In conjunction with the University of Washington's celebration of 40 years of diversity, Viewpoints is recognizing 40 emerging leaders from diverse communities, all under 40 years of age.

40 To Watch

The alumni honored here are just a sampling of the many students from underrepresented communities who have made their mark on the world after graduating from the UW. These 40 were selected because they participated in or benefited from services offered by the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity while they were UW students. Many of them were active in leadership roles on campus and in their communities while they were students. A committee headed by Dr. Sheila Edwards Lange '00, '06, the UW Vice President for Minority Affairs and Vice Provost for Diversity, selected the 40 you see recognized in this issue of Viewpoints.

Jennifer Self, '05 A licensed counselor with an MSW degree, she directs the UW's Q Center, which provides resources about sexuality, gender identity and identity development for the University’s queer student population.
