WSU at Benaroya Hall:
In Concert with Communities
Join Washington State University President Elson S. Floyd on September 6 for this showcase of the partnerships between WSU faculty and the community members—farmers, ranchers, fishers, business owners, and non-profit leaders—who work side-by-side with their land grant university. Working together, these partners steward our environment, make fascinating new discoveries, create jobs and businesses, raise fresh, healthy, local food, and offer lifelong educational opportunities to the citizens of Washington state.
Enjoy hearty appetizers prepared by some of Seattle’s top chefs using Washington-grown ingredients supplied by farmers and ranchers attending the event. A dozen of Seattle’s hottest restaurants will be preparing menu items for your enjoyment. You’ll also have a chance to sample Washington wines, beers, and ciders, and learn the story behind the great tastes of our state.
Hosted by Dan Bernardo, Dean, College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences and Linda Kirk Fox, Associate Vice President and Dean, WSU Extension.
Tickets: $40 in advance / $50 at the door
