University Brings Economic Strength to Valley

Walla Walla University's contribution to the surrounding communities is significant-to the tune of $103 million a year. The findings are reported in a 2002 study, "The Economic Impact of Walla Walla College on the Blue Mountain Region" conducted by Kevin B. Stokes, a partner in Econ 500, an economic consulting firm, who has conducted similar studies for colleges and universities across the country. The 11-page report was released in November 2002 and is available here in .pdf and .doc formats.
