July 16, 2015 meeting notes


Twenty-one members were present and heard a presentation from Dr. Mary Cullinan, President of EWU.  She told us about some university highlights of the last year:  EWU hosted the national undergraduate research symposium, hosted regional FIRST robotics competition for high school students and sponsored author Jared Diamond's presentation in Spokane.  She noted that EWU has a unique stuttering clinic which is now 50 years old and has helped numerous people overcome stuttering.  Tuition last year was $7,200, the lowest for state four year universities, and will decrease by 5% in 2015-16 and by 20% in 2016-17.  Future plans call for replacing the Science Building, which is the oldest science building at a state university in Washington.
