Kyle Poppe, a senior from Auburn, recently was selected as a member of the Washington State University Coug Guys and Gals for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Coug guys and Gals are an integral part of Cougar Athletics, serving as undergraduate student ambassadors for the department. The mission of the group’s members is to provide hospitality to alumni and guests while creating positive exposure for Washington State Athletics.

Duties performed by Coug Guys and Gals include assisting with Cougar Athletic Fund events and golf tournaments as well as President’s Associate events.

During football game days, members greet fans around campus, work on the field and provide assistance to WSU Athletic Department staff in the Martin Stadium press box.

Coug Guys and Gals also offer free shuttle services before and after each WSU football game in Pullman.

There are more than 60 volunteers that help with these services.
