An accounting class project turned into summer internships for two University of Washington Bothell students, advancing their career goals and helping the city of Federal Way connect with it citizens. 

University of Washington Bothell students controlled the spending of $383,000 on technology this spring, including four new 3-D printers for the Makerspace workshop and the latest cameras for checkout from the information technology help desk. 

About 200 people attended a fundraiser in Mukilteo, Washington, that brought in nearly $41,000 for the Anna Bui World of Hope Scholarship at the University of Washington Bothell. With previous donations, the endowment fund now has nearly $59,000 to support study abroad experiences for other students in memory of 19-year-old Bui who was killed last summer shortly after traveling in Europe for three weeks.

A UW Bothell Master of Arts in policy studies student mapped the “heat islands” of Snohomish County. Temperatures in areas where nearly all the land is developed or paved can be 10 to 15 degrees warmer at night. The Snohomish Health District is using the research.
