Last year the Graduate School transitioned many of its update and approval processes to Smartsheet. One of these was the Graduate Program Contacts List, an essential resource for supporting programs and students across the WSU system.
Because people frequently move between roles, the list is updated three times per year to keep contact information current.
At this time, we ask graduate programs to review and update
Updates can be submitted directly from that page through the web app, which uses Smartsheet as its backend but is not the native Smartsheet interface. To make updates, please follow the instructions and create an account using the Contributor sign-in option in the app. Note that to edit, your WSU email must be included in the program card. If your name is not listed, please contact Miriam Drake-Weiss at miriam.drake-weiss@wsu.edu to be added.
For each graduate program, please confirm or update the following contacts. If a role is not separately assigned, indicate who is fulfilling multiple responsibilities. Please confirm the update status for each program even if no changes are needed.
- School Director / Department Chair, Holds primary administrative oversight, approves program policies, and has primary signature authority for graduate student documentation.
- Graduate Program Director, A faculty member delegated by the chair or director who leads the academic and administrative aspects of the program and may sign graduate student documentation when authorized.
- Faculty Administration Roles, Additional faculty assigned program administration responsibilities at the plan or campus level, if applicable.
- Staff Graduate Program Coordinator, The main program contact managing day-to-day operations, including admissions, student progress tracking, and program records.
- Program Assessment Support Contact, The individual responsible for supporting program assessment at each campus location, if applicable.
