📰 News we're reading
• How Will Budget Shortfalls At WSU Impact CAHNRS? (pnwag.net) — Washington State University’s growing budget deficit could directly affect CAHNRS programs based in Pullman, but the dean says core teaching, research, and extension missions will be protected as much as possible. CAHNRS has already absorbed a 3% cut and is pushing innovation and new industry partnerships, while cautiously optimistic that stabilizing enrollment will eventually ease the financial strain on local students and faculty. 
• Commanders coach demanded 'blood in the snow' before win (yardbarker.com) — A former Washington State Cougar linebacker recalls freezing games in Pullman as motivation for warming up shirtless before the Commanders’ snowy win over the Giants. His memory of subzero practices on the Palouse helped shape the team’s “blood in the snow” mindset that snapped an eight-game losing streak and highlighted a resurgent defensive performance.
• AAEP Bestows Distinguished Educator Award for Mentorship Upon Dr. Stephen Reed (thehorse.com) — A longtime equine neurologist who once taught at Washington State University in Pullman has been honored nationally for his decades of mentoring veterinarians. Dr. Stephen Reed, now at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Kentucky, received the AAEP’s 2025 Distinguished Educator–Mentor Award, recognizing his influential teaching career that included formative years guiding students and residents on the Pullman campus.
