Study abroad students from the University of Washington Bothell flew into the headlines of a global story when they visited Sardinia as the Italian island in the Mediterranean dealt with newly arrived migrants seeking asylum.

W Day on Friday celebrates what the University of Washington means for students, alumni and the wider community.

With help from Amazon Catalyst, UW Bothell faculty member Tyler Folsom is leading a group of students working to develop self-driving bicycles. Costing far less than a self-driving car, autonomous bikes could improve traffic safety, speed up urban transportation and save energy, reducing climate change.

The best bargain on arts tickets for teens in the Seattle area just got better. A team led by University of Washington Bothell students developed an iOS app for TeenTix, the nonprofit that makes $5 day-of-show tickets available to teens.

Be prepared to answer a few questions from survey-takers in orange vests who will be on campus Tuesday and Wednesday asking students, faculty and staff about transportation. The survey asks three questions about whether you walk, bike, bus or drive and your route. The information compiled by a traffic consultant will support the development of a master plan to guide the future growth of the campus.
