Our Mission

DGSS acts as an important link between WSU’s valuable resources as a land grant institution and the people and groups in the Northwest.

DGSS has consistently played its role as partner, making connections that increase the impact of societal improvement. By combining useful research, thorough training, and specialized analysis, DGSS continues to help the Northwest move forward, following its mission to improve the lives of the people it serves.
