COMMUNITY AND RURAL SOCIOLOGY
In the spring of 2009, as part of its response to the ongoing fiscal crisis facing the State and University, Washington State University decided to phase out the Department of Community and Rural Sociology. The Department will close its doors in June 2010.
Department faculty have a longstanding commitment to academic programs that create and disseminate knowledge to assist individuals, families, and communities to actively participate in societal change while guiding their own development. Faculty will continue to be active in research, outreach, and teaching on the role of people and communities in Washington and beyond in shaping their social, environmental, and economic sustainability. The current web site presents contact and additional information for these faculty. Individuals may also contact Dr. Raymond Jussaume (rajussaume@wsu.edu 509 335-7626) for additional information about faculty and their programs.
