±¬ÁϹ«Éç Washington Washington's Newest Online University
±¬ÁϹ«Éç Washington is taking the Evergreen State by storm. At the official launch last month, leaders from the state's community and technical colleges, state government, and others celebrated what ±¬ÁϹ«Éç Washington's online degree programs will mean for the state's residents.
Leslie Goldstein, Governor Gregoire's Education Policy Advisor, said the Governor considers ±¬ÁϹ«Éç Washington "truly ground-breaking without breaking ground." State Representative Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney said she co-sponsored the ±¬ÁϹ«Éç Washington legislation with State Senator Jim Kastama so that "all students who want an education, dislocated workers, place-bound students, those coming from the military, and those who want a change in their careers [can] help fill that high demand of industry and business."
