Each week, we will showcase one of our CAHNRS Ambassadors, a student leadership organization that encourages students to pursue higher education and serves as a liaison between the college and the greater community. This week, we’re featuring Ariana Paynter, a senior from Mill Creek, Wash.

Why WSU?
I decided to come to WSU because of the school pride and sense of safety and home-like feel that you cannot find anywhere else.
