Pullman Campus

Welcome to Pullman Center

We are pleased you are curious about us and interested in fulfilling your educational goals at our Center. We are currently open to the public Monday-Friday, 8-4 pm.  You can also meet with us by phone, chat, and email.

The Pullman Center offers a small-town experience combined with the excitement and diversity of a large university. Even though the WSU campus might seem pretty big, our class sizes are small, and we can provide great individual support to our students.

We serve students earning college credits for individual courses, pursuing an associate of arts, business, or science or a business transfer degree (BTD), and Running Start for WA high school juniors and seniors. We also offer English as a Second Language, High School Diploma (HS+) and GED® programs.

The partnership with WSU offers our students transfer counseling and puts students on a path to seamless transfer to a four-year WSU degree. Search Pullman Class Options   or   Online Classes

News

CCS Pullman is hiring! We are inviting applications for adjunct teaching vacancies in Biology, Health, and Physical Education during the winter and spring quarters, January 2– March 20, and April 1 – June 18, 2025.

Dr. Matthew Rhode PortraitWe welcome Dr. Matthew Rhode among the CCS Pullman faculty. He is a biological anthropologist, bioarchaeologist, and forensic anthropologist specializing in the analysis of human bones. An anthropology’s “jack of all trades,” Dr. Rhode has adventured around the world in Chile, Peru, Hawaii, Laos, and Vietnam. His career has zigzagged like a treasure map, fueled by his passion for bones and teaching. Fun fact: Indiana Jones was his early inspiration – after all, who wouldn’t be motivated by a whip-wielding archaeologist?

Dr. Bill Schlosser PortraitWe were thrilled to have Dr. Bill Schlosser present at this year’s CCS eLearning Academy. His session, “Building Connections and Fostering Engagement: A Pedagogical Journey," highlighted innovative ways to enhance student engagement and success. This year’s Academy also featured CCS colleagues and distinguished guest speakers, including Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant, Director of UC San Diego’s Academic Integrity Office and author of Academic Integrity in the Twenty-First Century, and Dr. Cate Denial, Professor of American History and Director of the Bright Institute at Knox College, as well as author of A Pedagogy of Kindness.

Dr. Intissar Yahia PortraitWe are excited that Dr. Intissar Yahia continues to teach English as a Second Language at the Pullman Center in the new school year. We offer proficiency levels 1 to level 3 (Community Track). Register soon as class starts on Januar 2! For more information and to register contact Program Specialist Tetiana Karpenko at 509-279-6454 or tetiana.karpenko@scc.spokane.edu.

Profile

Trena Dean PortraitTrena Dean, SFCC AA ’23, serves as the Administrative Assistant in the Main Office of the CCS Center. Students and faculty thrive inside and outside of the classroom because of her support. Over the past six months, Trena coordinated much of the preparations and logistics for a remodel of our Annex by WSU, which created a first-ever science lab for CCS Pullman. She is now designing a break and well-ness area for CCS employees at the Pullman Annex. If you are a student at CCS Pullman, you likely have worked with Trena on your CCS account, gotten your ID, or learned about the many services available at our college. Here’s what Trena shared about her role and observations:

How has the school year started at our Center?

We’re off to an amazing start this year, with even more students than last year! The phones are ringing off the hook, students are constantly visiting, and there’s such an exciting buzz around our Center.

What do you enjoy in your role?

I absolutely love the versatility of my position. It lets me dive into different projects, answer all sorts of questions, and chat with so many wonderful people. Making real connections that lead to mutual respect and sometimes even friendships is something I truly cherish.

Being a graduate of SFCC, does that inspire your work at the Center?

Definitely! I wanted to show my children and others that success in college is possible, no matter the circumstances or the path taken. I strive to treat all students in ways that best support them and go out of my way to help them succeed.

What makes you happy in your job?

I really appreciate the teamwork at the Center. I love how we all come together, support each other, and create the best environment for our students.

What are you most excited about for this coming year?

I’m super excited about our newly finished science classroom. It looks fantastic, and we’re now organizing it for our upcoming science classes in January, including biology. Having such a space for our students and faculty is truly wonderful!

Is there something you wish the public knew about our Center?

Ha, I frequently get asked, "Do you drive to Spokane for work every day?" I want people to know that our Center is located right here on the WSU Pullman campus. Most importantly, we want people to feel welcome to ask us any questions and discover if our college is the right place to start their new journey!
