Ever since I was a kitten, I’ve been digging in the dirt, gazing at the stars, exploring new places and searching for answers to questions about our world.

As a land grant university, it is WSU’s mission to meet the needs of the people of our state when we are abl...
What if our crops and land were devastated by something totally unexpected or unforeseen? Hopefully we have some sort of contingency plan to fall back onto. But, what if we didn’t? This is more the case than we realize. The devastating loss caused by the Omak, Okanogan, Brewster and Conconully forest fires continues, and the ongoing needs are tremendous! A number of us from Christ Lutheran here in Odessa as well as other members of the Odessa community have taken the time and effort to make contacts with our neighbors to t...
