Alumni Spotlight: Ryan Biava, 1999-2000 ASUW President
What was your most memorable UW class? Why? Linguistics 404, “Indo-European,” where I learned one of my favorite bits of trivia: the English word “royal” and the Hindi word “raj” share the same root. Great, creative class about human thought that argues for strong humanities funding. Who is your hero? Why? If forced to choose,…

The Director’s Welcome – Spring 2019
Springtime marks some of the busiest and most exciting times of our entire year for the HUB. The sun finally makes its appearance and so do election campaign signs. Yes it’s a cliché, but I’m always amazed at how time flies for our students. I feel like our current ASUW and GPSS students were just…
Bubba’s Bulletin – Spring 2019
Pure, unadulterated joy…with a twinge of sadness. The end of yet another school year is upon us and in just a matter of weeks, campus will be filled with students in cap and gown, with their families in tow. It’s a wonderful time of year because many of our student leaders (GPSS, ASUW, RSOs, student…

The Director’s Welcome – Winter 2019
There is no denying winter is here as UW was blanketed in snow for most of February. In fact, this is the most snow campus has seen since 1949, which also happens to be the year the HUB first opened (originally called the Associated Students Memorial Union). It is 70 years later and the main…
Bubba’s Bulletin – Winter 2019
Hey, y’all. Some people ask me how I am able to keep up with what’s happening in the lives of former students, and while I wish I could declare it is due to a brilliant and diligent mind, it really is aided by things like holiday cards, birth announcements and such. Thankfully, this is magnified…
Alumni Spotlight: Thom Gunn, ASUW 1968-69 President
What was your most memorable UW class? Well, I can’t single it out to one. I took all of the best classes, and zeroed in on all of the best instructors. One of the best classes I took was Modern English History with Giovanni Costigan. From my research, Dr. Costigan was the greatest history teacher…

The Director’s Welcome – Fall 2018
Hello HUB alumni and friends, we have some exciting things to share in this Fall newsletter. The first – a change, I’ll be writing the newsletter welcome note moving forward.

Bubba’s Bulletin – Fall 2018
Let me start off by staying – I’m still here and not going anywhere. Yet, the time has come to initiate the transition of the HUB Alumni Network into the extremely capable hands of Justin Camputaro, the Director of the HUB, who has now been in his role for 2.5 years. He has fully embraced…
