H
usky Nation. As we wrap up an academic and competition year unlike any other, I continue to be so inspired by the amazing students, coaches and staff we have here. Collectively, we have overcome so many challenges to live out our steadfast commitment to providing holistic development opportunities for our Huskies. It has been the busiest spring on record, and our Dawgs have provided plenty to cheer about. We have seen: a men’s rowing National Championship, a third-place NCAA finish for women’s rowing, volleyball play its way to the Final Four, men’s soccer earned an Elite Eight berth, women’s soccer made it to the Sweet Sixteen, and track and field brought home several individual titles at the conference championships and sent a dozen athletes to NCAA’s. For a while earlier this school year, none of this seemed possible. Then, loyal donors like you stepped in. You’ve responded to our call to support every team as One Team. You’ve gone all in for your Huskies and because of you, hundreds of student-athletes have regained their opportunity to compete. As we wrap up events this spring, we have our eyes set on next fall and the optimism we have for each of you to return to our venues. While we have made so much progress in the last few

months, we still have a long way to go to ensure the funding we need to offset the pandemic’s impact. But we know Husky Nation will step in to maintain our momentum. Each of you is a huge part of our success and we wouldn’t be able to offer the opportunities we do at this world-class institution if it weren’t for your generosity. Thank You. I hope each of you has an incredible and safe summer and I can’t wait to see you back on Montlake this fall. It will be so special to be back together again, where we belong! Go Dawgs!
