April 27 – 29, 2006 is Washington Weekend. This is an annual event featuring open houses, class reunions, lectures, tours, live entertainment, Husky sporting events and more for the campus community and the general public. It's a chance for everyone to come back to campus to enjoy all the University of Washington has to offer, and get a first-hand look at everything that is going on at this premier institution in our backyard. For more information about Washington Weekend visit our website.

One highlight of the event is the Business School Showcase on April 28 from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. For more information visit our website.

A seasoned business executive, strategist and entrepreneur with global operations experience, her career spans 21 years and encompasses executive management positions with Lucent Technologies, AT&T and two technology startups.
