a time to celebrate and have some fun,” Tullos concludes. “The overwhelming majority of our students have performed exceptionally well this year and deserve to celebrate their accomplishments.” To that end, the student affairs office offers the following advice: be safe, be smart, be careful and be responsible.
