Each year, the Chancellor\u2019s Medal is awarded to a graduating student for extraordinary achievement during their time at UW Bothell. The award recognizes an individual who has been a consistent source of inspiration for fellow students, faculty and staff \u2014 and who has overcome significant obstacles or endured major challenges to complete a degree or certificate program. The medal is presented during the Commencement ceremony in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
