Washington State University Commencement Ceremony is Saturday. Throughout this week we are highlighting our senior student-athletes class of 81 student-athletes who, combined, have an average 3.00 GPA in a wide-range of majors. Today is Rowing senior student-athlete Katie Dick. Katie was recognized today as the outstanding senior in the Department of Philosophy. Congratulations Katie! Go Cougs!
"I wouldn't be here without my scholarship. It gave me the opportunity to receive an education. I will be the first member of my family to graduate from college. That is real exciting to me and also for my family. It was a life-changing opportunity to get my degree here. It means everything to me." "When I first came here I didn't really understand the relationship people had to being a Coug, or why it stayed with them after they graduated. After five years here I definitely understand it now. It's one of those things that becomes part of your life. It sticks with you. This is my school. This is my home. There are so many memories around this campus, Pullman, and my teammates. It's become so much more than a University to me, it's definitely home." Cougar Athletics congratulates the Spring 2013 Washington State University graduating class!
Washington State University Commencement Ceremony is Saturday.

Today's student-athletes are men's basketball senior student-athlete Mike Ladd and volleyball senior Rachel Todorovich.
"It means a lot to be a COUG. This is something that will be a part of my life forever. I matured a lot during my time here and had a lot of good experiences. I'm very thankful for receiving a scholarship. Getting my degree was one of my all-time goals and having a scholarship helped me achieve that goal." - Mike Ladd "My overall experience as a WSU Cougar is undoubtedly one-in-a-million. Through wins and losses, adversity or prosperity, our community and fellow Cougs were always by our side, either cheering us on or fighting back. Cougs never quit; we ban together to create an army. Being a Coug has molded me into an individual who can face adversity, adapt to different types of people or situations, and stand strong for what I believe in. I am able to proudly say that I am a Coug." - Rachel Todorovich Cougar Athletics congratulates the Spring 2013 Washington State University graduating class! Go Cougs!
Washington State University Commencement Ceremony is Saturday. Throughout this week we will be highlighting our senior student-athletes class o 81 student-athletes who, combined, have an average 3.00 GPA in a wide-range of majors. Today is senior soccer student-athlete Mariah Cameron.
"The moment I set foot on this campus, I fell in love. I fell in love with the town, with the school, but most of all with the people. The kindness and compassion that Cougs and the surrounding community display is unparalleled. And the way that this beautiful community has so loyally supported us as athletes has made my experience at WSU exceptional. Those who never get the opportunity to be a part of WSU family will never understand what it is like. And they will never understand the depths that a solid 'Go Cougs!' can reach. Or how much truth rings with the statement,'Once a Coug, Always a Coug.' The camaraderie, generosity, and passion that I have experienced at WSU only further constitutes it, in my mind, as the best place I could ever spend four years." Cougar Athletics congratulates the Spring 2013 Washington State University graduating class! Go Cougs!

"Receiving a scholarship for golf at WSU meant years and years of hard work from a young age had finally paid off. It also meant that the University was trusting me to represent them in the highest manner both on and off the golf course, and it is a privilege to do this every day. To be a Coug makes me very proud. It makes me a part of the closest family in all of college sports. It means that whenever I wear Crimson and Gray I get to represent all of Cougar Nation and I do so with honor. And, of course, it means I can yell 'Go Cougs!' whenever and wherever and always know I will hear a 'Go Cougs!' yelled back." Cougar Athletics congratulates the Washington State University graduating class of Spring 2013! Follow Hank and the Cougar men's golf team at the Pac-12 Championships today through Thursday.

The summer edition of Cougars Quarterly is hitting mailboxes. Featured in the issue is an exclusive interview with Director of Athletics Bill Moos. Moos covers a variety of topics ranging from facility development, including The Cougar Football Project, to The Seattle Game, the Cougar Athletic Fund, this season's Apple Cup, and what it means to him to be a Coug. Below is an excerpt from the interview.
Cougars Quarterly: As you begin your third season as Director of Athletics, has coming back to WSU been everything you expected it to be? Moos: It has and then some. I've been very pleased with the support I've received from President (Elson) Floyd and his entire administration, from the Board of Regents, and all the fans. I really feel Cougar Athletics is ripe to make a move within the conference and be a respected and competitive program in all our sports. We're making some very good strides. Cougars Quarterly: What did you take away from WSU as a student that you applied in your career? Moos: The thing that is so special about Washington State is that in many regards it is timeless. The experience that I had as a student-athlete at Washington State in the early '70s is not dissimilar to the experience of the student-athletes today. It is a fabulous campus in a wonderful community where everybody seems to know and care about everybody else. What I took away in 1973 when I left are many, many fond memories and having learned some valuable lessons in becoming an adult and moving on with my life. It's a thrill for me to have an opportunity to finish my career where I started it and have the chance to give something back.
Cougars Quarterly: Can you talk about the Pac-12 television contract and what effect that has made to Cougar Athletics? Moos: There are many features in our Pac-12 television deal. There are some that are essential for our ability to see growth and prosperity in Cougar Athletics. First and foremost is the fact that we are sharing our TV money equally. That has not been the case in the history of our conference. Without that, we would not be able to talking about the renovation of Martin Stadium, the football operations building, or even having Mike Leach and his football staff here. Those monies are invested and I think invested very wisely. However, along with that comes some sacrifices and some of those have to do with the days and times our football and men's basketball games are going to be played. This is not unique to the Pac-12 this is happening across the country as television partners are shelling out big, big dollars to have the opportunity to have key competitions on the TV windows they select. Our opener at BYU is going to be on Thursday in a prime window, an exclusive window. There will be no other competition in college football in that window. You can't put a price tag on that for exposure for our university. The same holds true two weeks later for a Friday game at UNLV. Cougars Quarterly: Is that the reason why the Apple Cup was moved to the Friday after Thanksgiving? Moos: I know there has been some concern from fans about the Apple Cup being played on Friday, but again that is the result of where our television partners have placed us that day. In fact, half the schools in the Pac-12 will be playing on that Friday. It's not unique to us and won't be happening every year. It's something our fans have got to get used to. I'm hoping they will understand and they will be here to support us. If we are going to have a successful football program we are going to have to sacrifice some holidays. Ideally, the main one that we want to sacrifice is New Year's Day.
