Across Washington State University (WSU) spring is a time to recognize those who go above and beyond, making an impact in their programs, the university, and their communities. Along with the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (CPPS) awards, students, faculty and staff are also recognized by the WSU Spokane campus. It is with great pride the college announces the following CPPS faculty, staff, and student student awards as well as WSU Spokane Chancellor’s Excellence Awards received by CPPS students, faculty, and staff.
