The University of Washington Bothell honored more than 50 of its community partners at a recognition luncheon.
More than 100 members of partnership groups, and University faculty and staff attended the lunch reception Thursday, June 8, at the North Creek Events Center.
The University's Office of Community-Based Learning and Research connects curriculum with the off-campus co-educators. Partnering with businesses and organizations provides a transformational learning experience for UW Bothell students, creates opportunities for faculty research and also upholds our public mission as a state institution, says Kara Adams, above, director of community engagement.
