When the University of Washington began searching for a new president back in 2015, they did what you might expect: They started a nationwide hunt, looking for the best fit to lead an institution known at the time, more for its research than for its classes. It turns out the answer was right at home. Ana Mari Cauce had been at the University of Washington since 1986, in various teaching and leadership roles, starting as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology. Cauce entered the office as the first openly gay, first Latina, and first woman to lead the largest University in the state. And during her time in the office, the UW has changed a lot. There was a global pandemic and move to online learning. Campus-wide Pro-Palestine protests brought national attention to the school as students clashed with university administrators. Key for sports fans, The Huskies left the PAC-12 conference, joining the Big 10. Add to that – in the last few months, defunding moves, international student visa cancellations and further threats from the federal government. Now, Cauce’s ten years at the helm of the University of Washington is coming to the end. What has she learned from her tenure? And what advice does she have for her successor as he prepares to take over? Guest: Ana Mari Cauce, President of the University of Washington Related Stories: Trump Has Targeted These Universities.

Est-ce que le but de Sam Bennett était bon mercredi soir, lors du premier match de la finale de la Coupe Stanley? Est-ce qu'il est temps que la ligue se penche davantage sur le règlement d'obstruction sur les gardiens de but? Antoine Roussel revient sur le premier match de la série entre les Oilers et les Panthers, en portant une attention particulière à l’arbitrage. «Tu ne peux pas arbitrer Sam Bennett de la même manière que Connor McDavid. Ce n'est pas le même genre de joueur!». Les 2 gardiens de but n'ont pas été un facteur de succès dans le 1er match, selon Stéphane Waite.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Chris Fetters and Scott Eklund - put a bit of a wrap on what turned out to be a highly successful weekend of official visits to Montlake for the Washington Huskies, and we expect even more news to come out in the coming days. To start, Scott gave his thoughts on the two players that gave Washington their verbal commitments over the weekend after their official visits - offensive lineman Dominic Harris and defensive back Gavin Day. Both are from Las Vegas and they weren't the only ones to visit from Sin City, as Harris was joined by Clark High teammate Dre Pollard, an athlete that can play either receiver or defensive back at the next level. And what about the makeup of visitors? Some were from in-state, some were already committed to UW, and some were official visitors already verbally committed to other schools, like Vance Spafford (Georgia), Madden Williams (Texas A&M), and Daniel Odom (Oklahoma). Going into some specific storylines, Chris asked Scott for his take on the recruitment of O'Dea DL David Schwerzel, as well as UW legacy athlete Derrick Johnson II. And then there were a couple of very highly rated prospects that visited Montlake in ATH Brandon Arrington and EDGE Landon Barnes. In Scott's estimation, how did UW do in getting those two to think about the Huskies as a serious player in their recruitment? And of the players already committed to other schools, who does Scott think is the one most likely to flip to UW? Scott also offers up his opinion when Chris asks about an under-the-radar visitor that he feels is being slept on in terms of his overall recruitment. Before finishing up the recruiting podcast, Scott previews the list of prospects expected to officially visit Washington this coming weekend and an update on the number of signees he expects UW to target for the 2026 class.
