Advancement & External Relations

As Upward Bound director in Yakima, Washington, Catalina Alvarez-Villanueva helps low-income and first-generation families prepare for college. The Yakima Valley native knows the journey well, having gone to the University of Washington Bothell and back home.

A new minor in Global Health at the University of Washington Bothell this fall is designed to appeal not only to students in the School of Nursing & Health Studies but also to students in other disciplines looking to broaden their expertise and job prospects.

Fall quarter, the beginning of the academic year, brings thousands of students to the University of Washington Bothell campus for new challenges and opportunities. Welcome Week is filled with dozens of activities to help the students create community with each other and prepare for the year ahead.
