Bryan has been working with our academic clubs on a temporary assignment since mid-August, and we are thrilled to have him join us on a permanent basis as a special events coordinator. Bryan hails from Fox Island and is 2000 WSU graduate with degrees in Economics and Spanish. We've already begun deprogramming Bryan to turn him into a Husky loyalist.
