WSU Vancouver Cougar Pride Days 2008.
VANCOUVER – Cougar Pride Days will be held at WSU Vancouver April 16-17. Other campuses do not plan to hold the annual cleanup effort this year, in part due to budget cuts.

Projects 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, April 16, will include: boardwalk construction, Mill Creek preservation and trail enhancement, and office spring cleaning. Outdoor project volunteers may check in at the Facilities Operations building.
Projects 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, April 17, will include: painting the barn (weather permitting) and Mill Creek preservation and trail enhancement. Volunteers may check in at the Gray 5 parking lot.

Cougar Pride Days has roots dating back to the early part of the 20th century. Originally called “Campus Days,” it was a time in WSU’s history when trees were planted, sidewalks were built and the appearance of the campus was improved. It helped establish school spirit and Cougar pride. The tradition continues today.
