Husky 100 Outreach Toolkit
About the Husky 100
Established in 2015, the Husky 100 recognizes 100 outstanding undergraduate and graduate students each year from all three UW campuses who are making the most of their time at the UW. This is a remarkable way to recognize UW students who actively connect what happens inside and outside of the classroom and apply what they learn to make a difference on campus, in their communities and for the future.
While the challenges of the past few years have been extraordinary, so too have been the stories of UW students’ resilience, compassion and community impact. Huskies have continued to discover, create, innovate and advocate in order to advance a healthier and more equitable present and future.
How it works
Current juniors, seniors or graduate students from any of UW’s three campuses are eligible to apply. For more information, see the Husky 100 Application page.
Help us spread the word
In doing so, you’ll help us honor and celebrate the achievements of the students who are named to this extraordinary group, as well as reach and inspire other UW students — including those might not imagine themselves as a candidate for a future cohort. You’ll also help the rest of the UW community understand how they can get involved and ensure the success of the Husky 100 program for years to come!
