The first annual awards event for the WSU Tri-Cities College of Medicine faculty was a success! Our Tri-Coug student nominations were thorough and thoughtful and truly highlighted our faculty’s commitment to students. To finally have an opportunity to formally appreciate and honor our faculty was a pleasure. Our Tri-Coug team enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate and recognize ALL that our faculty do to support medical education during clinical campus weeks, the LIC and for our MS4s rotating around the State. Student representation was maximized as we held the event during clinical campus week for the Class of 2026. Further, we had representation from the Class of 2024 and from the Class of 2023. Student participation was key by having student nominators come forward to express their individual impressions and experiences of each award recipient. The nights success culminated with expressions of gratitude and appreciation to our faculty and an invitation to join us again next year.”
