Kelly ECC Annual Awards Gala
The Annual Awards Gala is an opportunity for the extended ECC family to recognize our affiliated student organizations and student leaders who are active members of our Kelly ECC community and the broader UW community through activism, leadership, philanthropy, community service, and outreach. We also celebrate members of our community who are graduating and toast to the completion of a successful academic year.
Step through the door… It might lead to another world. Ghibli Gala is here! Calcifer’s flame is burning for something special….. You are invited to the 22nd Annual ECC Gala Awards Ceremony on Thursday, May 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center in the Unity Suite! All UW students are invited to join the celebration as we will have music, food, mingling, and time to recognize all the hard work and achievements our ECC RSOs and ECC student leaders have done this past academic year! Join our community for a night of magic, culture, and connection—through the timeless worlds of Studio Ghibli!
