Lincoln’s Log – Fall 2022
It’s here at long last…the start of a new academic school year. There’s something exciting and energizing about the start of a new school year. I felt that when I was in elementary school and after the last 28+ months of the pandemic, I still get that tingling feeling that came with buying school supplies….

Effective Thursday, July 8, the…

Director’s Welcome – Spring 2021
This past winter, Seattle had just one snow storm. Unfortunately, it came with some powerful winds that toppled an iconic part of the HUB’s landscape, a 60+ year-old cork oak tree (the only one on the UW campus). HUB staff have worked with the UW Grounds team to salvage much of it with the intent…
Lincoln’s Log – Spring 2021
Behind the masks, so many feelings and things are happening — exhaustion, burnout, struggle, uncertainty, languishing, numb-bum-syndrome, adult acne, wallowing, fear, loss…the unknown. Behind the masks, you might be feeling or have felt some of these emotions. After 14 months of working remotely from my dining table, it is fair to say I have felt…

Event Feature: Virtual RSO Fairs
This winter, the HUB hosted its first Virtual RSO Fair using the Gather platform, which utilizes proximity video chat. It’s a bit like playing a video game with character icons and imagery, but as you approach other avatars, you’re able to chat using voice and video. On the day of the fair, RSO representatives staffed…

Director’s Welcome – Winter 2021
I have noticed a theme in my Alumni Newsletter messages – the seasons and weather. Par for the course and symbolic of this past year, the winter weather in Seattle has oddly been mostly sunny…nothing like what we’re used to, yet offering bright spots. The same is true for this entire year, as we approach…
Lincoln’s Log – Winter 2021
Hey, y’all. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth so many personal and professional challenges, uncertainties, weirdness…I’m sure you have some words to add. Perhaps they can’t be said in print? With the seemingly never-ending Zoom meetings, I have found myself out of practice with and quite bummed out by not seeing students and colleagues every…
Alumni Spotlight: Dr. Darlene Marie “Daya” Mortel Edouard, 2002-03 ASUW Director of Programming
