Alumni Weekend at the University of Washington Bothell celebrates the best parts of college: friendship and memorable experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all the stuff we loved in college like hanging out and having fun,\u201d said Curtis Takahashi, long-time member of UW Bothell\u2019s Alumni Council. \u201cI have to say, it\u2019s one of my favorite times of the year. But especially this year, it\u2019s an opportunity to spend time with people you haven\u2019t been able to see in a long time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 weekend which starts on May 20 will also feature an abundance of food, drinks, entertainment \u2014 and an important cause. All the funds raised at the annual 5K event support current UW Bothell students in their academic endeavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great knowing that this event not only gives back to us alums but also invests in current students,\u201d Takahashi said. \u201cIt goes full circle.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to all of our generous sponsors, we have been able to offer discounted registrations to local community members including students from North Shore District.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who have long forsaken a workout routine, fear not. 足彩app哪个是正规的 5k is about the time spent as community \u2014 not the time it takes to cross the finish line. And spending time as a community is what Huskies do best, said Newkirk. This was evident in 2020 and 2021 when the 5K went virtual, and alumni across 24 states came together to raise more than $25,000 for UW Bothell\u2019s 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 money donated helped many students stay in school during the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the past two virtual years, we were heartened to see our UW Bothell community step up and participate in the event \u2014 we even had a runner from Hawaii,\u201d Takahashi said. \u201cAll of our out-of-state runners will have an option to virtually participate again this year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 race, which will take place on Saturday, May 21 at 9 a.m., has alumni participating in Oregon, California, Texas and New Jersey \u2014 and one alumnus is even running for the cause in a different country. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to bring people together, and it\u2019s heartening to see just how far the Husky bond extends,\u201d Newkirk said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the real world, the race on the UW Bothell campus will have more than 700 participants ranging from ages two to 76 years old. \u201cYou\u2019re not too young, and you\u2019re not too old,\u201d Newkirk said. \u201cEveryone is invited to participate in the fun.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run for a reason <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 2022 funds raised will benefit UW Bothell\u2019s Alumni Endowed Scholarship, which offers financial assistance to undergraduate, graduate and certificate-seeking students. One student who has received funds is a first-generation student in a family of six. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat always prevented my siblings from attending college was bad luck and financial burdens. However, I vowed to myself that I would not let that be an obstacle for me,\u201d the recipient wrote in a note to donors. \u201cI worked hard in the hopes of getting scholarships to aid my academic endeavors. Scholarships provided by generous people like yourselves. Without them, my university journey would have been impossible.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 scholarships do not just benefit individual students. 足彩app哪个是正规的y also advance UW Bothell\u2019s goal to help diversify the STEM workforce pipeline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the scholarship recipient also explained, \u201cIt is programs like these that partner with people like you that help bridge the representation gaps in these fields by not letting money be an obstacle. I am not only a woman \u2014 I am a Latina woman \u2014 who is going into STEM. Two of the groups that are most likely to switch out from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnowing that there are people like you who not only believe and support my dreams but who actively give me opportunities to pursue them truly gives me hope and perseverance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate with community <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
