Associated Students of Washington State University Events Funding
Associated Students of Washington State University Events Funding
The purpose of this project is to raise funds for ASWSU Health Sciences and the events they host for student life and the community.
The purpose of this project is to raise funds for ASWSU Health Sciences and the events they host for student life and the community. ASWSU Health Sciences The Associated Students of Washington State University (ASWSUHS) is a student organization representing the interests of all WSU Spokane Health Sciences Students. The colleges on our campus include medicine, pharmacy, speech and hearing sciences, nutrition and exercise physiology, and nursing. ASWSUHS ensures that students' needs are heard both on and off campus. Recent budget deficits have led us to ask the cougar community for help in ensuring that we can still have events for students that promote education, inclusivity, and networking. Some of the events that we would like to highlight include the AWSUHS spring health fair. This is typically held in a community center and brings all colleges together to provide health outreach in the community. We provide services like vaccinations, health education, blood pressure readings, STI screenings, diet and exercise plans, mobility and agility testing, radon testing kits, fentanyl testing strips, and hearing loss tests. All of these are free services (assuming vaccinations are covered with insurance) and ensure that WSU Spokane is represented professionally. It brings awareness to our community that we are a trusted resource that is here for them. Another goal we have is to overcome the burden of professional clothing costs. Oftentimes students struggle to afford business professional items and we would like to ensure that is not a challenge for individuals anymore. We hope to start a clothing closet which would require items such as clothing racks and hangers to get this started and hope to offer donated clothing from WSU personnel and community members. Lastly, it is essential that student voices are heard in Olympia which is why ASWSUHS goes to the capital every year to voice the needs of students on our campus. With funding at risk it is more important now than ever to help politicians relate to students and the struggles that we face. The funding for this annual trip was not allocated to us this year and we hope to raise money so we can represent WSU Spokane at the highest state level for lobbying efforts. While these are just a few of the events that we would like to raise money for, any excess funds we would like to host for student engagement events such as the earth day plant and seed swap which gives students free plants for Earth day and promotes emotional well being and strengthens our community. With sincere gratitude AWSUHS thanks you for your consideration in donating to support our students.

Help Revive Chemistry Club!
Help Revive Chemistry Club!
Support the revival of Chemistry Club!
Support the revival of Chemistry Club! Chemistry Club The Chemistry club is an academic club that aims to spread the excitement of chemistry through events, outreach, and demonstrations! We have participated in the last two Kids Science and Engineering Days with interactive and informational chemistry demonstrations. Some of the demos we have done for this event include showing kids how to safely shrink balloons in liquid nitrogen to describe pressure and energy, a coloring activity on coffee filters to teach about chromatography, and mixing household products with red cabbage juice to show pH changes. We also always try to help with American Chemical Society events like the Chemical Olympiad and National Chemistry Week. One of the goals of the club is to support the students at WSU who are interested in chemistry. One way we aim to do this is through planning more professional development events to help undergraduates find research labs to join. Another goal is to host fun events that offer valuable learning opportunities on teaching chemistry to the public and safety procedures for handling chemicals. We hope to develop a couple of events that can be held annually for everyone to look forward to. This is something we have been working on: creating a Halloween demonstration event for club members. The aim is to have some events that are also open to the general public. This will be our third year working to revitalize the club. First, we worked on gathering members and starting to create a strong foundation. Now, we are working on evolving into a long-lasting club. Your support will help to keep the Chemistry Club growing! All donations will go towards maintaining and creating new events for the community and students! You will be making an investment in the future of chemistry students at WSU. Thank you!

Chem-E-Car Project
Chem-E-Car is a multidisciplinary project where students design a shoebox-sized car that runs and stops on a chemical reaction.
Chem-E-Car is a multidisciplinary project where students design a shoebox-sized car that runs and stops on a chemical reaction. AIChE The AIChE Chem-E-Car competition is an engineering design challenge that tasks university teams with designing, constructing, and safely operating a small, shoebox-sized, vehicle that is powered and stopped exclusively by chemical reactions. The objective is not maximum speed, but design, creativity, safety, accuracy, and precision. Each component of the car is split between 4 teams: Circuitry, Assembly, Power, and Stopping Reaction Team. Circuitry Team: Designs and builds the electronic circuits that control the car system. They also program the circuit themselves. Assembly Team — Integrates all mechanical and structural components of the car, including 3D-printed parts, reaction vessels, chassis stability, and ensuring that the design is compliant with AIChE rules. Power Team — Develops, tests, and optimizes the chemical reaction that generates voltage and current to drive the vehicle. This team ensures a consistent and safe starting reaction on race day. Stopping Reaction Team — Designs and calibrates the independent chemical reaction that stops the car precisely and accurately at the target distance. This team performs multiple experiments to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and adherence to safety standards. Every sub-team is important to the overall performance of the car. They are all integral to the safety, technical rigor, innovation, and performance on race day. Beyond the race itself, the competition helps our member develop professional skills including technical documentation, hazard analysis, team coordination, collaboration, knowledge presentation, and real-world application of chemical engineering principles under constraints identical to those encountered in industry. Your help allows for Cougs to express their creativity and use the chemical engineering concepts they learn in class to work on a competitive and real-world design project. In addition, our chapter will be hosting the regional AIChE Conference this year at WSU. This will attract professionals, academics, and students from all over the PNW to our campus. Your contribution will have a particularly significant impact as we strive to successfully host this important conference event. We want WSU to shine and winning this competition can show the innovation and technical performance of our Cougs.

Be part of history! Support WSU Everett's first sports team. Your donation provides our soccer club with registration fees, field time and uniforms. WSU Everett Indoor Soccer Club WSU Everett Soccer Club is making history as the first-ever sports team on our campus. Our team gets together every Thursday evening, warm up and head to the indoor soccer field. We're a coed club bringing together men and women from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, united by our love for soccer. We even have some of our instructors in the team. Being from such varied walks of life makes us stronger and we learn from each other on and off the field. Our captain and founder saw an opportunity to create something special where students could stay active, build community, and represent WSU Everett with pride. We want to expand and join more leagues to give our players more opportunities to compete and grow. Right now, registration fees, equipment costs, and field time expenses are holding us back. There are so many students on our campus and athletes who played in high school, international students who grew up with soccer, and people who just want to be part of a team. Every semester, we create a team that brings our community together and puts our campus on the map. These games celebrate our diversity, showcase our talent, and prove that WSU Everett has what it takes to compete. But this isn't just about winning games. Studies show that university students who work out at least once a week have better grades and better mental health. Our Thursday evening sessions are crucial to our well-being; Playing soccer reduces anxiety, stress, and depression by releasing endorphins, natural mood elevators that help us feel good and stay focused on our studies. Your donation to the WSU Everett Soccer Club helps cover league registration fees, equipment, and field time so we can compete in more leagues. You're also investing in student wellness and academic success; Because when we play, we perform better in the classroom too. Thank you. Come watch us every Thursday at Arena Sports Mill Creek, spread the word about WSU Everett's first sports team, and donate today. Most importantly, you're helping us write the first chapter of athletic history on this campus and showing future Cougs what's possible when we come together.You can find us on social media and keep up with our updates through our Instagram(@FCEverCoug) and X(@FCEverCoug).

Our club needs new computers for our lab! We host networks for simulated attack/defense scenarios. Help fund hands-on cybersecurity education. WSU Cybersecurity Group WSU Cybersecurity Group (CSG) is dedicated to helping students get hands-on experience they wouldn't otherwise have access to. The ability to exploit permissions in enterprise networks or hack Wi-Fi passwords are critical skills for any cybersecurity professional or hobbyist, and yet it's difficult to practice these techniques outside of a safe and legal environment. CSG provides that environment, and creates structured exercises to teach cybersecurity enthusiasts of all skill levels. We gained access to our future lab in Fall 2025, and have been building it ever since without any formal funding. With help from the with the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, we've managed to collect tech waste that was discarded or going unused. With this we created a functional proof of concept lab, but we're currently reliant on scavenged, decades-old technology. This prevents us from doing anything technically intensive on the lab computers. With your help, we can upgrade our lab's computers to modern standards. This will grant our exercise developers a much wider range of capabilities. We could run advanced software for network penetration testing, password cracking, software reverse engineering, and more. Furthermore, it would allow us to purchase hardware to expand our exercises to other fields of cybersecurity such as wireless communications and Bluetooth. Cybersecurity is a wide field with many tools to use, and giving students access to these tools provides them with an invaluable learning and professional development opportunity. Help us bring hands-on cyber education to WSU!

WSU-V IEEE Drone Race
The second annual IEEE drone race is a student-led building of drones from start to finish, with a competition between drone teams at the end of the year.
The second annual IEEE drone race is a student-led building of drones from start to finish, with a competition between drone teams at the end of the year. WSU-V IEEE Club The WSU-V IEEE Annual Drone Race is a student-led project inspired by Dr. Lynch's solar car race. 3-4 teams of 5-12 students each are given a budget by the IEEE club of $500-700. They are then tasked with prototyping their drone, designating their roles, creating a timeline, building a budget proposal with their chosen parts, collaborating with their team, assembling their drone, testing and then racing their drone. The building of the drones is done over the course of the academic year, with the race held after spring finals week. Drone race is held on the WSU-V campus fields, allowing for students, student families, faculty, or anyone in the community to join us for the race! This project teaches students how to manage time, think creatively, test their mechanical and electrical skills, collaborate with others for a common goal, manage a budget and overcome challenges. Not only does this project benefit the students, but also allows students to connect with faculty during the build process and during race day, where faculty judge the drones based on a given criteria. The funds donated to this Cougstarter up to our goal will be used for drone race, any additional funds over our requested amount will be used for a variety of club events and projects.

Momentum in Motion: Flow Arts for Creativity and Community!
Momentum in Motion: Flow Arts for Creativity and Community!
Momentum In Motion is helping acquire props so individuals can come to learn, discover, play, and grow through freedom of expression in flow arts!
Momentum In Motion is helping acquire props so individuals can come to learn, discover, play, and grow through freedom of expression in flow arts! Flow and Circus Club Flow and Circus Club is a community driven and focused club built around the magic of flow and circus arts where anyone can come to engage in a unique combination of art, dance, and freedom of expression. Being flow and circus artists in a relatively unknown field, members in this type of expression often find it hard to find a community where they can share, play, and learn together. In addition, acquiring props for manipulation can be expensive which makes it even harder to find people and gather people who might find and share a similar passion for this amazing art form.Our president and founder Inan Harsh, was one such individual who would never have found this personal and life changing passion if it were not for chance and enrollment at TESC, where he came across a flow and circus club in Olympia where props were provided with individuals who taught and shared their skills. Fast forward ten years and he is now trying to spread that love and opportunity with the amazing students and community at Pullmans WSU Campus! Every Tuesday (and hopefully more soon!) Flow and Circus Club gathers to share, play, and flow during our flow jams to grow as individuals and spread awareness of Flow arts can do for the community. Right now we are a small and upcoming club trying to make a big difference on the community and individuals!Your donation to Flow and Circus Club will go to new props and prop materials to make for our club to manipulate and learn on, all of which will be purchased by local and semi local individual artists who are experts in their field of prop manipulation. Including balls, clubs, Rope darts, staffs, poi, and various other props you have probably never heard of! We thank you in advance for helping change peoples lives and encourage health and growth through art and freedom of expression!

Scrubs for pre-PAs aims to fundraise to buy scrubs for pre-PA students to be used in their patient care requirement! Pre-PA Club The Pre-Physician Assistant (PA) Club at Washington State University is a student-led organization that supports aspiring PAs through educational events, skill-building workshops, and professional networking. Our mission is to provide resources for students in preparation for the rigorous journey to becoming a PA. This year, we are dialing our focus on an essential need for students: scrubs. Gaining patient care experience (PCE) is crucial for PA school, but most PCE roles require professional attire. For many college students, the cost of scrubs can be a financial barrier to kickstarting their professional development. Through this campaign, we aim to purchase scrubs for members to help remove that obstacle. With your support, we can give pre-PA students both scrubs and greater confidence. Regardless of the donation size, you are supporting the next generation of healthcare providers in getting one leap closer to their goals. Together, we can appropriately outfit the future of healthcare. Want to keep up with us? Go ahead and visit us on Instagram @wsu.pre.pa and Facebook @WSU Pre-PA to see what we are up to. Go Cougs!

Crimson Motorsports is sending WSU's first electric racecar to competition! Help us raise funds for our registration fees and travel expenses! Crimson Motorsports Who are we Crimson Motorsports (formerly known as WSU Formula Electric), is a multidisciplinary organization, mainly focused on engineering but encompassing several fields of study. We are a fully electric Formula SAE team made up of over 30 extremely dedicated students, coming from different majors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, as well as business administration, marketing, finance and digital technology culture. This organization allows students to apply knowledge learned in the classroom to gain skills working on real world problems. It also allows students to create crucial connections with other students, businesses and professionals in the workforce. Our Goal The 2025-2026 season is an unprecedented time in the team’s history. For many years we have been designing and developing our very first electric racecar and in Spring 2025, we were able to build the chassis of the car. With the chassis built we can officially earn points and place at the 2026 Formula SAE National Competition in Michigan. However, to do so we must be able to first cover the registration fee for competition. Donations will go directly towards covering our registration fees along with any additional funding leftover going towards other travel expenses to get the car and students to competition. Donate today to help Crimson Motorsports bring WSU’s very first electric racecar to Michigan 2026!

Going National - Help the Esports Club Travel to Tournaments!
Going National - Help the Esports Club Travel to Tournaments!
Ever wanted to see a WSU team win a national collegiate tournament? Support us to send our players there!
Ever wanted to see a WSU team win a national collegiate tournament? Support us to send our players there! Esports Club The Esports Club: Competition, community, and computers led the WSU Esports Club to be founded in 2015, right when the industry started rearing its head. Since then, esports has erupted–the billion-dollar industry is projected to double its current market value in just three years, and will only continue to rise. That's where we come in: we want a piece of the pie. This year, we are resurging our club’s initiative by increasing community engagement, hosting more events, and, of course, sending our players to national collegiate tournaments. 2025-2026 is our most ambitious year yet, and we need your help to achieve our goals!Our Cause: The strongest of bonds are formed in the fiercest of fights. Tournaments are just the location for that–by participating, our players will form inseparable bonds and have the chance to be a part of something bigger than simple personal accomplishment. We also take this opportunity to ingrain ourselves into the gaming and esports industry, markets full of both monetary and creative promise. By competing in tournaments, we solidify our position and put our name on the map–and what’s better for recruitment than student interest? Over 85% of Gen. Z and Gen. Alpha are gamers, and that number isn’t going down. If any industry is worth investing in, it’s this one. Why Donate? There are two big motivators for just about any sports team: fans, and winning an “ultimate” championship (think the World Series, Superbowl, etc.). It’s the same with esports; support only makes us fight harder and win more games. With more wins, we get more fans, more publicity, and more players who want to join our team. There is also the reality that traveling isn’t exactly inexpensive. Between flight or gas costs, hotels, and registration, the numbers add up, and we frankly don’t have that kind of cash. Neither do our players. Our path to victory can only be truly achieved through your donations–every little bit helps.

Help Fund WSU Women's Club Volleyball Tournament Travel!
Help Fund WSU Women's Club Volleyball Tournament Travel!
This year our club team is hoping to fundraise enough to take both of our teams to 6 tournaments during the competition season and purchase some new equipment!
This year our club team is hoping to fundraise enough to take both of our teams to 6 tournaments during the competition season and purchase some new equipment! WSU Women's Club Volleyball If you're new to the family, welcome! A bit more about our program: WSU Women's Club Volleyball is a competitive collegiate club volleyball program, competing as part of the Pacific Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (PIVA) in the Pacific Northwest. We travel and compete against other schools located in OR, WA, ID, MT, and BC, Canada! A regular season typically consists of five regional tournaments. To remain competitive in PIVA, our program aims to attend each tournament; the travel, hotels, and tournament fees for these PIVA tournaments cost the program around $10,000. This value doesn't include players' out-of-pocket expenses, including meals, athletic gear, and team apparel. Last year, we were fortunate to take our men’s and women’s Crimson (A) teams to Phoenix, AZ for the NCVF National Tournament. Our women’s team fought long and hard to place 21st in the nation in our division (D1AAA) - a big improvement from previous years! Our programs have seen significant improvements and increased interest over the last few years, and we hope to continue this trend to represent WSU and the larger Coug community well. As we strive to grow as teammates and as individuals to make the most of this season, we are seeking support from friends and family who believe in our program. It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us in making a positive impact on our players, their experiences, the future of our club, and the national representation of WSU. By giving to WSU Women's Club Volleyball, you’ll be able to directly support our players by assisting with travel expenses, tournament fees, team meals, and lodging for the duration of the season (including Nationals!). Your generosity makes a significant difference, and any contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated. What are these donations specifically funding? TRAVEL & REGISTRATION: This year, our Crimson (A) Team has been granted several exciting travel opportunities! First, we were invited to the MLK tournament in San Jose, CA, in early January and to the Las Vegas Classic in March for the first time! Additionally, we have the opportunity to travel to Kansas City, MO for the 2026 NCVF National Tournament in April. At each of these tournaments, we will be playing against other universities from all over the country in a competitive setting - these opportunities are what keep us working so hard all year! These invitations are a recognition of our program's growth over the last few years, and a great opportunity to network with other collegiate athletes and universities outside of PIVA. EQUIPMENT: As our program continues to grow and we recruit bigger teams, we are unfortunately outgrowing our equipment. We need to invest in high-quality equipment, including nets and volleyballs, to enhance our practices and ensure we are ready to compete at the highest level. TEAM CULTURE: Just as important as our technical skills, we strive to foster a fun and supportive environment for our teams. Your donations can help sponsor things like team meals for our travels and other team bonding events! Your support is invaluable to us, and we look forward to reaching our goal with you by our side. As always, go Cougs! With Gratitude, WSU Women's Club Volleyball Team Be sure to follow along on social media! Click the tags below!

Building Guppy: An Autonomous Submarine for RoboSub 2026!
Building Guppy: An Autonomous Submarine for RoboSub 2026!
Guppy is our autonomous robotic submarine that our team of 40 is designing and building to compete at the international level at RoboSub 2026.
Guppy is our autonomous robotic submarine that our team of 40 is designing and building to compete at the international level at RoboSub 2026. RoboSub of the Palouse Guppy is a brand-new autonomous submarine that our team, RoboSub of the Palouse, is designing and building to compete at RoboSub 2026. Guppy will use onboard AI to navigate and complete complex tasks in a controlled underwater course without any human communication. We need your help to bring Guppy to life. Your support will give our team the materials and resources we need to design, build, and prepare for the competition on the international stage. The Team Behind Guppy After not competing since 2019 due to the pandemic, our team has quickly grown from just six members to more than 40 active students. With so many new people, we needed a way to get everyone ready to contribute to the submarine right away. To do that, we began hosting hands-on workshops covering every skill our members need. Because of this training, every team member plays an active role in building Guppy. Some people design components of the body, some design circuit boards, others manufacture parts, and many work on programming its control systems. We design and manufacture many of our parts in house, and we build custom electronic boards that allow our submarine to operate independently in the water. About the Competition RoboSub 2026 is an international competition held in California where university teams from around the world build submarines to complete a series of challenging missions without any remote control from the teams. Submarines get points by navigating through gates, picking up and transporting objects, shooting torpedoes at targets, dropping markers into bins, and interacting with underwater props. These tasks test the reliability of the submarine but also the quality of the team’s design, control systems, and software. Guppy will face some of the best teams around, and your support helps ensure that Washington State University is ready to compete at that level. Our Cause To make this vision a reality, we need your help. This year, we’re launching a fundraising campaign to support the manufacturing and electronic assembling phase of our project. Donations will directly fund: Materials like aluminum stock and acrylic water-tight housing Sensors and control system for real-time underwater navigation Circuit board fabrication In-house part manufacturing costs for precision-machined parts Your support will help us finish Guppy’s core system before the spring semester, so that we can fully test, refine, and compete on the international stage in July 2026. Impact Our team is committed to giving students the practical skills and experience that they wouldn’t get from a lecture hall alone. In just these past few months, we have already held workshops for SolidWorks fundamentals, CAD design best practices, control systems, design for 3D printers, CNC machining, soldering and crimping. These workshops give students the opportunity to learn relevant skills, work with professional tools, and contribute directly to a functioning autonomous submarine. When donors support our team, they help provide the tools and materials that make these learning opportunities possible. Your gift empowers students to turn classroom knowledge into real engineering projects, build confidence in their abilities, and represent Washington State University on the international stage.

WSU CVM Aquatics Club Friday Harbor Laboratories Tour
WSU CVM Aquatics Club Friday Harbor Laboratories Tour
We are fundraising for our members to spend a weekend participating in wet labs and lectures by industry professionals at the UW Friday Harbor Laboratories.
We are fundraising for our members to spend a weekend participating in wet labs and lectures by industry professionals at the UW Friday Harbor Laboratories. WSU Aquatics Vet-Med Club About Us: The WSU CVM Aquatics Club focuses on all aspects of aquatic animal medicine, including fisheries, aquaculture, research, wildlife, zoo and aquarium medicine. Our goals are to generate an interest in aquatic and semi-aquatic species by providing various lectures, hands-on opportunities, and field trips to students who are interested in pursuing an aquatic veterinary medicine career. We also provide to club members resources for internships, externships, and summer workshops. Wet labs and field trips include necropsies, trips to behind-the-scenes tours of aquariums, fish anesthesia labs, and tours of local hatcheries. Objective: Washington state veterinary students are in the unique position of being located in a coastal state, but limited by the fact they are in the inland portion of it. This makes building connections and gaining experience with current Aquatic Veterinarians difficult, as the travel required to have those hands-on opportunities is extensive. Friday Harbor Laboratories is located on San Juan Island, a 385 mile drive from Pullman that includes a ferry ride and takes 7.5 hours. Due to the lengthy travel time, overnight housing will be needed. To offset the hardship of these costs we are turning to our community to support us on this educational endeavor. Impact: The UW Friday Harbor Laboratories are located on a biological preserve on San Juan Island. They have multiple research labs, including one focused on sea star wasting disease, which has significantly impacted sea star populations in Puget Sound over the last decade. Veterinary students will participate in tours, wet labs and lectures from current aquatic professionals. Aquatics are not covered in our core curriculum and there is limited time to participate in elective lectures on it, leaving the WSU CVM Aquatics Club to fill in the gaps. This opportunity has been months in the making and planning, and we don't want the financial burden of housing, food and travel to prevent students from attending. Cost Breakdown: Shared dorm rooms for 30 veterinary students: $2,080.32 Dining Hall meals for 30 veterinary students: $1,787.76 Lab Tour: $162.53 Wet Lab and Lecture: $433.40 Ferry Fare for 6 Vehicles: $374.10 Total: $4,407.80 Donate today and help WSU veterinary students get one step closer to touring Friday Harbor Laboratories!

Help Palouse Aerospace Society members travel to Midland, Texas for IREC 2025! Palouse Aerospace Society Palouse Aerospace is WSU Pullman's rocketry and aviation engineering club! Our club focuses on providing hand on engineering experience to students through projects in rocketry and aerospace. Over the last year Palouse Aerospace has continued to grow and attract new members and has taken on a few different projects. The plane team completed their cargo plane project and took on the challenge of building a fully solar powered plane. The rocket team has been hard at work on our next submission to the Spaceport America Cup through design work and small-scale testing. We are looking forward to exciting projects that our team has in store! From paper planes to hydrogen powered drones, Palouse Aerospace offers students the opportunity to get hands-on experience in a wide-ranging discipline. The club currently consists of some 30 driven, undergraduate engineering students with a passion for aerospace. Our goal as a club is to provide WSU students with hands-on engineering experience, giving them a chance to apply classwork and develop skills that they can apply within industry to solve practical, real-world problems. HISTORY Founded in 1995, we first established ourselves as a student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Initially competing in the AIAA’s Design, Build, Fly airplane engineering competition. Around 2014 we began our foray into rocketry. More recently, we competed in the International Rocketry Engineering Competition (formerly the Spaceport America Cup) in 2023 and are looking to make a return this summer for 2025! We’re also committed to research projects in cooperation with various on-campus research laboratories and industry partners. With the more recent adoption of our new name and logo comes the beginning of a new era. Having an established, rich, history we feel it is now appropriate for our organization to tackle more ambitious goals and projects. As we continue to grow the club and improve our skillsets and knowledge we are ready to take new and exciting challenges! CURRENT PROJECTS At Palouse Aerospace, students have the opportunity to see their projects evolve through the entire engineering design process. All students are encouraged to participate throughout every phase including design, manufacturing, testing, and iteration. Currently under continuing development by the Plane Team is a multipurpose Cargo Plane! The goal for the cargo plane project is to carry a payload of up to 10 pounds to altitudes of 400 ft. This project is for learning composite construction techniques and general model aircraft skills. The dual fuselage under the wing center makes for a lightweight plane capable of carrying cargo with odd geometries. The wing, tail, and boom were completed at the end of the Spring 2023 semester. Since then the team has completed the fuselages, assembled the airplane, and installed the motors. The maiden flight of the airframe was last spring and we have successfully flown the plane several times since then. Currently, the team is working on the payload drop mechanism for use with a variety of payloads, as well as overhauling the landing gear. The rocket team has been working on our next submission for the International Rocketry Engineering Competition - the world’s largest collegiate rocket engineering competition. Rocket team members have the opportunity to represent Washington State University and compete against some of the world’s best universities. Nearly 6,000 students from across 24 different countries participated in the 2023 competition. As a part of this project, we have been developing our own composite structures to be used in the airframe including new bulkheads and filament wound airframe. The overall goal is to make as much of the rocket in-house as we can, this reduces cost and allows members to get more hands-on with the manufacturing process. This also gives us much more control over the material properties of the composites that we make so they are better optimized for weight. As a part of this development, we successfully manufactured and flew a sub-scale rocket for our 2025 design. This sub-scale rocket also served as a flight test article for our filament wound tubes. We were able to fly the subscale in both September and October of last year. These test flights have given us a much better idea of how this airframe flies and have already made design changes to our competition rocket to account for this. Nothing we do is possible without the generous help and support from our amazing sponsors and donors. By supporting Palouse Aerospace, you will have a positive impact on the learning of our world’s next generation of engineers. Help promote STEM education by providing students with practical skills & experience!

Make Tennis More Accessible
Make Tennis More Accessible
Support more competitive and recreational tennis tournaments!
Support more competitive and recreational tennis tournaments! WSU Tennis Club The WSU Tennis Club is a student-run sports club that produces opportunities for both beginners and experienced players to play tennis. We have both a recreation and competitive team! Anyone is allowed to join our recreational team and attend practices where we will play games and have a coaching court to help refine your tennis techniques. Members who are interested in playing competitively try out at the beginning of the fall semester and travel often to tournaments to play other schools. We also hold multiple tournaments a year for our rec members, along with a community tournament open to all. The WSU Tennis Club strives to make tennis more accessible for all Washington State students and faculty with the least expensive dues out of all recreational sport clubs offered at the university. This is to ensure that playing tennis is not seen as a luxury at our school, but instead, as an open opportunity to get involved and grow a love for the sport. That being said, with our low due rates, the club struggles to raise the money we need to provide our members with the fullest of opportunities. Your donation would go toward buying new balls, holding local recreational tennis events, providing scholarships for students who cannot afford our tennis dues, expenses for competitive tournaments, and more. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated and would help us reach students who have a love for the sport but cannot afford to play, while also allowing us to hold events to serve our existing members.

Support WSU Men’s Rugby: Help Us Compete on the National Stage!
Support WSU Men’s Rugby: Help Us Compete on the National Stage!
Help get Men's Rugby players to tournaments on the East Coast and in the Midwest!
Help get Men's Rugby players to tournaments on the East Coast and in the Midwest! WSU Men's Rugby Club We are excited to kick off the Spring 2026 men's rugby season! We compete at the D1AA level in the Northwest College Rugby Conference (NCRC) and are governed by National Collegiate Rugby (NCR). Our conference is stacked with some of the top schools in the nation, including Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, Boise State, and Western Washington, making every season a battle worth fighting. In recent years, we've been extremely successful at the regional level, winning our conference division for the past 2 years, but taking the next step to the national stage has been a challenge. As one of just four NCR-sanctioned schools in the NCRC (others are sanctioned by College Rugby Association of America) - and the only one at the D1AA level - we face unique obstacles. Every D1AA National Qualifier tournament in recent history has been held in the Midwest or East Coast, which means sending our squad of 25 racks up hefty travel costs. Our goal each and every year has been to finally make that next step and compete on the national stage in hopes of bringing a National Championship back to Pullman, but in order to do that, we need your help to ensure we have the resources necessary to compete at our best. With your support, we can break through these barriers and show the nation what Cougar Rugby is all about! What We Need: Travel Support: Competing in national qualifier tournaments often means traveling to locations like Minneapolis, Houston, and Maryland. Your donations will help us cover expenses such as flights, hotels, and transportation for our team. New Jersey: Representing WSU with pride means looking our best. Due to the nature of rugby, jerseys often get torn, and replacements are critical for our games. Essential Equipment: From cameras to record and stream games, to branded rugby balls and banners for home matches, your support help us take the team to the next level. Your contribution will enable us to train, compete, and represent Washington State University with the determination and spirit we are known for. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us pursue our goals and ensures we can proudly don the Crimson and Gray on the field. Be sure to keep up with us on social media!

Help turn our Archery Club into a competitive team by supporting our tournament travel and upgrading our equipment! WSU Archery Club WSU Archery Club as been around since 2017, but the history of Archery at the school goes back even further! WSU Archery is an organization that is home to college student archers of all skill levels, no matter if they are just holding a bow for the first time, or if they've been doing archery for 10 years! Our club mainly focuses on teaching safe bow handling and how to shoot without injury. We use Olympic style recurve archery bows, but members are able to bring their own bows, including bare bows and compound bows! We do our best to make sure that we are shooting safely, teaching people the importance of how to handle a bow correctly, and proper range etiquette. This year has been one of the best years for WSU Archery. We went to our first big competition in Spokane, competing at the 2024 USA Archery Washington State and JOAD indoor championships. 7 of our members went and competed, and we took home 6 medals. 2 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze. Not only this, but our club has grown significantly! We have more members than ever, and most of them are regulars who attend almost, if not, all practices! There are many more things we wish to learn and accomplish, and many more people we wish to bring into our little archery community at WSU. We wish to foster and grow a community that lasts a lifetime, and teaches people to love and cherish archery just as much as we do. Your donation to the Archery Club Tournament and Equipment Upgrades helps us go to and hopefully win more competitions, buy more equipment to keep up with the influx of new members, and to raise more eyes to the WSU Archery Club community! You are also making a donation to bring a smile to the faces of our current and future members. Thank you!

IEEE Hardware Hackathon
IEEE Hardware Hackathon
Support the revival of IEEE's hardware hackathon!
Support the revival of IEEE's hardware hackathon! IEEE WSU Chapter On behalf of Washington State University’s IEEE Chapter, we thank you for your time and consideration. IEEE’s goal for 2024 - 2025 is to strengthen our community within WSU's College of Engineering and Science through the revival of our Annual Hardware Hackathon. Your donations will support this dynamic event and help students enhance their skills and build relationships within their education.What is the Hardware Hackathon? The Hackathon is a 24-hour event where students come together to build, learn, and innovate outside the traditional classroom setting. Teams of 1-4 students group together to brainstorm and develop a project that aligns with a designated theme. Throughout this event, they work closely with supplied electronics, components, materials, and tools, building and writing code for their designs to turn their ideas into reality. The results of these events usually end with small to even large innovations in the world of technology. Not to mention, they create a better basis for student’s academics and a stronger more collaborative community within their department.This event is a great way for students to receive hands-on experience across all academic levels from first-year undergraduates to seasoned graduate students. It's an opportunity to experiment with new technologies, like learning a programming language overnight or using a soldering iron for the first time, and to apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-world scenarios.A Hardware Hackathon also benefits the University by creating a more devoted and diverse College of Engineering and Computer Science. Students from all types of engineering, arts and sciences partner together to create amazing, original products. After 24 hours of working with members of all sorts of majors, students become more proactive at group work and know how to handle coworkers or classmates in stressful situations. These hackathons continue to further a student’s knowledge in the incredible resources offered by their school, overall creating a more active university.Previous Hardware Hackathons have sparked remarkable inventions. We have had a mag-strip spoofer created using a hand built magnetic field that allowed students to download data onto the device then open doors just by waving it in front of a card-swiper, a mailbox that alerted a person when a letter was received, a robotic hand that signaled sign language. On top of all these creations, remote control cars, lamps, robots of all color, shape, and size have been created at WSU Hardware Hackathons!Your donation helps continue this tradition of innovation and learning, providing resources for parts, tools, food, and awards, while supporting future leaders of technology and engineering!

WSU Women's Club Volleyball
Help Women's Club Volleyball players get to Phoenix, Arizona for the 2025 NCVF National Tournament!
Help Women's Club Volleyball players get to Phoenix, Arizona for the 2025 NCVF National Tournament! WSU Women's Volleyball Club The WSU Women's Club Volleyball Team cannot adequately express our gratitude for your support throughout the season. Your support is seen and felt in all of it’s ways, from watching our live-streamed games to traveling to NCVF Nationals with us. We wanted to remind you how important you are to the Club Volleyball Family - you are our reason! If you're new to the family, welcome! A bit more about our program: WSU Club Volleyball is a competitive college volleyball program, competing as part of the Pacific Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (PIVA) in the Pacific Northwest. We travel and compete against other schools located in OR, WA, ID, and BC! A regular season typically consists of five regional tournaments. To remain competitive in PIVA, our men’s and women’s programs aim to attend each tournament; the travel, hotels, and tournament fees cost the programs around $10,000. This value doesn't include players' out-of-pocket expenses, including meals, athletic gear, and team apparel. Last year, we were fortunate to take our men’s and women’s Crimson (A) teams to Kansas City, MO for the NCVF National Tournament. Our women’s team fought long and hard to place second in our bracket and our men’s team was able to place 1st for the entire DIAAA division! This year, our Crimson (A) Team has been granted the opportunity to travel to Phoenix, AZ for the 2025 NCVF National Tournament. We will be competing against other universities from all over the country in a competitive setting - this opportunity is what keeps us working so hard all year! Our programs have seen significant improvements and increased interest over the last few years, and we hope to continue this trend to represent WSU and the larger Coug community well. As we strive to grow as teammates and as individuals to make the most of this season, we are seeking support from friends and family who believe in our program. It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to join us in making a positive impact on our players, their experiences, the future of our club, and the national representation of WSU. By giving to WSU Club Volleyball, you’ll be able to directly support our players by assisting with travel expenses, tournament fees, team meals, and lodging for the duration of the season (including Nationals!). Your generosity makes a significant difference, and any contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated. Your support is invaluable to us, and we look forward to reaching our goal with you by our side. As always, go Cougs! With Gratitude, WSU Women's Club Volleyball Team Be sure to follow along on social media! Instagram: @wsuclubvolleyball Facebook: Washington State Club Volleyball

Evening with Industry 2025
Evening with Industry 2025
Support this annual engineering networking event!
Support this annual engineering networking event! Society of Women Engineers The Washington State University Everett chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is excited to host our annual Evening with Industry! SWE is dedicated to supporting not only women in engineering but all minorities in STEM. Our goal on campus is to foster an inclusive community where students feel welcome, heard, and supported. Nearly all of our events are campus-wide, ensuring that everyone has access to resources and opportunities. Many of WSU Everett’s students are non-traditional, including first-generation college students, working professionals, parents, and students from immigrant or international backgrounds. We take pride in helping these students gain a competitive edge in their engineering careers. What does SWE do throughout the year? SWE is active year-round, hosting events that bring students together, develop technical skills, and create career opportunities: Soldering Workshops – Twice a year, we host soldering events that engage students from all disciplines—engineering, agriculture, communications, education, and more—fostering a supportive and collaborative campus culture. National Conference – Each year, a small group of members attends SWE’s National Conference, gaining inspiration from keynote speakers, industry leaders, and networking opportunities. Last year, two of our members secured internships from the career fair! Girls Explore STEM – We participate in this bi-annual outreach event, introducing middle-school girls to STEM through hands-on workshops and mentorship, showing them that resources and representation exist to support them through college. Company Tours & Workshops – Throughout the year, we partner with local companies to give students firsthand exposure to engineering environments. These tours and workshops connect students with hiring managers who provide resume critiques, interview tips, and career advice. We are always striving to expand our reach and are currently developing mentoring programs and outreach initiatives for local high schools. What is Evening with Industry? This event is the culmination of our year of networking, company tours, and career-building workshops. Throughout the year, we’ve worked hard to gather industry contacts, alumni connections, and faculty recommendations—all to bring fantastic companies to meet our students!Last year, our on-campus event grew so large that it spilled into the lobby. This year, we’re taking it off-campus to a dedicated venue to accommodate even more students and professionals. At Evening with Industry, engineering students from WSU Everett, along with Everett Community College students, will network over dinner with company representatives. Students will have the opportunity to ask engineers about their careers, learn about internships and job openings, and gain valuable insight into the industry. For graduating seniors, this is a prime chance to connect with potential employers and secure opportunities before graduation. This event is the biggest SWE hosts on campus and an incredible resource for students, companies, and the broader community. It’s our way of ensuring that students have direct access to the connections, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive in their engineering careers. What will donating help? We are committed to advocating for and supporting our students to the fullest extent. Your donation will ensure that every student can attend this event for free, removing financial barriers and making it accessible to all. It will also help us provide catering from a local business, so students can focus on networking and connecting with professionals—rather than worrying about keeping the buffet stocked or serving food. Additionally, your support will allow us to move the event off-campus to a more spacious venue. Last year, despite its overwhelming success, our space was so limited that some students and company representatives had to sit in the lobby, making them feel disconnected from the event. With your generosity, we can create an even more impactful experience—one where students gain valuable networking contacts, discover new companies and job opportunities, and access the resources they need to build their future careers. Thank you so much for your consideration and donations from all of us here not only at SWE but at WSU Everett!

Crimson Game Jam Fall 2025
Crimson Game Jam Fall 2025
Support students in creating a playable video game in just 48 hours!
Support students in creating a playable video game in just 48 hours! Game Development Club First time hearing about the Crimson Game Jam? If so you may not have heard of our club. We are the Game Development Club at WSU! Our shared passion of video games and our urge of creativity and use of technical knowledge brought us as students together, forming our club today. Releasing a video game title through game development depends on many different disciplines: Artists, Programmers, Designers, Musicians, and so many more. We drive to give those who participate in our club creative outlets so they can prosper, and by showing them what they can achieve through our hosted events and meetings. This will be our fourth time hosting the Crimson Game Jam, and we are so thrilled to see what our participants create next! What's the Crimson Game Jam? "Crimson" comes from our beautiful school colors, however "Game Jam" is an event where participants of many disciplines get together or go solo in a competition to create a finished game in under just 48 hours! Each game jam is tied to a theme which all participants are forced to build their game around. In our previous crimson game jams we've brought in a guest speaker that has had experience in the gaming industry during our opening ceremony before we announce the theme and start the 48 hour timer. We do so to motivate and educate the participants before they endure the challenges to come, and want to continue this tradition for this crimson game jam. The submissions of our previous participants are always so creative, funny, and heart-racing, revealing the amount of work and knowledge gained from the experience. If you'd like to see some of these submissions there are videos above in the reel, and if you want to play them yourself there are links to all the submissions of our previous game jams at the bottom of this description. We are constantly striving to create improved experiences to the game jam for the participants. With our previous crimson game jam we reached our goal of having a venue for the entire duration, day and night, in the Sloan Building. With this said, we still dream of the spark building becoming home to our annual crimson game jam. Another goal we were able to accomplish was the abundance of development-sustaining food, snacks, and drinks during our opening ceremony but as the night approached so did the end of the food supply. We are hoping for this crimson game jam we get to serve these amenities all through out the 48 hour development process. The only reason we could achieve any of the previous goals was from your support so we know we cannot do this alone - we are asking for your further support to make this another successful event! By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you'll help provide the essential resources, the venue, and the food and snacks to keep our developers fueled and focused. This is truly an event of all-out, non-stop (all-night) learning -- it can be supercharged with help from you! 90% of participants voted a 5 out of 5 when asked how much they learned during the first Crimson Game Jam experience. Together, we'll foster a community of innovation and teamwork, inspiring students to explore their passion for game development. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference. We will continue to be able to host this event free and openly for all students. We believe that learning by creating is the highest form of education, by donating you are supporting that continued mission. Thank you. Have fun trying out our submissions from some of our previous Game Jam's! Fall 2023: https://itch.io/jam/crimson-game-jam/results Fall 2024: https://itch.io/jam/crimson-game-jam-fall-2024/results

Help us rebuild WSU Women's Rugby! Our team is growing, and we are looking to travel to competitions and fundraise for travel and lodging. WSU Women's Rugby The WSU's Women's Rugby creates an environment of family and success, winning multiple different awards in the seasons past. COVID-19 prevented us from growing and with that, we lost almost all of our players in the 2021-2022 season, leaving the president and coach to figure out something new. With hard work and dedication, the team has now started to rebuild and with that, the spirit of rugby lives on our team. As we rebuild our foundation, we will, of course, face struggles in becoming a whole unit, once again. So we are focusing on fostering talent, promoting equality in sports, and building a robust community of supporters. By offering training facilities, essential equipment, and opportunities for competitive play, we ensure that our athletes can perform at their best. After being inactive for so long, we think that these things are a great opportunity for our project to be dedicated to supporting and advancing women's rugby. With a focus on providing resources and opportunities, we aim to create a positive impact on athletes and the wider community. Your support will help us create a lasting impact and inspire the next generation of female athletes. Join us in making a difference and fostering a spirit of excellence and inclusivity in the sport. Your involvement helps drive this important initiative forward. Thank you for taking the time to read this and support us!

Send our members to the National BMES Conference!
Send our members to the National BMES Conference! Biomedical Engineering Society Biomedical Engineering Society is a national professional society established in 1968 to promote knowledge and education in bioengineering worldwide and its utilization of human health and wellbeing. There are over 80 student chapters that represent the foundation and future of the biomedical engineering profession, and we represent Washington State University as one of those chapters. This year is a big year for us as we have been working hard the past few years to rebuild what was left to die in 2020, and now that we have established a presence, it's time to think bigger and better. So many goals for this year center around funding more to do more field trips for experience, establish a club project, and connect with the national bioengineering community. As part of our goals of connection and community, it has always been within our dreams to network and build a strong relationship with the national BMES organization and all of its chapters. Every year, the national BMES organization hosts large conferences with all the chapters and public speakers within the profession to socialize and make connections between each other. This is our chapter's chance to connect with national leaders, other chapters, and start building our club up from the stepping stones created for us by the previous years. Since 2020, we've been rebuilding our organization from the ground up and paying off our debts, this year we want it to be different, to do more than just scrape by and take the first steps to making our chapter a grand support to the WSU educational environmental. Help us build and shape our chapter to achieve big things from the conference to beyond.

Help us revive our club! We are working on reviving our club and creating a robot. Any donation will go to materials and tools needed to build. WSU Robotics Club WSU Robotics Club is the hub for general robotics at Washington State University. After facing significant challenges over the past five years, we are ready to return stronger than ever! This year marks a fresh start as we rebuild the club into the premier destination for students passionate about programming and engineering. However, we quickly discovered that the club was missing the essential tools and materials needed to bring our projects to life—even basic items like a proper screwdriver set. This is where your support can make a difference. Our History WSU Robotics Club was once a large community, boasting over 60 members who split up into subteams and worked on projects such as a prosthetic hand, a camera drone, a robotic arm for chess, a BB-8 clone, a beer pong robot, and even competed in Battlebots and the Mars Rover Challenge. Despite the successes pre-COVID, the club fell by the wayside over the past 5 years. When we became execs of the club this year, there were no active members and no active projects. We found our website to be down since 2019, our email inaccessible, and the drawers do not contain a complete set of screwdrivers. Even though we’re starting from scratch, we are confident that our efforts will create a collaborative space for students interested in automation, machine learning, and human-machine interaction, as well as those passionate about design, programming, and manufacturing. Together, they’ll be able to innovate, have fun, and produce something remarkable. Our Present We started this year by building a 3DoF robotic arm to test the Cybergear motors, which are one of the most cost-effective BLDC (Brushless DC) motors on the market. After testing the motor's torque and thermal performance, we started designing a robotic dog (shown below) inspired by the MIT Mini Cheetah, Cheetah 3, and the Unitree Go2. It will have 12 motors on board, making it a great testbed for any programs we plan to implement. The quadruped design comprises 4 similar leg units and a chassis designed to be modular for future iterations. Our Future With the guidance of our advisor, Dr. John Swensen, we will transform the quadruped robot from just being able to walk to a machine that can sense surroundings and maintain balance. We will add camera and LiDaR modules, Internal Measurement units, and GPU units and program in features such as object recognition, collision avoidance, auto-balancing, and route guidance. With these programming-intensive tasks in the future, we also plan on developing a 6DoF robot arm that can be attached to the robot dog and enable it to interact with its surroundings.

Help us travel to around the PNW and supply our team with equipment and jerseys! WSU Men's Lacrosse Club The WSU Men's Lacrosse Club is excited to take the field this season and compete with some of the best programs in the region. In order to be successful, recruit more adequately, and ensure the best possible experience for our athletes we need your help! We have been competing in the MCLA lacrosse league for decades, and due to a total lack of lacrosse exposure in the region we have we have faced an uphill climb to fight against well established programs with championship pedigree. Our current leadership is very eager to turn this team around by finally breaking through these barriers to success. Any donation goes a long ways towards ensuring our success and longevity as a program. For long enough we have waited in silence as the teams around us filled their pockets off the backs of institutional support and donors, we feel like now is our time to do the same. The WSU community is tight knit and understands the unique opportunities and challenges we are faced with on the Palouse, and it is our responsibility as a community to rise up and stand firm against all odds and help our fellow Cougs out. The WSU Men's Lacrosse Club would like to thank any and everyone in advance for their generosity during our campaign, we could not provide the experience that we provide for these young men without your support! Go Cougs!

Korean Student Association at WSU
The Korean Student Association needs your help! We are hosting multiple cultural events and need funds for food, crafts, and games.
The Korean Student Association needs your help! We are hosting multiple cultural events and need funds for food, crafts, and games. WSU Korean Student Association The Korean Student Association (KSA) at WSU is a student organization dedicated to introducing and sharing Korean culture with the WSU community. We welcome everyone eager to learn more about Korea, regardless of their background. As you may know, Korea is quite far from the United States, and with that distance comes significant cultural differences. When Korean students first arrive in America, many of them struggle with adjusting to these differences. KSA strives to help Korean students adapt to American culture while creating a welcoming space where they can connect with students from different countries who are interested in learning about Korea. Through our events, we hope to help Korean students feel at home while giving non-Korean students a chance to experience and enjoy Korean traditions. We aim to present Korean culture in the best possible way and host quality events that leave a lasting impression, but in order to do so, we truly need your help. Your support will allow us to create more meaningful experiences and resources for both Korean students adjusting to life in America and others eager to explore Korean culture. Your contribution would make a significant impact, helping us achieve our mission of cultural exchange and student support. Every bit of help counts, and we deeply appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thank you for considering supporting the Korean Student Association. Together, we can make a difference!

Combat Robotics Arena
Combat Robotics Arena
The current robotics battle arena could use some changes! We are hoping to expand to bigger and better leagues. Help us improve our arena and make that happen!
The current robotics battle arena could use some changes! We are hoping to expand to bigger and better leagues. Help us improve our arena and make that happen! Crimson Robotics Crimson Robotics is WSU's official combat robotics club. We design, build, and compete with robots ranging from 3 to 250 pounds that are designed to fight and destroy other combat robots. Twice a year, Crimson Robotics hosts the Crimson Bot Brawl, a combat robotics competition featuring 1lb and 3lb robots. Club members put their designs to the test in a thrilling tournament, battling competitors from within the club and around the Pacific Northwest to crown an ultimate champion. In order to safely run this competition, Crimson Robotics has created their own combat robotics arena to hold the battles. Over the 3 previous Crimson Bot Brawls, the arena has been home to over 50 different bots. While this arena is very effective for safely containing the carnage of a combat robotics battle, it is in need of upgrades to improve the viewing experience, make fights more exciting, and expand the situations the arena can be used in. These upgrades include: Adding a pit hazard (A pit that bots can push each other into) Structural upgrades (Allowing for higher weight classes to compete) Installing match timers Powder coating the frame (Allowing for outdoor events) Repainting the floor Upgrading tooling (Allowing for quicker and easier assembly) Upgrading the arena in this way is the next step towards evolving and expanding the Crimson Bot Brawl, which brings with it many benefits. More builders and engineers visit Pullman to compete, exposing them to WSU's impressive engineering program. More spectators can see the exciting fights, which has been shown to increase many people's interest in combat robotics and STEM. Finally, an improved event will increase Crimson Robotics' membership count, allowing more students to get hands on and practical engineering experience. This experience leads to success in internship and job applications, and allows members to get the most out of their time at WSU. While these upgrades will offer many benefits, modifying such a large piece of equipment is inherently expensive. In order to keep membership absolutely free for all of our members, Crimson Robotics heavily relies on donors like yourself to help fund its projects. We hope you will consider making a tax deductible donation to help the club continue to work towards its goal of open access to combat robotics.

Wazzu "Racing" to Competition 2025
Wazzu "Racing" to Competition 2025
Wazzu Racing is trying to send our members to Michigan for a competition. Help us raise money for travel costs!
Wazzu Racing is trying to send our members to Michigan for a competition. Help us raise money for travel costs! Wazzu Racing About Wazzu Racing Wazzu Racing annually represents Washington State University at Formula SAE (FSAE); a collegiate design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. This competition is based on a formula racecar that students have the opportunity to design and build. By competing, students are challenged to apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems which, in turn, bolster their ability to communicate and work in teams. The program is made up of over 40 students from various majors and class standings. As such the leadership roles in the team further demand an ever-improving capacity to manage projects and cross-functional teams. Our Cause This year, Wazzu Racing plans to compete at FSAE Michigan. However, the cost associated with travel, housing for our team, and transportation of the competition vehicle is beyond what we can currently afford. Donations will directly allow our team to showcase all of the hard work, dedication, and time we have spent designing and manufacturing our formula race car. Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to Michigan in May! What is Formula SAE? The Formula SAE competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete with small, formula-style vehicles. The competition is an engineering education competition that requires performance demonstration of vehicles in a series of events, both off track and on track against the clock. Each competition gives teams the chance to demonstrate their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Teams are to assume that they work for an engineering firm that is designing, fabricating, testing, and demonstrating a prototype vehicle. The vehicle should have high performance and be sufficiently durable to successfully complete all the events at the Formula SAE competitions. Each student team design will be judged and evaluated against other competing designs in a series of Static and Dynamic events to determine the vehicle that best meets the design goals, profitably, build, and marketability. The Formula SAE competitions are held in six locations worldwide, including two in the United States. We plan to compete in the Michigan Competition in May of 2025. Last year for the 2024 Competition, it cost us $12,586.13 to compete and travel to Michigan. This cost does not include the money that has to come out of the students pockets for food and Comp jerseys or the cost to build the car. Cost Breakdown of 2024 Competition Registration: $2,750 Truck Rental & Mileage & Gas: $772.31 & $578.63 & $2,097.89 Two Van Rental & Mileage & Gas: $946.72 & $903.30 & $1,555.23 Hotels for 18 Students: $2,982.05 Total: $12,586.13 Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to competing in Michigan in May!

Support higher education tours and opportunities for Washington Mariachi students!
Support higher education tours and opportunities for Washington Mariachi students! Mariachi Leones del Monte Mariachi Leones del Monte was founded a little over a year ago in the fall of 2023. The group was created to provide students with outlet to participate in a very important aspect of Mexican culture. Since our creation, we have played at over 18 events in Pullman and Moscow. We even won "Best Small Group" in the 2023 Lentil Parade. Our members can currently join as a club or a one credit arts class. Through our existence we hope to enrich the community culture and promote higher education for Hispanic/Latine students. In line with our goal, we are planning to host an event for high school mariachi students around the state. Students will attend a one day event where they can tour the campus, receive informational workshops, and play their repertoire for other schools. Schools in attendance would be Chiawana, East Wenatchee, Grandview, Pasco, Othello, and Wenatchee. Ultimately, we hope this event will make college more attainable and attractive to these students. Your donations will go towards the costs of transportation and meals for students. This event cannot take place without your help. Thank you for donating or simply sharing our cause.

Crimson Game Jam
Crimson Game Jam
Help us rent out The Spark for a 48-hour game design challenge!
Help us rent out The Spark for a 48-hour game design challenge! Game Development Club Join us in fueling the creative fire of budding game developers at WSU! Game Development Club is a club dedicated to teaching and supporting video game development at WSU. As a club, we connect through our shared passion for video games and the immense creativity and technical knowledge that goes into them. Game development combines all kinds of creative disciplines to create a single cohesive whole: from artists to programmers, not to mention designers and musicians, game development is truly a culmination of creativity. We hope to get people excited about what they can achieve in this interactive medium through events and club-hosted lessons.To that end, we are thrilled to host the second annual Crimson Game Jam, where students will bring their unique game ideas to life. Simply put, a game jam is an event where participants have to make a video game from start to end in just 48 hours! It's an absolute thrill to participate in: a whirlwind of code, art and dreams, all coming together to craft a finished game. Just like a Hackathon, which is similarly constrained by time, participants learn so much and create so much more than they could have ever imagined. This last January of 2024 we held our first ever Crimson Game Jam, with over 65 participants and a guest speaker who works as the lead game designer for the "Medimon" game project (studio based in Moscow, Idaho). It was a great success, we had a number of fantastically creative games by the end and participants learned so much. We have a showcase reel of all our students' games in the video above, as well as a link at the bottom to play them yourself!For our next event, we'd like to go even bigger and better as we try to build up the area's local game development community. We weren't able to get an in-person venue for the entire first jam, we were only able to get a room for our opening and closing ceremony. However, this year, we hope to rectify that with an abundance of development-sustaining food and plenty of in-person space for brainstorming -- all night long. Our primary goal is to be able to rent out the Spark for the night, just as the ACM Hackathon does. But we can't do it alone – we need your support to make this event a success!By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you'll help provide the essential resources, the venue, and the food and snacks to keep our developers fueled and focused. This is truly an event of all-out, non-stop (all-night) learning -- it can be supercharged with help from you! 90% of participants voted a 5 out of 5 when asked how much they learned during the first Crimson Game Jam experience. Together, we'll foster a community of innovation and teamwork, inspiring students to explore their passion for game development.Your donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference. We will continue to be able to host this event free and openly for all students. We believe that learning by creating is the highest form of education, by donating you are supporting that continued mission. Thank you.Have fun trying out our submissions from our first Crimson Game Jam! Here: https://itch.io/jam/crimson-game-jam/results

Coding Cougs Hackathons
Coding Cougs Hackathons
Get the Coding Cougs to the Crimson Hackathon in February!
Get the Coding Cougs to the Crimson Hackathon in February! Coding Cougs The Coding Cougs programming club here at Washington State University Tri-Cities, focuses on student career development & extracurricular coding events. We are known for participating in two hackathons every academic year, one in the fall and another in the spring. A quick summary of what a hackathon is: it is a competition where participants have 24 hours to brainstorm and build a project of their choosing. It provides students with a unique opportunity to develop essential skills and experiences that are invaluable for their future careers. Participating in hackathons like DubHacks or Crimson Code, offers several benefits that are worth highlighting: Teamwork and Collaboration: Hackathons require participants to work closely with teammates under tight time constraints. This fosters teamwork, communication, and the ability to perform well under pressure—a valuable skill set that is highly sought after by employers. Problem Solving: Participants at hackathons are presented with real-world challenges that require creative problem-solving and critical thinking. These experiences help students develop their ability to find innovative solutions to complex problems. Networking: Hackathons provide a unique networking opportunity, allowing students to connect with like-minded peers, industry professionals, and potential mentors. These connections often lead to valuable career opportunities. Resume Enhancement: A successful hackathon participation is a standout addition to a student's resume. It demonstrates their commitment to innovation, their ability to execute projects, and their dedication to self-improvement. By donating to the Coding Cougs, you would not only help us make the most of our events but also contribute to the growth and professional development of our students. We are enthusiastic and would like to express our interest in seeking your support for future hackathons and related initiatives. We look forward to the possibility of making the best out of Crimson Code 2024 for it to be a memorable and enriching experience for our club members!

Palouse Aerospace - A New Era
Palouse Aerospace - A New Era
Help the Palouse Aerospace Society get to Spaceport America.
Help the Palouse Aerospace Society get to Spaceport America. Palouse Aerospace Society Palouse Aerospace is WSU Pullman's rocketry and aviation engineering club! Formerly known as AIAA/WSU Aerospace Club, we are ready to embark on a new journey after these past few years since the pandemic. Last June, we had a successful launch and an impressive showing at Spaceport America Cup 2023 - the world's largest rocket engineering competition. Now, we seek to improve on this performance, so support us and help us get to Spaceport America Cup 2024! From paper planes to hydrogen powered drones, Palouse Aerospace offers students the opportunity to get hands-on experience in a wide-ranging discipline. The club currently consists of some 30 driven, undergraduate engineering students with a passion for aerospace. Our goal as a club is to provide WSU students with hands-on engineering experience, giving them a chance to apply classwork and develop skills that they can apply within industry to solve practical, real-world problems. HISTORY Founded in 1995, we first established ourselves as a student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Initially competing in the AIAA’s Design, Build, Fly airplane engineering competition. Around 2014 we began our foray into rocketry. We now regularly attend the Spaceport America Cup - the world’s largest rocket engineering competition. We’re also committed to research projects in cooperation with various on-campus research laboratories and industry partners. With the more recent adoption of our new name and logo comes the beginning of a new era. Having an established, rich, history we feel it is now appropriate for our organization to tackle more ambitious goals and projects. Our objective for 2023 - 2024 is to lay the framework for our club to succeed as it elects to take on these exciting, new challenges. As such, we expect to see a mass increase in club membership in the next few years. We have already restructured our leadership and organizational policies to best suit our ambitions. We’ll achieve these objectives through developing a robust curriculum and knowledge base for future cohorts of our club to rapidly learn from, so that members are able to contribute to projects earlier in their studies. Most crucial to our objective, we seek to establish new partnerships to help support these efforts. This is, truly, a pivotal moment in the history of our club and we hope to see you come along for the journey! CURRENT PROJECTS At Palouse Aerospace, students have the opportunity to see their projects evolve through the entire engineering design process. All students are encouraged to participate throughout every phase including design, manufacturing, testing, and iteration. Currently under development by the Plane Team is a multipurpose Cargo Plane! The goal for the cargo plane project is to carry a payload of up to 10 pounds to altitudes of 400 ft. This project is for learning composite construction techniques and general model aircraft skills. The dual fuselage under the wing center makes for a lightweight plane capable of carrying cargo with odd geometries. The wing, tail, and boom were completed at the end of the Spring 2023 semester. This semester the team molded the fuselages, assembled the airplane, and installed the motors. Next up is wiring, landing gear, and the flight controller setup before the maiden flight. Palouse Aerospace regularly competes at Spaceport America Cup - the world’s largest rocket engineering competition. Rocket team members have the opportunity to represent Washington State University and compete against some of the world’s best universities. The competition is held annually in the New Mexico desert at the Spaceport America Vertical Launch Site. Nearly 6,000 students from across 24 different countries participated in the 2023 competition. Our rocket Crimson Arrow is the result of several months’ work and performed spectacularly, reaching an altitude of 8,200 feet AGL and flawless performance of all subsystems. Our preparedness led to a successful recovery with no damage to the airframe and resulted in a spectacular first appearance as Palouse Aerospace! Nothing we do is possible without the generous help and support from our amazing sponsors and donors. By supporting Palouse Aerospace, you will have a positive impact on the learning of our world’s next generation of engineers. Help promote STEM education by providing students with practical skills & experience!

Wazzu "Racing" to Competition
Wazzu "Racing" to Competition
Help WSU's Formula Racing Team get to their annual competition.
Help WSU's Formula Racing Team get to their annual competition. WSU Formula Racing About Wazzu Racing Wazzu Racing annually represents Washington State University at Formula SAE (FSAE); a collegiate design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. This competition is based on a formula racecar that students have the opportunity to design and build. By competing, students are challenged to apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems which, in turn, bolster their ability to communicate and work in teams. The program is made up of over 35 students from various majors and class standings. As such the leadership roles in the team further demand an ever-improving capacity to manage projects and cross-functional teams. Our Cause This year, Wazzu Racing plans to compete at FSAE Michigan. However, the cost associated with travel, housing for our team, and transportation of the competition vehicle is beyond what we can currently afford. Donations will directly allow our team to showcase all of the hard work, dedication, and time we have spent designing and manufacturing our formula race car. Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to Michigan in May! What is Formula SAE? The Formula SAE competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete with small, formula-style vehicles. The competition is an engineering education competition that requires performance demonstration of vehicles in a series of events, both off track and on track against the clock. Each competition gives teams the chance to demonstrate their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Teams are to assume that they work for an engineering firm that is designing, fabricating, testing, and demonstrating a prototype vehicle. The vehicle should have high performance and be sufficiently durable to successfully complete all the events at the Formula SAE competitions. Each student team design will be judged and evaluated against other competing designs in a series of Static and Dynamic events to determine the vehicle that best meets the design goals, profitably, build, and marketability. The Formula SAE competitions are held in six locations worldwide, including two in the United States. We plan to compete in the Michigan Competition in May of 2024. Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to competing in Michigan in May!

Thompson Food Pantry
Thompson Food Pantry
Help the French Club keep their student food pantry stocked.
Help the French Club keep their student food pantry stocked. French Club The French Club at Washington State University has been an active RSO for the past three years. We are a cultural-based club, meaning our events do not require anybody to speak French. Rather, we want to showcase French and Francophone culture through fun, hands-on activities. That being said food is an important part of French culture. We provide food (desserts, cheese, charcuterie, etc.) at our events to honor traditions that are close to the hearts of many French folks. Last year Adam Atalig, an officer of the French Club, decided to open up the food pantry with help from other officers and our advisor at the time, Prof. Mark Black. After witnessing food insecurity himself, Adam wanted to create a space where students could access food and not worry about where they were going to get their next meal. Approximately 50% of students have experienced food insecurity during their time in college. That number is unacceptable, and we want to change that. Without our basic needs being met it is difficult to focus on anything else, such as academics. We are asking for your gift so that students will get what they need to thrive in college, not just survive. With your donation, you will not only give a student a meal; you will be giving them the peace of mind that they need to succeed in college. The French Club at WSU thanks you for your generosity and grace. From us to you, merci beaucoup!

WSU Archery Club New Targets
WSU Archery Club New Targets
Help the Archery Club buy new targets and equipment.
Help the Archery Club buy new targets and equipment. Archery Club Since our founding in 2017, we have been using the same target bales. These bales have been exposed to the elements which has caused their lifespan to shorten more than expected. Our target bales provide us the ability to practice archery in the first place, we couldn't be here without them. We have a team of officers and range masters who constantly maintain the club equipment and maintain the bales themselves. We have spent a lot of time and effort perfecting the club and making sure every member uses safe and reliable equipment. We have updated the cores of the bales before, but now we are seeing a degradation of the supporting structures of the bales themselves. The art of archery is very important to improving hand eye coordination, practicing hand steadiness, increasing patience, and practice your ability to focus. To be able to help bring awareness to this art we appreciate all donations. We are only funded through members and donations. We plan on keeping this club around for another 10 years, and the new bales would last around that timespan. Our goal currently will cover one bale to be replaced, which would significantly take off the burden for the club to find the rest of the funds. We currently have 3 bales to be replaced. All donations will be used towards continuing the goal of our club and providing a friendly and welcoming environment for WSU students and faculty to learn and practice the art of archery!

VAW Who We Are Our student-based club collaborates with Volunteers Around the World to work as interns in low- and middle-income countries internationally to host free veterinary care clinics, assist local animal shelters, and provide information sessions about animal care to locals. Being able to develop veterinary skills as an undergrad is a very important step to being able to become a doctor. VAW allows students to travel to marginalized countries to better understand global health, help develop the community health systems in-country by working with local health professionals, and learn what it means to support global health worldwide by working as a veterinarian. Why We Need You Our upcoming outreach trip to Peru is an opportunity that we want to make more accessible to all students, regardless of their financial background. International travel can be a huge financial burden that we aim to lessen. Our trip fees go toward the medical supplies we will use, travel, and in-country costs. Our club does intensive fundraising in an effort to bring down the costs of our trips so that more students have the ability to join us. Your donation, whatever size, goes towards allowing our students and future veterinarians the chance to become more understanding and compassionate doctors with hands-on experience in the field. Your support also goes to improving the welfare and care of people and animals in marginalized countries and worldwide global health. Thank you for your time and support.

Support Crimson Robotics on the road to BattleBots in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Support Crimson Robotics on the road to BattleBots in Las Vegas, Nevada. Crimson Robotics Crimson Robotics is WSU's official combat robotics club. We design, build, and compete with robots ranging from 3 to 250 pounds that are designed to destroy other combat robots. Our new 250 pound design "PainSaw" has been completed, and all that's left to do is manufacture and fight with it! In early 2024, we will compete with PainSaw in the BattleBots Proving Grounds competition in Las Vegas, with the goal of being accepted onto the hit discovery TV show BattleBots. PainSaw fights by demolishing other robots with a 50 pound steel vertical spinner rotating at 10,000 rpm. This spinner is attached to the end of a titanium arm that can swing the weapon down on an opponent in a literal blink of an eye. All of that sits on top of an armored chassis capable of breaking the speed limit on residential roads. PainSaw is a force to be reckoned with in the BattleBox! While experiencing the mechanical mayhem of a BattleBots match is an incredible experience, there is more than just fun for Crimson Robotics members to gain! Our team members get invaluable real world engineering experience as well as building their teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. Each member gets to apply what they learn from their classes in realistic scenarios, which helps solidify and expand their understanding of engineering. From computer aided design, to electrical systems, to manufacturing, and much more, Crimson Robotics gives all 75 of our members the opportunity to grow as engineers and people. Our members have worked incredibly hard to create PainSaw. Transforming what started as some sketches on a whiteboard into a completed design is no easy feat. But to fight with it, it first has to be built. PainSaw is estimated to cost $18,000 without accounting for spare parts. Your donation will go directly towards the manufacturing of PainSaw, allowing Crimson Robotics to compete with it in Las Vegas.

Help WSU E.E.C. fund the cost of travel to their national competitions, which include the NASA Launch Initiative, University Rover Challenge, and much more! Who We Are The Wazzu Everett Engineering Club is a student-run organization focused on putting engineering knowledge into practice and developing experience through hands-on projects. The club includes three sub-teams: Mars Rover Team Rocket Team Wind Energy Team While each sub-team has a faculty advisor, students are ultimately responsible for everything from the design process, project construction, securing funds, choosing and applying for competitions, purchasing materials, and booking hotels/flights/rental cars, among other things. The experience students gain from participating in these teams not only improves engineering skills, it also demands student ownership of the entire engineering process. This is the kind of experience that results in the highest caliber of preparedness for a career in all engineering disciplines. What we do This year, each of our subteams are competing in national competitions. The Rocket Team has been selected to compete in the NASA University Student Launch Initiative, the Mars Rover Team is competing in the University Rover Challenge, and the Wind Energy Team is competing in the Collegiate Wind Competition. Each team is designing and building a competition rocket, Mars rover, and wind energy turbine, with many other specific sub-tasks and challenges that are built into each competition. Why We Need Your Help Our Engineering Club has a very detailed budget for each subteam, which accounts for materials, components, tools, and necessary license/certification fees. The biggest expense our subteams need help covering is travel expenses. After putting in hundreds of cumulative hours towards each project, it would be a shame for only a select few team members to be able to go to the competitions. Each competition is in a different state, and flights and hotels add up quickly, even when staying at the cheapest places possible. Please help us reach our modest fundraising goals so that we can bring every team member to competition that has put in a serious amount of work this academic year. The students in our club are part of the next generation of engineers who will advance our world's technology and industry. Supporting us is supporting the future of our world!

We regularly have new shooters and new firearm owners attend our range days and come to learn from our more experienced members and our Range Safety Officers. What We Hope To Fund Your donation will be used to help fund the expansion of our training options. Firstly, we need additional and improved equipment available for people wanting to take classes. Hearing and eye protection are an absolute necessity for everyone on the range, and currently most of our members bring their own and spares are limited. In-line with safety, the club will also need to renew our range insurance this coming semester. Our next most significant cost is training for additional Range Safety Officers, as our club is growing at a rapid pace. Training these individuals properly will also allow them to host beginner classes for the students and our surrounding community. More advanced courses also come with higher costs to hire instructors and buy the proper equipment.As a stretch goal, we would like to fund equipment that would allow us to run competitions such as USPSA, Steel Challenge, Long Range Shooting, and more. With your donation, we will grow our club and help to train many more students and community members about safe and effective firearm usage.

Annual Fall Stream Clean
Annual Fall Stream Clean
Help the WSU Water Resources Club clean up Dry Fork Creek as students and community members pick up litter that is collecting in the stream. Keep Pullman clean!
Help the WSU Water Resources Club clean up Dry Fork Creek as students and community members pick up litter that is collecting in the stream. Keep Pullman clean! Who are we? The Washington State University Water Resources Club explores the different fields that deal with issues around water and exposes students to opportunities to help the community and further pursue their passion for water-based problems. We welcome all students under VCEA, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, as well as environmental and other majors interested in water issues! What are we doing? Over the course of the next three years, WRC is participating in the Adopt-A-Stream campaign to clean up the Dry Fork Creek along South Grand Avenue from Fairmont Rd. Students, members of WRC, and community members will join together to clean up the litter that is being collected alongside the stream and inside. A major part of our club is community service, and this clean-up will be the foundation. The stream will be cleaned up four times annually, scheduled in August, October, February, and April. There is no fee to clean the stream or for any rental equipment we would be using! This will be an engaging routine management of a local stream where WSU students and community members clean up an aspect of our environment that is truly warranted, give back to their community, and meet new people who have the same interest in helping clean our environment. We hope to fundraise the money we need in order to provide no fees for any students and to ensure that we have all the equipment paid for. Your help: Donations made will help us make sure our goal is met to provide students and community members with the needed equipment for an annual clean-up that betters our stream and environment!

Wazzu "Racing" Their Way to Formula SAE
Wazzu "Racing" Their Way to Formula SAE
Help Wazzu Racing attend their national competition as the club goes beyond the classroom to compete against other universities at the Formula SAE competition
Help Wazzu Racing attend their national competition as the club goes beyond the classroom to compete against other universities at the Formula SAE competition About Wazzu Racing Wazzu Racing annually represents Washington State University at Formula SAE (FSAE); a collegiate design competition organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. This competition is based on a formula racecar that students have the opportunity to design and build. By competing, students are challenged to apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems which, in turn, bolster their ability to communicate and work in teams. The program is made up of over 35 students from various majors and class standings. As such the leadership roles in the team further demand an ever-improving capacity to manage projects and cross-functional teams. Our Cause This year, Wazzu Racing plans to compete at FSAE Michigan. However, the cost associated with travel, housing for our team, and transportation of the competition vehicle is beyond what we can currently afford. Donations will directly allow our team to showcase all of the hard work, dedication, and time we have spent designing and manufacturing our formula race car. Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to Michigan in May! What is Formula SAE? The Formula SAE competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete with small, formula-style vehicles. The competition is an engineering education competition that requires performance demonstration of vehicles in a series of events, both off track and on track against the clock. Each competition gives teams the chance to demonstrate their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Teams are to assume that they work for an engineering firm that is designing, fabricating, testing, and demonstrating a prototype vehicle. The vehicle should have high performance and be sufficiently durable to successfully complete all the events at the Formula SAE competitions. Each student team design will be judged and evaluated against other competing designs in a series of Static and Dynamic events to determine the vehicle that best meets the design goals, profitably, build, and marketability. The Formula SAE competitions are held in six locations worldwide, including two in the United States. We plan to compete in the Michigan Competition in May of 2022. Donate today and help Wazzu Racing get one step closer to competing in Michigan in May!

WSU Everett Engineering Club
WSU Everett Engineering Club
Help support the WSU Everett Engineering Club as they fundraise for two unique projects, the Mars Rover and Rocket team!
Help support the WSU Everett Engineering Club as they fundraise for two unique projects, the Mars Rover and Rocket team! Who We Are / Where We Are This inspiring little campus, somewhat unknown to the greater Cougar community, is the new Everett WSU. The WSU Everett Engineering Club believes in learning through hands-on experience and sets out to facilitate growth through such challenges that even the effort of attempting them will forever set its members apart. No matter if students go on to become the next astronauts, space industry entrepreneurs, clean-energy revolutionaries, or simply engineers of other terrestrial needs, it is this club's goal to strive to always be learning, to take full advantage of this special time in history, and to roll up our sleeves and get down to work when necessary. Our Inspiration Entering the workshop, you join in the fun, and get to witness the hive of activity of students moving in and out between classes, filling their spare moments with swift and urgent work at various projects. One minute you could be having a conversation about the efficiency difference of various propeller cambers in the Wind Energy Team's design, then brainstorm a launch lug mounting system on a rocket, and transition again to collaborating on the 3D design of a bracket that is minutes later prototyped and laser cut from wood, test fit, edited and cut again for final use. If it sounds like we have it pretty good here, that's the truth! It is our hope and goal to sustainably deepen and continue this experience for our students, setting them out into the world ready to be hands-on leaders in their respective fields, while drawing in an ever-improving cohort of talented STEM youth to benefit from the learn-by-doing creed. What We Do WSU Everett Engineering Club has under its umbrella three teams currently. This campaign is centered on progressing the efforts of the two space-themed teams under the club: Rocket and Rover. Wind Energy is somewhat set apart in that they have already secured funding, but are with us in spirit! Mars Rover: In 2016 a group of students went to the University Rover Challenge in the Utah desert and took 2nd place among 30 international teams! Since then, a complete rework and new rover design have begun. Although development was steady, COVID stalled out the progress of the build. That is until the 2021 group of students came back to campus in person with hustle and gusto, quickly accelerating the design/build cadence and preparing for our first entry into competition since the stellar performance six long years ago. This means that higher than normal costs are now anticipated. Between all the materials to go from prototype to final build, coupled with a reasonable and modest budget for travel, lodging, and Rover transport to the desert this summer, and most recently - even replacing a burned up central computer, your donation will help ensure our efforts are not stillborn but rather wondrous in pride they bring to the Cougar community! Rocket Team: The rocket team aims to advance as many of its members through the certification levels of the National Association of Rocketry and prepare for an outstanding first entrance into the competition next school year. To achieve level 1-3 certification, many rockets will have to be built (and possibly lost/exploded) in the next year before we can nail down everything from launch systems, recovery systems, flight computers and control, GPS tracking, apogee targeting, effective modeling of flight paths, designing efficient component parts like fins and nose cones. It is rocket science after all! Having just gone for L1 certifications by quickly building high-powered rocket kits, the team has learned a lot and will be quickly preparing for level 2 launches this Spring of 2022 while beginning design and component testing of the competition rocket for next school year! "It always seems impossible until it's done." - Nelson Mandela This is a special program, and we earnestly hope we can count on your support. Your donation, however small or large, goes towards the enhancement of this club and will be used efficiently yet aggressively to advance the efforts of the Rocket and Rover builds, while ambitiously competing against the brightest young engineering minds from universities around the world. Donate any amount today and help advance our efforts here to change the world! Shoot for the stars and you may just land on the moon.

Enhance student interest in pharmacy & medicine by providing an opportunity for students to develop their problem-solving and innovation skills.
Enhance student interest in pharmacy & medicine by providing an opportunity for students to develop their problem-solving and innovation skills. Washington State University’s American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) chapter is partnering with local Spokane Public Schools to create the first annual Cougar Rx Innovation Challenge. The goal of this project is to enhance student interest in pharmacy and medicine by providing an opportunity for students to develop their problem solving and innovation skills by addressing a community health need. Participating middle and high school students will partner with student pharmacists to investigate and innovatively solve a public health need in their community. Some topic examples include access to care, depression/anxiety, substance use disorders, immunizations, wellness, prescription and over the counter medications, and poison/overdose prevention. Groups will meet every two weeks between February and May to collaborate and complete their project. Requirements for this innovation challenge include an essay paper outlining the chosen topic/problem and solution, a visual outlining their project, one material to engage the community and distribute the idea (brochure, infographic, webpage, etc.), and a reflection essay. A panelist of judges will review all participating groups and select winners based on their presentation, level of effort and overall contribution to the community. By donating today, you are encouraging and helping support adolescents pursue a monetary prize that is directly donated to their school’s STEM program. All student participants will gain clinical, research, and critical thinking skills by working in small ratio teams to solve their innovation challenge. These skills will broaden their scope of understanding within the community and serve as an asset as they strive for success in all aspects of life. With your donation, we can realize our goal of engaging the next generation of healthcare providers in public health needs, and motivate them to realize their abilities to make a lasting impact on their community. Thank you for your support!

Help fund the 13th annual Kids’ Science and Engineering Day (KSED), an educational carnival-style event focused on hands-on academic activities. Who we are: The Washington State University Society of Women Engineers is dedicated to encouraging women to pursue engineering and STEM based fields, creating an inclusive environment for learning, and engaging with our community to share our passion for STEM. At WSU, we are focused on recruitment, retention, and service. We welcome women from the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture (VCEA) as well as math and science majors. Men are welcome to join our group and support their classmates and fellow future engineers. What we are doing: In the spring of 2022, we are hosting our 13th annual Kids’ Science and Engineering Day (KSED). KSED is a carnival-style event where elementary students ages K-5 can learn about basic science and engineering principles through fun, hands-on activities. It is important to us to promote interest in STEM at a young age, as many of us discovered our love for STEM during this formative time. We have a small charge for admission but aim to keep this event as inclusive as possible, so every student has an opportunity to explore STEM. Every student receives a T-shirt and goodie bag with more activities to do at home! We partner with other organizations across WSU to provide engaging activities to teach science and engineering outside the classroom. In 2020, we had 300 WSU student volunteers and over 250 elementary students registered for KSED and we hope to continue to impact so many members of our community. KSED is returning as an in-person event, and we do not want anyone to miss out! We are revisiting the theme “Dive into the Unknown!” In previous years, we have been unable to provide financial aid the organizations that volunteer to run a booth at this event. This year we hope to fundraise to ensure that finances will not restrict participation from new and returning partners post-Covid. Your donations will help us meet our goal to provide need-based support to our partners and continue to create a unique and exciting day of science for elementary students of the Palouse!

Support Crimson Robotics as we look to upgrade PainSaw, our 250lb competition-level fighting robot. Let's torch the competition together! Who we are: We are a cross-disciplinary student-run combat robotics club. We are building a 250 lb. combat robot to compete on the popular Discovery Channel TV show BattleBots. We want to represent WSU on the global stage. Each BattleBots episode is routinely viewed by several million people in 150 countries. In 2020, our robot, PainSaw, was accepted to compete on BattleBots. This made WSU one of the few undergraduate teams to ever be accepted on the show. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the 2020 Season of BattleBots due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim is to compete in the 2022 season of BattleBots. What we need: Competing on BattleBots is expensive. We are looking for financial support, tool donations, engineering services, and transportation services that will help us support further development, manufacturing, and competition costs for the 2022 season of BattleBots.

Give now and help our organization break through the stratosphere! The sky may be our limit, but we're reaching for the stars WSU Aerospace, also known as AIAA, is an engineering club that designs and builds rockets and remote control planes for competitions and personal projects. Within the club, we have Plane Team, which is currently working on a cargo plane to assist the Rocket Team on their testing. The Rocket Team is currently focused on getting several members certified through the National Association of Rocketry so they have the proper clearance to launch models and compete in Spaceport America Cup, currently they are planning on going to the 2023 competition. As a student-run, student-led club, we also help members learn material they wouldn’t learn in class. For example, we help students with more specific CAD applications such as fluid simulations, along with general concepts of aerodynamic design, flight physics, control systems, and more. WSU doesn't have an Aerospace Engineering degree or program, so for many students joining our club is the closest they can get to that kind of education and experience. WSU Aerospace club heavily depends on donations, fundraisers, and sponsorships to be able to do any building, designing, or competing. The main reason we currently need funding is for the rocket group to get certifications and funding for travel expenses. It’s expensive to get people to the certification levels that we need, but absolutely critical to the club being able to continue. Additionally, the costs of actually attending competitions add up quickly, even when we save where we can. In any given year we need to purchase parts for the competition rocket itself, and the cost of traveling to the competition. Give now and help our organization break through the stratosphere! The sky may be our limit, but we're reaching for the stars.

With your donation, we will be able to purchase emergency contraceptives & pamphlets to promote & empower students to take charge of their reproductive health. Pharmacists for Reproductive Education and Sexual Health (PhRESH) is a committee led by pharmacy students within our Washington State Pharmacy Association chapter at WSU Spokane. Our mission is to educate on contraceptive resources available within the Eastern Washington community. Over the past year, we have delivered both in-person and virtual presentations regarding contraceptive access and care both in the Spokane and Pullman communities. Through quality improvement surveys, we have identified that the resources available in these communities are not well known or utilized and that there are several barriers facing these communities in accessing contraceptive care. A large barrier we have identified was financial, especially with regard to emergency contraceptives. As a committee dedicated to increasing contraceptive accessibility within our community, our goal is to host an emergency contraceptive (EC) drive where we can offer free ECs and pamphlets which include resources for financial assistance and follow-up care. Since we have identified Pullman's resources are especially underutilized, we would like to conduct our first drive at WSU Pullman during the move-in week and fall family weekend, which will help students become oriented with their healthcare resources from the very beginning of their stay in Pullman. With your donation, we will be able to purchase these emergency contraceptives and pamphlets to promote and empower students to take charge of their reproductive health.

Your gift will go towards bringing targeted training to our students in the area of racial justice within psychology. Who we are The Clinical Psychology Graduate Student Organization (CPGSO) works to uphold the 3 pillars of our mission: Service, Giving, and Growth. We do this through community outreach, philanthropy, and by providing professional and personal development initiatives to our members– the graduate students in the Clinical Psychology program at WSU. What we need We are in a unique position as graduate students in the psychology department; not only are we students at WSU, but we are also therapists to and conduct assessment for students, staff, and community members. In addition to our roles as therapists, graduate students in our department serve as instructors, mentors, and researchers. From these positions we exert unique influence on the student body and broader WSU community. Among the competencies that are essential for our ability to support the WSU community, is a firm foundational knowledge of issues related to diversity, equity, and anti-racism. While these are topics incorporated into our coursework, now more than ever, we are seeing how essential it is that people in positions of influence go the extra mile in establishing habits, mentalities, and systems that disrupt racial inequity. Your gift will go towards bringing targeted training to our students in the area of racial justice within psychology. The effect of your gift will go beyond the individual students who go through this training; the knowledge we gain will inform our work at therapists, instructors, and researchers reverberating throughout the broader WSU community.

ASHP-Yakima Providing Care to Senior Residents
ASHP-Yakima Providing Care to Senior Residents
With your donation, we can continue to provide the same level of care and support to the Yakima senior residents as we have in the past.
With your donation, we can continue to provide the same level of care and support to the Yakima senior residents as we have in the past. Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, our ASHP-Yakima student society chapter hosted monthly health fair events at three long-term care facilities in the Yakima area. These events were an opportunity for pharmacy students to help elderly community members while practicing counseling and clinical skills including blood pressure screening, blood glucose monitoring, and comprehensive medication therapy management. The pandemic has made it unsafe for student pharmacists to visit and assist our senior residents in person. To solve this problem, our student society chapter has developed educational videos to engage the residents and reading materials focusing on many common disease states such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, and will be providing them an opportunity to interact with the students virtually. These videos were created with the specific population in mind and will be informative but easy to follow. We plan to deliver the media to facility residents via mobile devices such as iPads, tablets, or smartphones. By doing so we eliminate the risk of novel coronavirus exposure to facility residents and staff while still providing them health education resources. Since not all residents have access to mobile devices, we are hoping to fundraise to purchase tablet devices to distribute to our partnered retirement homes. These devices will be available for residents to borrow and use to view our educational media. The money will also help us provide cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment to make sure that the devices are clean and safe to use. With your donation, we can continue to provide the same level of care and support to the Yakima senior residents as we have in the past.

Your donations fund clothing kits to ensure that each sexual assault patient leaves the hospital with a fresh set of clothes, instead of hospital scrubs. Students Advocating for the Rights of Sexual Assault Survivors, also known as StARSS, is a group of four pharmacy students founded through the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA). StARSS’s mission is to educate future healthcare workers about sexual violence prevention and to make resources accessible to the WSU and greater Spokane community. In partnership with Lutheran Community Services (LCS), the goal of StARSS is to be the main source of distribution of clothing kits for the advocates who work with LCS. When a victim of sexual assault arrives to a hospital requesting a forensic exam, all of their clothes are surrendered as evidence. The purpose of these clothing kits is to restore dignity within each survivor. Your generous donations will fund these clothing kits and will ensure that each sexual assault patient is able to leave the hospital with a fresh set of clothes, rather than in hospital scrubs. How can you help? Make a donation between October 14th - November 25th. Share this page to participate in the fight against sexual violence, prevent victim blaming, and support survivors nationwide. Visit www.lcsnw.org and www.rainn.org for more information and resources regarding sexual assault prevention and education. Quotes from sexual assault survivors: "I was very nervous about this process, and the advocate has given me the information I needed to feel confident and informed properly to address this matter." "I would like to thank you all for your life changing services. I have much work to do to completely restore my life and faith and your support has given me hope and information that is necessary for my recovery. Thank you." "She goes out of her way to make sure all my needs are being met, to make it easier on me, to make my situation better. I hadn't left my home for years so when we were first meeting she made sure that we met in a place where I felt safe and comfortable. She is my guardian angel."

We are fundraising to purchase HP stream laptops that our veterans can check out for free through a contactless pickup run by our veteran center. The Veteran Center located at WSU Tri-Cities has provided a place for student veterans to gather and discuss issues we face after leaving the service. It also provides the 67 student veterans access to technology for research and completion of homework. However, since COVID-19 has shaken things up we have not been able to access the Veteran Center or its tech, leaving many student veterans to find alternative ways to access their support community and technology requirements for completing schoolwork and attending class. While the majority of student veterans have access to their own technology, 6% of student veterans polled relied on the Veteran center and other on-campus amenities for technology access. Those students are now struggling to afford or find reliable access to these valuable resources. Of the polled student veterans, 12% have had their technology fail in the last year. Some of these student veterans are only in need of access during periods when their current computers fail before they can afford to buy a new one. While the majority of student veterans have personal laptops, 3% of student veterans reported their laptops did not have built-in webcams or mics, which is now a requirement in order to participate in our virtual classrooms. The Patriots Club, our on-campus WSU Tri-Cities veteran advocacy group, is asking our community for support. We are fundraising to purchase HP stream laptops that our veterans can check out for free through a contactless pickup run by our veteran center. With any additional funds left over, we will be purchasing headsets and webcams to help our veterans whose computers do not have them built-in. Once the pandemic is over and the student veterans are able to return to campus, this technology will continue to have a great impact on our student veterans by allowing them to work on schoolwork off-campus as well as being able to take said tech into their classrooms and be more successful students. Thank you so much for taking the time to hear our story and if you are able to donate, we greatly appreciate any and all support and generosity!

Get WSU HOSA to the International Leadership Conference
Get WSU HOSA to the International Leadership Conference
WSU HOSA aims to get our members to an Int. Leadership Conference (ILC) where they will then compete against teams from China, Puerto Rico, Spain, and more.
WSU HOSA aims to get our members to an Int. Leadership Conference (ILC) where they will then compete against teams from China, Puerto Rico, Spain, and more. The purpose of the HOSA organization is to promote leadership and career skills in health care professions by allowing members to obtain hands-on experience in a competitive and academic environment. Members of the organization have the opportunity to compete in dozens of various healthcare related events (such as CPR, pharmaceutical sciences, medical terminology, etc) at the state and international level. It is the goal of WSU HOSA to get a small number of our members to the International Leadership Conference (ILC) where they will then compete against teams from China, Puerto Rico, Spain, and more. The ILC consists of thousands of HOSA members that are given opportunities to compete in events, attend workshops hosted by health professionals, attend career fairs, and meet future health professionals from around the globe! The location of the event alternates between Orlando Florida, and Houston Texas. To give WSU HOSA time to raise funds, our goal is to attend the 2022 ILC in June, Orlando Florida. In order to compete at the ILC, HOSA members must first qualify at the State Leadership Conference (SLC). Fortunately, there is only one other Washington State team, and that is the UW HOSA team. This means that our HOSA members will be automatic qualifiers for the ILC. We want to get our members to the ILC so that WSU is represented at the international level as well! The only thing standing between WSU and a spot at the ILC is the financial burden of attending. In order to compete, WSU HOSA members will need to pay the registration fee (roughly 100$), food, hotel, and possibly uniforms. We are fortunate enough to have our airline fees paid for, but we need support to cover the rest of the expenses.
