Because of the coronavirus pandemic, many University of Washington Bothell students have lost jobs or support they need to pay education and living expenses. Some also face an immediate food, housing or family health crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to this urgent need, University supporters are now giving to UW Bothell\u2019s new 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency 足彩app哪个是正规的 Fund. Donations help keep students\u2019 education on track by covering parts of tuition, books, technology, housing, child care or medical costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making an immediate difference <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One new feature of the fund is the Huskies Helping Huskies Challenge<\/a>. It launched May 28 with a combined pledge of $20,000 from three donors. 足彩app哪个是正规的 challenge? Reach 250 donors by June 30 to \u201cunlock\u201d the $20,000. This also will ensure that donations come even as the spring quarter ends \u2014 a time when financial needs are still pressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 fund also has been boosted by the Husky 5K, an annual run organized by UW Bothell\u2019s Alumni Council to raise money for scholarships. This year, proceeds were directed to the 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency 足彩app哪个是正规的 Fund.

足彩app哪个是正规的 support that alumni, donors, faculty, staff and students have provided for students has been incredible, said Sean Marsh, acting vice chancellor for advancement and external relations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach and every donation is helping to make the difference in the lives of our amazing students and their ability to remain focused on their education and stay in school,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uncertainty \u2014 the new normal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Curtis Takahashi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As an alumnus (Culture, Literature & the Arts \u201904), a member of the Alumni Council board and a career development program adviser in UW Bothell\u2019s Career Services, Curtis Takahashi has a good idea of what students are going through: uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takahashi is particularly concerned about those who are eligible for Pell Grants, the federal financial aid for low-income students, and those who will be the first in their immediate families to earn a four-year degree. In the fall of 2019, 36% of incoming first-year students and 34% of incoming transfer students to UW Bothell were eligible for Pell Grants. And, 40% of incoming first-year students and 43% of incoming transfer students are \u201cfirst generation\u201d students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is why they are here. 足彩app哪个是正规的y know higher education can transform where they\u2019re coming from,\u201d Takahashi said, adding that\u2019s why he, too, has donated to the 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency 足彩app哪个是正规的 Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I can do my little part to help keep those dreams alive, then I want to do what I can do,\u201d he said. \u201cI see the hopes. I see the dreams. I don\u2019t want something as catastrophic as this pandemic is to squelch those dreams.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takahashi also has seen a similar outpouring of support from others. Members of the Alumni Council were among the first to donate to the fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo many people are stepping up in great ways,\u201d Takahashi said. \u201cThat\u2019s what I love about UW Bothell. I\u2019m proud to be a part of this community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doer and a donor <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Maureen
Maureen O’Hara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As a first-generation American who worked through college herself and whose family values education, Maureen A. O\u2019Hara says she resonates with UW Bothell students on many levels. Her father, born in Turkey while the family was fleeing Bolsheviks in 1920s Crimea, was the only child a large family was able to send to college. One of O\u2019Hara\u2019s grandmothers earned a GED as an inspiration to her grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation meant a great deal to my grandparents,\u201d O\u2019Hara said. \u201cI appreciate how hard it is for first-generation and immigrant families, and for people working their way through school.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, O\u2019Hara went to a city university, lived at home and worked her way through graduate school. She had a successful career with technology companies, worked as a consultant and taught project management for 15 years at the UW in Seattle. She connected with UW Bothell when one of her sons graduated, and she wrote the faculty a thank you letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat he could go there and complete a program of that caliber was a real gift,\u201d she said. \u201cI think the University of Washington Bothell is a gift to the community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Hara now serves on the Chancellor\u2019s Advisory Board. She also supports education as a founder of Eastside Preparatory School in Kirkland, Washington, and a member of the board of 足彩app哪个是正规的 Madrone School for autistic children in Redmond, Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of her resonance with families who see education as a way to better themselves, O\u2019Hara and her husband are some of the contributors who put up the Huskies Helping Huskies Challenge money for the 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency 足彩app哪个是正规的 Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to invest in people who are investing in themselves,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t want their education to be hampered anymore in the current situation, because they can\u2019t work or someone in their family is not working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 best we can do is let them complete their education so they can get bigger, better jobs when the economy gets back to where it was.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committed to education <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Rabia
Rabia Ramzan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rabia Ramzan (Marketing and Finance \u201919) has friends who are still students. She also has the perspective of having worked for UW Bothell in a supplier diversity program and with event planning. She now works at the UW in Seattle, supporting alumni relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many students were already struggling to keep things going before the coronavirus hit, Ramzan said, noting the large number of students at UW Bothell who are first-generation university students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She knows students who have been furloughed or laid off from jobs, and while they\u2019re still attending classes, a lot of them don\u2019t know how they\u2019re going to support themselves moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHearing their stories,\u201d she said, \u201cand how they\u2019re able to still come to class every day and put everything into that is just \u2014 I don\u2019t know how they\u2019re doing it, but they are. 足彩app哪个是正规的y\u2019re committed to their education.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Ramzan donated to the 足彩app哪个是正规的 足彩app哪个是正规的 Emergency Fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever I can do, however little that is or how much I can help another student have internet access or help pay their tuition or whatever it is, I know it\u2019s going to be helpful,\u201d Ramzan said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s critical for us to take into account what we\u2019re all going through collectively at this time. This isn\u2019t something we\u2019re each going through alone,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re all going through this together, and it\u2019s important for us to find ways to support one another. We all need to provide support.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
