FROM THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR’S DESK
H
usky Nation, I hope 2021 is off to a great start for each of you. Things certainly have picked up around here as most of our student-athletes are back on campus for training and competition. It’s so great to have them here! With the turn of the calendar came an end to our autumn quarter on campus. Our students continue to excel in the classroom, as our overall department GPA was 3.42. It truly is amazing to see how our coaches, with the support of our academic services team, have built a culture of academic excellence here at the UW. We are so proud of this tradition and recognize the commitment it takes from every student, coach and staff member. For the first time in the history of our department, we will have 21 of our 22 programs competing over the course of the next several weeks this spring. Due to the pandemic causing an abrupt end to the spring sport calendars last March and the Pac-12’s decision to push traditional fall sports to this spring, it will be an extremely busy stretch on Montlake until the end of the academic year. This is exciting as we know this allows for our students, coaches and staff to build community and gives our programs a chance to compete. We are so appreciative of each of you and

the opportunities you provide to our students and programs with your generosity. This is such a special place and we are so grateful to do this with you alongside us each step of the way. We continue to miss each of you around our athletics village attending games and cheering on our beloved Huskies. Those days are getting closer and closer and we can’t wait to be reunited again. We know it will be that much sweeter to be back on campus, together. Go Dawgs!
