073. Catching up with WSU Everett Chancellor Paul Pitre

Paul Pitre came to WSU as a junior faculty member in the

College of Education. Now, he’s the chancellor of WSU Everett. The ascent is

impressive. And… so is the WSU Everett campus.

Dr. Pitre has always been interested in higher education,

and education policy. It’s taken him from his home in Western Washington, to

the Northeast, to the South. Oh, and there was a little stop in there at the U

of I where he played football under famed coach Dennis Erickson.

We had the chance to sit down with Dr. Pitre, just to get an

update. To find out what’s going on at WSU Everett, and find out what brought

him to higher ed in the first place.
