The Latino Center for Health organized its 6th Annual Latino Faculty Recognition Event on April 17th at the Lyceum in the HUB. This gathering commended the exceptional accomplishments of 34 Latinx faculty members from the University of Washington’s Bothell, Tacoma, and Seattle campuses. These faculty members have left a lasting impact through their teaching, mentorship, research, publications, and promotions, benefiting students, the UW community, and local and global communities. Additionally, we honored three retirees for their careers carrying out important and impactful work at UW and beyond.
