The University of Washington (UW) is one of the oldest state-supported higher education institutions on the Pacific coast. In 1990, the Washington State legislature established two new UW regional campuses in the cities of Tacoma and Bothell, south and northeast of Seattle, respectively, to broaden access to higher education for the state's residents. Located less than 20 miles northeast of downtown Seattle, UW Bothell is one of the most diverse public university campuses in the state and is in the center of the Pacific Northwest's large, vibrant, and booming high-technology corridor and economic region. Its size, its location, its diverse population, and its mission have positioned UW Bothell well for continued educational and regional impact.

Combining the resources of a major public research university with an unparalleled dedication to access and opportunity for its diverse student body, UW Bothell provides a distinctive student experience coupled with deep community ties. The campus currently enrolls around 6,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs, with 31% of first-year students and 43% of transfer students identifying as first-generation college students.

It is a particularly auspicious time to join the UW Bothell community as the next VCAA, as good stewardship has the campus in a financially sound position and at the cusp of many exciting developments. The campus has recently completed the construction of its Residential Village, simultaneously catalyzing a robust offering of residential life and student engagement programming. This new, prime housing for approximately 1,000 students spans three residence halls and a two-story dining pavilion. As the institution celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2025, the campus will launch a new strategic planning process in consultation with faculty, staff, and student leadership to lead UW Bothell into a promising next chapter.
