Historical Note
The president is the chief executive officer of the multi-campus Washington State University system and reports to a 10-member Board of Regents.
As the University's leader, the president collaborates with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to define the vision and set the direction for the institution. As the champion of its reputation, the president articulates the strategic goals and messages of the University in order to build broad support for and ownership of WSU's aspirations among its many constituents, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, the Board of Regents, the WSU Foundation, local communities, government, business, and industry leaders statewide, the media, and the general public. Samuel (Sam) H. Smith was selected by the Board of Regents on March 7, 1985, to serve as the institution's 8th president. He took office at age 45 on July 1, 1985, and served for 15 years.

This is an unprocessed collection. Any arrangement reflects either a pre-existing order from the records' creators or previous custodians, or preliminary sorting performed by staff.

Location of Collection
(MASC STAFF USE) 2-37-10-5Acquisition Information
This material was transferred to WSU Libraries' MASC by Margaret Singbeil of Dr. Smith's Seattle office on March 4, 2020, and retained as UA2020-01.
Processing Note
(MASC STAFF USE) Should be coprocessed with several other MASC-held President Smith records. He's cleaned out his offices and no further WSU papers should be coming, but personal papers (potentially including WSU materials) still might be. I'd give some consideration to holding off on processing until after Dr. Smith's eventual death.

Other Sam Smith accessions and papers are leld here in MASC.
