Annual Convocation for WSU ARCS Fellows

Recent ARCS Events

On the eve of the October 5th fundraising luncheon, Lynn and Mikal Thomsen once again opened their home to our WSU ARCS Fellows, faculty and our donors. This gathering was eagerly anticipated by our continuing Fellows, who knew what a great time they would have. The convocation is one of the rare opportunities our WSU Fellows have to mingle with their donors on the west side of the mountains. We are very grateful for the Thomsens’ continuing commitment to all these young people.
