MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Alumni and Friends Make the Difference


Your support is essential to our efforts across campus and around the globe. In 2006, alumni and friends hosted events in Frankfurt, London, and Chicago; contributed over $350,000 toward study abroad; provided internships in Asia, Europe, and Washington, D.C.; and spoke to current UW students about their international careers. Thank you for helping us accelerate internationalization. I appreciate your support and invite you to read more.

-- Dean Gilles Bousquet
