New Edition of Crimson & Black Magazine Arriving in Mailboxes This Week
CWU's Health Sciences department is featured in the spring edition of Crimson & Black magazine, which is arriving in mailboxes this week.
After much anticipation, the spring 2022 edition of Crimson & Black magazine is now circulating on campus and showing up in mailboxes across the state.
The 37-page edition highlights the newly unveiled Health Sciences Building on the Ellensburg campus and also gives a special nod to CWU President Jim Wohlpart, who was officially installed this spring. The late arrival of the spring edition is due, in part, to the ceremony falling on May 19.
The magazine’s Health Sciences theme is reflected in articles about faculty, alumni, and students in the department, who are now under one roof on the west end of campus after being spread across various facilities for 13 years. The $60 million structure broke ground in January 2020 and was completed in March, just in time for spring quarter classes.
Other stories in the edition include:
