Faculty, staff, students and supporters,

I am thrilled to announce this year’s Husky 100. As you may know, the purpose of this program is to recognize the outstanding work and achievements of students on all three University of Washington campuses who are taking full advantage of their time here. 

The Husky 100 include undergraduates and graduate students who have founded start-ups, conducted research and advocated for social justice. They work on our campuses and in our communities. They are leaders and innovators. 

The one thing they share is that they are all making the most of their time as Huskies. Through their coursework, research, volunteer and leadership efforts, internships and jobs, they have created their own Husky Experience. Like all other UW students, the Husky 100 are discovering their passions in life and work as they prepare for rewarding careers in industry, community and life. 

I encourage you to reach out to the Husky 100 students in your department, school, college or campus, and congratulate them for their work and contributions to the UW and our communities. 

Finally, I would like to thank all students who applied to the Husky 100 — there were no easy decisions. I would also like to express my gratitude to the faculty, staff and students who nominated and endorsed applicants and reviewed applications. The contributions of UW leaders, faculty, staff, students and alumni have been essential to the ongoing success of this recognition program. 

Thank you,
