About Ana Burton
I can\'t define it, I can\'t tell someone who isn\'t a cougar what it\'s like. There\'s something that happens at Washington State; you quietly and subtly become infected.Washington State is a passion. Being a cougar is a passion.” ― Jim WaldenThe “Cougar Spirit” runs deep at Washington State University and it’s an awesome feeling to be part of a global community that bleeds crimson. Whether you’re an alum or Adopted Cougar like me, passions are fueled at WSU. Funding passions and connecting donors with students, faculty, and programs that inspire bold thinking and global impact is the mission of the WSU Foundation.
