Welcome from President Emmert

It is my pleasure to invite you to the 3rd annual Washington Weekend, April 26-28, 2007. We welcome you to our three campuses during these three days to find out about all the fabulous things going on at this world-class institution in your back yard.

Thanks to the quality and ambition of the University of Washington's people and programs – as well as the ongoing support of our alumni and friends – the University continues to push the frontiers of knowledge. You will sense this throughout the weekend, whether you visit the Health Sciences/UW Medicine Open House, check out the College of Forest Resources ecology tour or visit the Burke Museum.

It's because of your continued support and participating that the University of Washington is able to create better futures for our region and beyond. We are very proud to open our doors and welcome you to campus for a taste of some of the amazing work taking place here.

I hope you and your family will take advantage of this opportunity to explore, enjoy and educate at the University of Washington.

Mark Emmert, '75
President
