Office of Corporate Engagement WSU-SEL Collaboration Week

Join us in celebrating WSU’s partnership with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories

WSU and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL https://selinc.com/) have enjoyed a long-term partnership. Started in Pullman by a WSU alumnus, SEL has grown to a worldwide organization with over 5500 employees. Not only is SEL a neighbor and community partner to WSU, but the company has provided years of support to WSU in the forms of philanthropy, sponsored research, student internships and recruitment, and more.

To celebrate our partnership and provide opportunities for our students and faculty to interact with SEL professionals, we are having SEL-WSU Collaboration Week September 13-17 with multiple events for students and faculty.  We look forward to seeing you there!
