Erin Baccus

Board Member

Whether she’s with her Bunko group, a fantasy football gathering, or just hanging out with other parents, Erin Baccus always speaks about the virtues of Washington State University. As a proud 1993 WSU graduate, touting the WSU experience to anyone who will listen comes naturally to her.

When she noticed on Facebook that WSU’s CougParents Advisory Board was seeking new members, she immediately thought it would be a perfect fit for her. Erin appreciates the opportunity to work with other parents and WSU graduates on the board to support students and give back to the WSU community that warmly welcomed her 28 years ago.

“Pullman is a perfect college town, you get a great education, and students have great careers after graduation,” Baccus said. “You can’t ask for a better college experience.”

Two weeks after she graduated from WSU, Erin married her college sweetheart, Skip, and the rest is history. Today, all three of their children, Austin, Morgan, and Lovee, are attending WSU Pullman, and if that isn’t impressive enough, all three are majoring in computer science.

Erin uses her voice on the CougParents Advisory Board to help promote the quality of WSU’s education - especially in the STEM areas where her kids are thriving.

“My kids grew up loving WSU and we have pictures of them on campus since they were very young,” she said. “I want to do my best to help promote WSU so other students and parents can experience what a special place it is.”
