Elson Floyd's legacy lives on at Washington State
Washington State University president Elson Floyd passed away over the weekend and it outpouring of emotion following the news was incredible.
Brian Floyd of SB Nation's Cougcenter wrote a nice piece on Floyd's enduring legacy at WSU, which can be found here.
Here's a snippet from the piece:
"The fact that everyone here has been sharing their thoughts about Elson Floyd, both publicly and privately, tells you something. It's pretty remarkable to see the outpouring of emotion following the news of Floyd’s death and the affirmation of how much people truly liked him came with it. It's rare to see and tells you just how special he was to those who knew him.
While the medical school was Dr. Floyd’s greatest accomplishment, and something he pushed so incredibly hard for while fighting for his life, it won't be the only legacy he leaves behind. Despite how grand of an achievement the medical school is, Dr. Floyd did something much more abstract but also meaningful in his time at Washington State. He didn't just save money, balance budgets and squeeze out raises for employees, all of which were important procedural pieces of his administration.
Instead, the legacy Dr. Floyd leaves behind at Washington State is the culture he instilled at the university."
