STORIES OF IMPACT
Celebrating a milestone
Ten years after the launch of the Be Boundless campaign, the UW is taking on the challenges of today — and looking to the future.
Racing against a pandemic
Last winter, King County became the nation’s COVID-19 epicenter. The UW’s quick response was months, even years, in the making.
A body in motion
When Louis Maliyam, ’21, came to the U.S. to study computer science, he never expected that he’d find a second passion — dance. He now brings its lessons of vulnerability and freedom into his work teaching others.
A new age of fires
As wildfires grow in severity, UW researchers are helping our region create a path forward — for the health of our forests and all who live here.
HONOR ROLL
Celebrate the most generous donors in UW history.
