\nDespite the coronavirus pandemic and the separation it has imposed on people, the University of Washington Bothell and its community partners have maintained the ties that support student learning through joint projects, research and other mutually beneficial collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their work in normal times, let alone their dedication in more recent times, the University recognized and celebrated its partners at an annual appreciation event, held June 10 by teleconference with around 130 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to take this moment to acknowledge and give thanks to our partners for their contributions to our faculty, our students and our region,\u201d said Kara Adams, director of community engagement. \u201cWe are so glad you could join us today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help engage and connect participants in the digital gathering, organizers in the Office of Community Based Learning and Research<\/a> structured the event to feature the voices of partners as well as students, staff and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After brief introductions, Chancellor Wolf Yeigh spoke. \u201cThank you for the ways you enrich our student learning and faculty research,\u201d he said. \u201cOur region and our world have experienced many transitions, hardships and pain this year and over the past few weeks. It is through partnerships that we grow in our resilience and innovation together. It\u2019s because of you that we are better able to educate our students and create the next generation of civic leaders and professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants then broke off into smaller groups to discuss a question vitally important during this time: \u201cWhat is something in your community that has spurred you into action and\/or something that has brought you gratitude?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the small groups came back together to share out, Adams presented a video acknowledgment of the growing list of organizations that have partnered with UW Bothell for more than five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also want to thank all the 90 community partners who have attended today,\u201d she said. \u201cIn one way or another, you have supported our student learning, faculty research and institutional mission of serving the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
