We know that it can be hard to make ends meet when you're paying for college and living on a tight budget. The Cougar Food Pantry provides free, nonperishable items to students in need of food.

The Cougar Food Pantry is only able to serve currently enrolled WSU Vancouver students and Clark College Nursing program students studying on the WSU Vancouver campus.

Not a student on the WSU Vancouver campus? Check out our guide to free community food resources in Clark County.

OSI Care Packages-Student Government (ASWSUV) is helping to fill the gap by supplying OSI Care Packages on Tuesdays noon - 2 p.m. in Orange lot 3 for curb side pick-up . Please email aswsuv.dla@wsu to request this service with "Care Package" in the subject line. Pick up dates: March 31, April 7, April 14, April 21 and April 28. Packages include food, cleaning supplies, hygiene products and games/activities for kids.

How can I participate?

1. Request food if you need it!

The Cougar Food Pantry is a free resource to benefit students at WSU Vancouver. If this resource would benefit you or your family, you are encouraged to utilize it. We strive to make the process as confidential as possible.
Request food
2. Refer students, friends and classmates

It can be hard to ask for help and sometimes we need a push from a friend or mentor to get the help we need.

3. Donate food

Bring nonperishable food items to the Cougar Center in the Student Services Center. We seek to provide nonperishable healthful foods for students experiencing food shortages. Here is a list of the items we're frequently low on:

beans (canned or dry)

boxed milk (dairy, soy, almond)

canned fruits and vegetables

canned meals (soups, stew, chili)

canned meat

canned tuna

healthy cereals

Dear WSU Students,

Recognizing that COVID‑19 has upended all our lives, and that some students face challenges that could impact their grades, WSU has developed an emergency adjustment to grading deadlines and policies for undergraduate students in the spring 2020 term. Most students will have the option for pass/fail grades in a wider variety of courses.

The deadline for choosing a Pass/Fail grade on a course‑by‑course basis has been extended to June 1.

The P/F option may also be used for UCORE and Honors courses this semester.

P grades may satisfy major requirements in many departments-check with the department.

FOR ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY:

The number of allowed course withdrawals (W) is being increased from 4 to 6.

The deadline for withdrawing is extended to May 1.

The choice of a P/F grade is left to you, and you can choose which course or courses you want for this option, subject to your department's policies. A Pass grade gives you credits, but does not contribute to your GPA. It is very important that you weigh whether P/F and W options may affect your financial aid or scholarships. Each college or department is deciding whether P/F grades are appropriate to its major and career requirements. Your academic advisor can guide you.

Other grading options are being investigated. We're moving as fast as we can while making sure there's no impact to students' financial aid packages and satisfactory academic progress. We'll keep you informed regarding any other grading changes.

Sincerely,

Bryan Slinker
Provost and Executive Vice President

Mary Wack
Vice Provost for Academic Engagement and Student Achievement

Application Deadline: December
Awards Announced: Early March

This unique program pairs high school science teachers with a mentor doing cutting-edge research in an academic lab or a lab associated with another nonprofit institution. The Murdock Trust awards approximately 25 Partners in Science grants each year to fund these teacher-mentor research opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to help teachers bring knowledge from the research lab directly into the classroom to promote hands-on science education. After reading the program guidelines and the instructions and checklist, the research mentor or the high school teacher may begin the application process through the Grants Portal. The completed application must be submitted by the mentor's institution.

Partners in Science work occurs over the course of two summers. After the first summer, partners develop a pictorial poster showing their research to date for presentation at the National Partners in Science conference. After the second year of work with their mentors, partners return to the conference to deliver an oral presentation on their progress.

Teachers are expected to arrange their own partnerships, although the Trust has provided a list of some potential research projects submitted by scientists from the Pacific Northwest who are willing to serve as mentors in the Partners in Science Program. Additionally, a list of individuals who have agreed to serve as contact persons at their respective institutions for the Partners in Science Program is available on this institutional contact list by state. For more information on Partners In Science, please email Kim Newman.

Teachers who have completed a regular (two-summer) Partners in Science grant are eligible to apply through their high schools for a Supplemental Partners in Science grant. Here is a list of recent regular Partners awards and supplemental Partners awards. Invitations to submit a Supplemental proposal will be emailed to all eligible Partners in early summer.

If you are a current or veteran Partners in Science program partner, you may access the current Partners Directory. Partners are listed in the Directory alphabetically by state and last name within their award year. To update your email address(es) and/or phone number(s), contact Marybeth Stewart Goon.

AP-NORC Poll: 66% Favor Endorsement Money for NCAA Athletes

by Ralph D. Russo, Associated Press, 1/14/2020

According to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, about two-thirds of Americans support college players being permitted to earn money for endorsements. This research comes at a time when the NCAA is grappling with how to provide athletes opportunities to be compensated for their fame. The association has turned to federal legislators for help and hopes to set national parameters for what is permissible compensation for athletes.

About May 2018 National, State, Metropolitan, and Nonmetropolitan Area Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
(1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers.

(2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.

(3) The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, the more precise the estimate.

(4) Wages for some occupations that do not generally work year-round, full time, are reported either as hourly wages or annual salaries depending on how they are typically paid.

(5) This wage is equal to or greater than $100.00 per hour or $208,000 per year.

Visualize it: Wages and projected openings by occupation

|

When making career decisions, you may find visual presentations of data useful for comparing occupations. The following charts from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) can help you to assess, at a glance, the pay and projected openings for hundreds of occupations.

With the scatter charts that follow, you can compare occupations by median annual wages in 2018 and openings projected each year, on average, from 2018 to 2028. The farther to the right a data point is in a chart, the more openings an occupation is projected to have. The higher a data point is, the greater an occupation's wage. A line in each chart shows the 2018 median annual wage for all workers ($38,640).

Nearly all occupations in the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook ( OOH) are represented in six charts. The charts combine multiple OOH occupation groups with titles adapted as follows:

Computers, engineering, science, and math

Construction, production, repair, and farming

Education, protective service, social service, and legal

Food, media, entertainment, and arts

Healthcare, personal care, and cleaning

Office, sales, transportation, management, and business

Most openings arise when workers leave an occupation permanently and need to be replaced (openings from separations). Other openings are from new jobs created in an occupation that need to be filled (openings from growth). Every occupation is projected to have at least some openings due to separations, even if employment in the occupation is projected to decline.

Computers, engineering, science, and math

The occupations in chart 1 are projected to have about 705,200 annual average openings over the projections decade. More than half of these projected openings are in the computer and information technology group, with software developers projected to have the most openings (134,600) of the occupations in the chart.

Each of the 71 occupations in chart 1 had an annual wage above the median for all workers. And many had a wage that was more than double or triple that amount. The highest earning occupation in chart 1 is petroleum engineers ($137,170).

Construction, production, repair, and farming

Openings for the occupations shown in chart 2 are projected to total about 2 million annually, on average. Of the occupations shown, construction laborers and helpers is expected to have the most openings (216,000), followed by assemblers and fabricators (182,600).

Thirty-seven of the 51 occupations in chart 2 had an annual wage above the median for all workers. Power plant operators, distributors, and dispatchers ($83,020), in the production group, had the highest wage of the occupations in this chart.

Education, protective service, social service, and legal

About half of the 1.4 million annual average openings in chart 3 are projected to be in the education, training, and library group. Security guards and gaming surveillance officers is the occupation projected to have the most openings of those shown in chart 3: about 155,200 each year, on average, from 2018 to 2028.

Twenty-six of the 32 occupations in chart 3 had an annual wage that was above the median for all workers. Those in the group had some of the highest wages in the chart, notably ($120,910) and judges and hearing officers ($117,190).

The occupations in chart 4 are projected to have about 2.7 million openings each year, on average, from 2018 to 2028. Food and beverage serving and related workers is the occupation projected to have more openings than any other in this article: more than 1.1 million annually, on average.

Nineteen of the 29 occupations in chart 4 had an annual wage above the median for all occupations. Nearly all of the occupations in the arts and design group and the media and communication group had a wage above the median, compared with one ( chefs and head cooks) in the food preparation and serving group.

BLS does not publish annual wages for actors (7,700 openings), dancers and choreographers (3,600 openings), and musicians and singers (22,400 openings) because workers in these occupations do not usually work full-time, year round. As a result, these occupations are not included in the chart.

Healthcare, personal care, and cleaning

Openings for the occupations in chart 5 are projected to total about 2.8 million annually, on average, over the 2018-28 decade. Home health aides and personal care aides combined are expected to have more openings from growth than any other occupation (118,600).

Chart 5 shows 58 occupations, 37 of which had an annual wage above the median for all workers. Most of the high-wage occupations in chart 5 are in healthcare. The wage for physicians and surgeons is the highest of any occupation, shown here as greater than or equal to $208,000-the top median annual wage published by BLS.

Office, sales, transportation, management, and business

The occupations in chart 6 are projected to have about 6.9 million openings each year, on average, from 2018 to 2028. Retail sales workers and , both in the group, are projected to have the most openings of the occupations in the chart, with combined annual average openings of more than 1.3 million. Although BLS projects overall employment in these two occupations to decline, many openings are still expected as workers leave permanently and need to be replaced.

Sixty-four of the 79 occupations shown in chart 6 had an annual wage that was higher than the median for all workers-including each of the occupations in the management group and the business and financial group.

For more information

Wage data in the charts are from the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program, which produces employment and wage estimates annually for more than 800 detailed occupations. Projections data are from the BLS Employment Projections program.

Get more information about all of the occupations in these charts from the Occupational Outlook Handbook. To learn more about occupational separations and openings, watch this video: "Understanding BLS projections of occupational separations."
