For Jorge Azpeitia, a 2021 UW Husky 100 honoree, the past four years were about connecting the dots between his academics and multiple identities. As a first-generation queer Latinx, he found UW Bothell to be a place where he could challenge himself creatively as a student even as he continues his journey of self-actualization.

UW Bothell senior Djelli Berisha has been chosen by Gov. Jay Inslee to serve on the UW’s Board of Regents. ““I have no doubt that he will represent his peers well and ensure that student voices are present where decisions are being made.”

Awards acknowledge Jung Lee, Sakara Buyagawan, Rosemary Simmons and Danette Iyall — all staff at the University of Washington Bothell who went above and beyond to support the Division of Academic Affairs during the pandemic.

Director of Communications Maria Lamarca Anderson is one of 20 staff members from across the University of Washington selected for a Together We Will Award of Excellence.  Fifteen staff members at UW Bothell were nominated, out of more than 500 nominees University-wide.

George Ahearn is a self-described serial entrepreneur. He is a nurse, a karate instructor, the owner of the company WINNfusion and most recently a cofounder of the nonprofit EastWest Food Rescue. He is also the recipient of the University of Washington Bothell’s 2021 Alumni of the Year award.
