Greetings from UW Global!
It has been a highly productive start to 2026, and we are pleased to share highlights of the impactful global work and engagement led by UW students and faculty across our three campuses in our news features below. From international research and partnerships to innovative global learning experiences, these stories reflect the reach, impact, and responsibility of UW’s global engagement.
Despite the difficult global environment and uncertainties we are operating under, UW remains firmly committed to working alongside our international partners, investing in globally engaged research, and expanding inclusive global learning opportunities on campus. These efforts reinforce our belief that global engagement is core to our mission and essential to advancing knowledge, fostering mutual understanding, and preparing students to navigate and lead in an interconnected world.
As we approach Husky Giving Day on April 23, we are reminded of the power of community in expanding what is possible for our students. At UW Global, our vision is to ensure that
every Husky, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to transformative global learning experiences. We are working to remove barriers, broaden opportunity, and strengthen a vibrant network of alumni, partners, and supporters who share this commitment.
We call on you to join us on April 23 and beyond, as we invest in global futures at the University of Washington, opening doors for students today and helping shape a more connected and resilient world for tomorrow.
We invite you to stay connected with us and reach out if UW Global can be a resource or partner in your work. Whether you are a student, faculty member, alumnus/ae, or friend of the UW, we welcome engagement, ideas, and collaboration as we continue to advance UW’s global mission together.
