June 2018

This year, for the first time, all three University of Washington campuses raised the gay pride flag in honor of Pride Month as a symbolic gesture of acceptance and support for LGBTQIA students, staff, faculty and alumni. The flag was raised on the UW Bothell campus at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 18.

There are now almost 100 student clubs at the University of Washington Bothell, including yoga and drone-building. Other organizations and offices on campus offer students a range of events that have both academic and social benefits.

Samantha Girard, a nurse educator for Kaiser Permanente in Washington, said her Master of Nursing degree from the University of Washington Bothell in 2010 put her in a position to have an impact on the profession at a time nurses are being pushed hard to advance their education.

The University of Washington Bothell welcomed more than 2,200 new alumni with the Class of 2018’s commencement June 10 at Safeco Field. The total class — 1,954 students receiving their bachelor’s degree and 302 receiving their master’s — is nearly 300 students larger than last year’s class.

Students who work at the University of Washington Bothell have responsibilities that give them valuable experience when they are looking to start their careers.
