Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) issued the following statement today after the passing of Washington State University President Elson S. Floyd: “Today is a sad day for the whole State of Washington. President Floyd’s leadership made Washington State University a leading research institution and he shepherded the university through tough financial times, securing resources to serve the many classes to come,” DelBene said. “President Floyd was beloved by his students, faculty, staff, friends and family, and he will be missed tremendously by all. My thoughts and prayers are with Carmento and their children, and the entire WSU family.” Floyd was the 10th President of the Washington State University. During his tenure WSU research grants tripled and the diversity of enrollment increased. # # # |
