Remembering Elson Floyd on Father's Day

As we celebrate Father's Day, we remember one of the best presidents our beloved university ever had.

Good morning, Cougar fans, and Happy Father's Day. Many of us who are dads, and/or are still lucky enough to have our dads in our life are likely preparing to celebrate the day. Before we do that, however, we must pause to mourn the passing of Dr. Elson Floyd, WSU's tenth president. As you all know, Dr. Floyd passed away Saturday after a battle with colon cancer.

As I mentioned, Dr. Floyd (whose nickname E-Flo was coined at the University of Missouri) was the tenth president at WSU.
