WSU Honors Students Makeup Nearly Half of Undergraduate Presentations at University’s Academic Showcase

PULLMAN, Wash.—The Washington State University Honors College is poised to make a strong appearance at Friday’s university-wide Academic Showcase; 15 of the 33 undergraduate participants are Honors students.
