Dear colleagues,

Nearly two years ago, we began updating our systems so that students could have their preferred names – as opposed to their legal names – appear on class and photo rosters, the UW directory and grade page. Next, we added Canvas learning management system, Panopto lecture capture system and Catalyst GradeBook. The Electronic Academic Records System (EARS) and MyPlan advising tool were updated, as well as MyGrad Program for graduate students.

And now, beginning April 2, all UW students and employees will have the option to include their preferred names on something they use nearly every day – the Husky Card.

The UW ID Center is offering free card exchanges from April 2 through June 1 for those who would like to list their preferred name on their Husky Card. The standard fee for replacing Husky cards – which will be waived for two months – is $25. Read more

My name is Yishan, and I am the Public Relations Lead for a RSO, China Entrepreneur Network (CENUW). Our organization aims to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the community by connecting people of various backgrounds and cultures.

This quarter, we are hosting an event called “CEN Business Competition” (CBC), and this is our third time hosting the event at UW. This competition is essentially like Shark Tank, in which teams of four stand on stage and pitch their ideas or products to the a panel of judges, or you may say investors. Then the judges will score and award the top four places with prize money and an opportunity to go to China during summer break to present their pitch. This competition has already been approved by the UW and is open to the general public. Students of all majors are encouraged to sign up and compete; students do not have to be business majors to take part in this competition. There is no limitation on teams’ business topics either. Topics includes, but are not limited to technology, energy, transportation, education, and healthcare. I hope the description above offered you a better understanding of our organization and the competition. If you have any questions, please let us know, and I will address any questions or concerns you have!
