22 Honors Students Named to Husky 100

Join the Honors Program in celebrating all of the Honors students selected for the Husky 100 award!

Each year, the Husky 100 recognizes 100 undergraduate and graduate students across all majors and campuses who are making the most of their Husky experience.

This year, the UW recognized 22 students pursuing bachelor’s degrees with Interdisciplinary, Departmental or College Honors in the Husky 100! These Honors Huskies are engaged in their communities, in mentoring, in outreach and organization, in clubs and recreation, in research and in making their university and world a better place. Furthermore, Honors students represent nearly 50% of undergrads in the Husky 100, but make up less than 8% of the overall undergrad population specific to the UW’s Seattle campus.

Congratulations and we are so proud of you all!
