Educational research organization foundry10 has invested in these research opportunities at CWU to assist students and faculty in furthering the way they learn.
Undergraduate research is one of the most promising high-impact practices to enhance student engagement and success. The scope of our research grant program goes beyond traditional scientific research, and we support and advance student scholarship and creative activities such as creative writing, arts, performance, and entrepreneurship. Through those activities, students are able to enhance their academic curiosity, learn new approaches to express themselves, and challenge them to critically resolve real-world problems.” Yoshiko Takahashi Dean of Undergraduate Studies, CWU “ ISABELLE SILVERNAIL (’26)

CONSECUTIVE GIVING MATTERS Since 1996, retired Emeritus faculty member Bob Jones (’71) and his wife, Marie, have shown their continuous support for Central year after year. Not only did Bob work for the library, but he was also part of the committee that established the Friends of the Library Fund with the CWU Foundation. When Bob retired from Central, he and Marie never wavered in their commitment to CWU and the libraries. The significance of what our library can offer because of consistent gifts, like the Jones’, has made a large impact on students and the resources available to them. Because of donors, some of my financial stress is lifted from my shoulders and I can focus more on what college should be about—my education. It is difficult to put into words the way that this donation will change my life. You are assisting me in my dream of becoming a teacher, and for that I will forever be grateful.”
