Campus Haunts Photo by Kathy Sauber My favorite place is the small park/overlook, just south of McMahon Hall on Stevens Way (across from Clark). You walk around that corner and all of a sudden you see Lake Washington, the mountains and the 520 bridge. On a clear day, it can take your breath away. Marte Hoffman ARNP, MN Senior Lecturer, Dept of Family Child Nursing UW School of Nursing PHOTO: KS20000712_23a Send University Week a note telling us about your favorite campus haunt and why you like it. We’ll take some of our letter writers to their favorite places and photograph them, then publish their thoughts. Send your ideas to uweek@u.washington.edu

A harvest of poster sessions from summer research projects The Health and Sciences Minority Students Program sponsored and arranged several different experiences over the summer for groups of students under-represented in medicine and health sciences careers. Most of these sessions some as long as eight weeks ended with poster displays of the students' work. In the photo, Maya Holt-Brockenbough, a high school student training in the federally funded Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program, describes her research to Charlie Garcia, director of the School of Medicine's Office of Multicultural Affairs.
