Annual Support

The College of Arts and Sciences strives to create innovative learning opportunities and real-world experiences for its students. Your gift enables the College of Arts and Sciences to:

• Attract & retain the best faculty, who advance knowledge, create art, give life to new ideas, and shape generations of students.
• Provide fellowships for graduate students, to create opportunities for talented individuals who may otherwise have to sacrifice graduate training.
• Support undergraduate students with scholarships, to unlock learning opportunities where discovery and passion can fuel and develop their talents.
• Offer experiential learning, study abroad, and field research, where students examine new ideas, engage new people, and explore new places.
• Sustain the full range of visual and performing arts, to promote creativity, expand self-knowledge, and enhance the artist's worldview.
• Foster the discovery and growth in the sciences, to produce new knowledge and create enhanced futures through research and investigation.

Not only will your gift support the College's curricula and resources, but will also directly help students through scholarship and fellowship funding. Scholarships make a real difference in the lives of students like these:

• Chris Himes liked the Department of Biology faculty and staff immediately when he visited campus while applying to the graduate program. "They went above and beyond making me feel wanted, and they told me about all the cool research that was going on," says Himes. "People here were really friendly. I wanted to be in a place where I could do research and have a good support system." Himes didn't know that support system would include a gift from a staff member-he is the first recipient of the Kathryn C. Hahn Endowed Writing Fellowship, created to help biology graduate students complete their last quarter of dissertation work or prepare a paper for publication.
• Giorgia Aiello grew up in Italy, a child of working-class parents. While at the University of Bologna, she spent a year as an exchange student at the University of Washington. Aiello returned to the UW for a PhD in Communication and is now finishing her dissertation, which reflects her interest in the relationship between visual communication and emerging transnational identity in the European Union. The Janice L. and William E. Ames Endowed Fellowship, created by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, supported her in her doctoral fieldwork. "I spent a week in Brussels during the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the European Union," says Aiello. "Two chapters of my dissertation are based on this fieldwork. I feel fortunate that the UW Communication program has such a strong focus on cultural diversity and that they have given me so much support for my work."
