Cougs Help Cougs
Photos and Writing by Logan Gallinger
In this photo essay, I wanted to capture some of the ways that the Washington State University students are interconnected with each other, and almost hold a standard of excellence and quality of work among each other. Now, this is not limited to just the students, but both academic and non-academic staff. I thought it would be a little too simple to photograph WSU students, say, asking their instructors for advice or other academic figures. Instead, I wanted to focus on that internal work among the students, and I felt led to take some pictures at the Terrell Library Student Writing Center and the Math Learning Center. Both of these programs run off of peer mentoring, and they encourage that betterment from one’s peers.
These were also services I have utilized in my years here at WSU, and at the end of the day, they really show that Cougs really do help Cougs. These photos were taken when I was given permission to photograph those that were using the provided services.
