Coug Pride
As Vice President and Event Coordinator for Coug Pride, WSU Vancouver’s Queer Registered Student organization – or club, I’ve worked to foster a safe, inclusive, and affirming space on campus for queer students and allies. In this role, I’ve led the planning and execution of community-centered events that celebrate identity, build connection, and promote visibility. When our officer numbers dropped, I stepped up to support our marketing efforts—creating flyers, managing social media, and helping maintain a consistent presence—until we rebuilt a strong, full leadership team. This experience reinforced the importance of adaptability, collaboration, and the ongoing work it takes to create spaces where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered.
