On Wednesday (June 17), UW Interim President Ana Mari Cauce hosted a kickoff reception at the new UW Spokane Center (201 W. Main). It was a wonderful gathering of state and local elected officials, business and community leaders, UW faculty and staff, and friends of the University. View photos from the event here.

On Wednesday evening, the UW Alumni Association hosted its annual Welcome to Washington dinner at the Spokane Club. Over 200 alumni, parents, incoming students, and UW faculty attended — and had the chance to hear from Pres. Cauce as well as Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs Ed Taylor.
