Urban Campuses: Covers WSU Tri-Cities, WSU Spokane and WSU Vancouver to give the perspective on the university’s three urban campuses. This tradition began in the 1993 edition of The Chinook, the first year the formerly named branch campuses were featured in the book. Now students at urban campuses have been able to enjoy The Chinook for over a decade. Students at urban campuses who are interesting in contributing stories and photos to The Chinook may contact the editor Laura Karavitis at editor@chinookyearbook.com.
