The mission of the William D. Ruckelshaus Center is to help parties involved in complex public policy challenges in the State of Washington and the Pacific Northwest tap university expertise to develop collaborative, durable, and effective solutions.
The Center envisions a future in which government leaders, policy makers, and citizens routinely employ tools of collaborative decision making to design, conduct, and implement successful public policy processes. The Center is a joint effort of Washington’s two research universities

Simplifying Outdoor Recreation Passes and Fees

Welcomes and Farewells

Since the last eNews, the Center has benefited from the talents of several new staff members:
- WSU Communication graduate Haley Hughes, Communication Coordinator;
- UW Evans student Terri Gu, Development Intern;
- WSU graduate Shane Carnohan and UW Evans student Alexa Schreier, Project Coordinator and Research Intern (respectively) for our Recreation Fees project; and
- Renske Dyedov (formerly with the Emerging Leaders in Science and Society Program) who served as the coordinator of our 2017 Chairman’s Circle Luncheon and fall 2017 Board meeting.
With Shane and Renske departing, we thank them for their outstanding work while looking forward to continuing to work with Haley, Terri and Alexa.
