EVERETT, Wash. – Feb. 13, 2019 - Farmers around the city of Dajabón, Dominican Republic are mostly subsistence farmers, only able to grow enough food for themselves and their families to eat. WSU researchers, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Everett, are working to help those farmers increase their harvest so they can sell their produce at market. “This project aims to enhance family income through family greenhouse gardens,” said Anthony Gromko, WSU Extension assistant professor of Economic and Community Development. “This is a poverty alleviation effort, where we can empower families to increase their economic resiliency.” » More ...

December 9, 2018 - "Mark Walsh is deathly afraid of open water. You’ll never catch him taking a dip in the ocean. Paddle around with that huge expanse hidden beneath the surface? Nope, not going to happen. "So you’d think the opportunity to work for an ocean exploration company — one that’s building a five-man submersible to take tourists more than 2 miles down into the briny deep — might be pretty low on Walsh’s list of dream jobs. But that’s where he ended up, and he’s loving every minute of it. “It’s been a blast,” he said. "Walsh, 37, spent 12 years in the U.S. Air Force before earning an electrical engineering degree from Washington State University-Everett in 2017. He now serves as the electrical engineering lead for OceanGate Inc., a 9-year-old Everett firm located about a mile from the WSU campus." » More ...
