Sakara Buyagawan and Jung Lee receive Distinguished Accomplishments Award

The Distinguished Accomplishments Award by an Academic Affairs Staff Member/Team recognizes exemplary performance that enhances and supports the Division of Academic Affairs, advances the academic mission of the University of Washington Bothell, and demonstrates values of integrity, diversity, excellence, collaboration, innovation and respect.

IAS staff members Sakara Buyagawan and Jung Lee were honored for their extraordinary work and programmatic innovation to support international students impacted by the pandemic and U.S. immigration politics/policies. By coordinating coursework and campus resources, they built connection and community for international students. They undertook these efforts during huge disruption to their regular duties of managing the time schedule and academic services for all IAS faculty and students under the evolving conditions of emergency remote instruction.

Congratulations, Jung and Sakara!
