Who We Are
We the leaders of the Associated Students of Washington State University represent the student population of Washington State University. ASWSUTC seeks to promote the well being of students by respecting the integrity, dignity, and worth of individuals, with the acknowledgment of differences. The association provides services and opportunities to the student body while maintaining a professional environment. Allegiance to these ideas requires those in positions of leadership within ASWSUTC to refrain from and to discourage behaviors, which threaten the freedom and respect every individual deserves.
