Central Washington University

A personal, painful loss suffered by a student inspired
a rash action and a consequent haunting.

DESCRIPTION

In 1891 this institution of higher learning began as Washington State Normal School. As the college grew in size and enlarged its class offerings and majors, it went through several name changes. It was later changed to Central Washington College of Education, Central Washington State College and finally to Central Washington University.

While it continues to be one of the fastest growing universities in the state of Washington, it still has a very strong teacher training program.
