Inspired to advocate for justice a student athlete discovers he WOMEN S SOCCER PLAYER EARNS PRESTIGIOUS BONDERMAN FELLOWSHIP Havana McElvaine took a breath dropped to one knee and in one life changing moment solidified her identity as a leader The 2017 sociology graduate had been taking charge on the soccer field for as long as she could remember She attended a prestigious private high school in Denver and traveled the nation playing soccer in elite leagues If anyone asked her who she was she d quickly respond I m a soccer player When she arrived at Washington as a student athlete on scholarship it seemed like the next four years would be an extension of that athletic identity Then she signed up for Professor Alexes Harris sociology class on race and ethnicity 4 UW Tyee Club Gratitude Report It was amazing to walk into a class where someone looked like me and held prestigious degrees and cared enough to master topics I d always been passionate about human rights social justice racial and gender equality recalls Havana I felt so empowered It was the awakening of a more expansive sense of self for Havana as a black woman a scholar and someone who could make a difference on campus and beyond It also led to her becoming Husky Athletics first recipient of the prestigious post graduate Bonderman Fellowship which will propel Havana on an eight month voyage through nine different countries where she will explore the history of black identity and racism Kneeling down to stand up With the nation s racial divisions taking center stage in the 2016 election season and the Black Lives Matter movement making headlines Havana also was following
and equality r voice Husky Athletics commitment to equity focuses on making a lasting impact Hoping to draw at least 50 student athletes to UW Athletics first formal training event in equity and inclusion organizers planned a 90 minute session with a nationally known lecturer Three hours and 200 students later they knew the department s commitment to UW President Ana Mari Cauce s top priority initiative was off to a powerful start The students were so engaged and didn t want to leave that session recalls Kim Durand who directs student development for Husky Athletics We focused on building community so we could have in depth sometimes difficult conversations around racial equity and have people feeling safe and comfortable with each other The goal was open dialogue and letting them know we care about the same things they care about adds Shondell Reed another executive staff member helping to guide the initiative The department s commitment extends beyond student athletes to coaches and staff to hiring and personnel policies and to supporting individual teams efforts There s no check the box race and equity program for the day or the month or the year It s ever present in how we make decisions It s about having a lasting impact Kim says the controversial decisions of some professional athletes to kneel during the national anthem not as a sign of disrespect for their country but of their hope for a nation more united against racism Havana s emotions hit a peak as she watched news footage of a black man killed by police in Oklahoma in September 2016 She remained deeply upset the next day when Women s Soccer had its first match of the season Sensing her student s distress as they stood on the sidelines Coach Lesle Gallimore turned to Havana and said If you want to kneel you can In that moment she really knew me better than I knew myself She enabled me to be in solidarity with a movement I cared about and that was really powerful for me Havana says It was one of the most memorable moments I had at UW and in my whole life A leader is born That one knee opened up more opportunities for discussion and reflection among her teammates and coaches The UW Athletic Department also invited Havana to speak before the staff and chose her as one of just two UW student athletes to attend a conference in Texas for black student athletes from across the nation When she begins her solo Bonderman travel in January throughout South America Africa and Asia Havana will further develop her leadership skills and passion for social equality As someone who believes fiercely in the equality of all people I feel a strong sense of responsibility to learn about those who gave their lives so that I could do exactly this travel freely and seek experiences that better equip me to fight for those who will come after me Havana wrote in her Bonderman essay 5 UWT YEEC LUB O R G
Coaches breathe life into our philosophy of putting student athletes first Head Football Coach Chris Petersen brought the concept of our kind of guys to Washington He recruits young men who have the talent integrity and drive to not only be great football players but to be great people We ve borrowed that phrase to reflect our commitment to hiring our kind of coaches Our coaches know that success isn t measured solely in wins and losses but in how well they develop their student athletes as educated principled citizens ready to make an impact on the world explains Director of Athletics Jennifer Cohen who in her first year appointed five new head coaches who are already making a difference where it counts the most in the lives of student athletes As the heir to the long time head basketball coach at Syracuse where he had been an assistant for 22 years Coach Hop had his future all mapped out Then Washington came calling He says his decision came down to the three Ps people place and potential Convinced he d be working with people whose values aligned with his own he met generous donors and die hard fans who proved there was a deep passion for basketball at a world class university in spectacular Seattle The potential was all about the student athletes Mike Hopkins MEN S BASKETBALL If we put these young men first and treat our program like a family then the wins will come he says That s why we coach to be great role models and help them grow to reach their potential so they can make a difference in the world I ve found the perfect place to do that Jody Wynn also wasn t looking for a new job when the UW approached her After eight successful seasons at Long Beach State she and her associate head coach her husband Derek were happy in California It only took one day for us to learn that Husky Athletics core values mission and philosophy of developing the holistic student athlete really fell in line with our own belief system she says She is quick to praise the impact fans and donors make on Women s Basketball Giving is important because you need financial support to excel Your donations make a difference in the lives of student athletes every day Jody says But that s not all The relationships our young women can build a door that might open that can mean the world 6 UW Tyee Club Gratitude Report Jody Wynn WOMEN S BASKETBALL
In her first season as head coach of Washington Gymnastics Elise Ray took the GymDawgs to NCAA Nationals for the first time since 1998 She also was named Pac 12 Coach of the Year Yet she had hesitated when she was offered the head coaching position Matthew Leib The Whole U My favorite part of the job is the relationships I d built with the student athletes I didn t want that to change because I d now be in charge says Elise who was a UW assistant coach for six years But then Jen said you can do both It felt so good to know that I could still hold the relationships with them talk to them about life and be their head coach She took the helm and instituted a tougher work ethic pushing her team to train harder Elise Ray GYMNASTICS PHOTO About halfway through the season it was incredible to see them start to believe me Elise remembers They were fully committed and the goal of reaching Nationals became very real for all of us Hailing from Ireland and coaching in Alabama Alan Murray didn t know much about Washington when the UW came courting He quickly became impressed with the humility and kindness he found when he arrived here People are modest and understated here and it s that way at the University too Your work speaks for you here and that is the philosophy that runs through the UW Alan says He was also impressed with the deep support donors provide to his program and what that means to the young golfers he coaches Alan Murray When it s clear that people care about what you do that s a huge boost in life for a young person It makes them more confident he explains The generosity and support is great here Our program would never be as good as it is without it MEN S GOLF How do you top a stellar 10 year stint at Stanford that included winning a national title and being named national coach of the year You win a national championship and earn the Pac 12 Coach of the Year title in your first year as head coach of UW Women s Rowing Yaz Farooq credits a broad team effort for that impressive feat Our rowers are respected as incredibly hard working athletes and the pride our fans take in this sport is a big part of the UW s identity she says To be the coach of a program where a University and community celebrate your sport and think not only that it s worthwhile but that it s special it s a dream job for me Yaz Farooq WOMEN S ROWING 7 UWT YEEC LUB O R G
An unforgettable Purple Passport experience goes beyond the surface of building Courts for Kids It may have started with the mission of building a sports court in a remote village in Costa Rica It ended with building a community of student athletes and their Costa Rican hosts bridging cultures to foster an appreciation for the values in life that mean the most More than 25 student athletes along with a few coaches and staff members partnered with the nonprofit Courts for Kids this past summer a learning experience launched by a generous anonymous donation to establish the Purple Passport program and nurtured by other caring donors who believe in giving with a purpose in mind Many of the people in the community don t have much at least compared to American standards but the people in this community are genuinely happy and content They ve given me a new perspective of what it means to be grateful and caring Michaela Nelson Gymnastics If you only operate in your comfort zone you don t learn anything It s only when you step outside yourself and challenge yourself do you have the opportunity for growth explains Bob Thompson who with his wife Deb established an endowment that helped fund the Costa Rican trip and will continue to fund similar opportunities Traveling to other countries serving others can be a life changing experience The group stayed in the homes of local families during the 10 day trip cut off from cell phone service bathing in icy cold water communicating without knowing the language and laboring to plan and build a sport court that will become the central gathering place for the village of Matambu 8 UW Tyee Club Gratitude Report I know this trip has changed me in many ways but what I m going to hold onto most is to not take anything for granted to not get lost in the social media world and to enjoy the present and what life has to give you at that time and place Stacey Fung Women s Tennis

An investment worth making SUPPORTING STUDENT ATHLETES IS A FAMILY AFFAIR FOR THE WASHBURNS Generations of Huskies made an impact on the lives of Alex and Erika Washburn Now the couple is paying it forward for future generations More than a dozen of the Washburns relatives attended the UW Erika s Husky roots go back to her great grandfather who founded Novelty Ironworks that crafted the original steel doors to the Suzzallo Library Alex s grandfather rowed for Washington and his father directed admissions for 35 years It s in our blood says Alex who ran in fraternity charity relays from Seattle to Pasadena for the 1991 and 1992 Rose Bowls before graduating with a degree in finance Today he is managing partner and co founder with three other Huskies of Columbia Pacific Advisors and Columbia Pacific Wealth Management 10 UW Tyee Club Gratitude Report Erika who earned a degree in environmental planning and rowed for the women s novice crew team remembers the Athletic Department as an anything is possible kind of place She and Alex cross their fingers that their two kids will one day be Huskies too Today Alex is vice chair of the Tyee Board of Advisors the couple has supported scholarship funds and they have season tickets for basketball and football Having experienced the UW as a student athlete I understand how important it is to feel supported with the resources you need to excel in athletics and academics says Erika We believe that empowering young men and women to fulfill their potential on the field and in the classroom gives the University increased capacity to provide a spirited and dynamic educational experience It s an investment worth making When the Game Changer Campaign for Husky Athletics was launched they stepped up to endow a scholarship for Men s Golf and also made a generous contribution to the Competitive Edge Fund It s all about supporting the student athletes Alex explains The Competitive Edge Fund provides the flexibility the Athletic Department needs to keep up the optimism and energy we all feel today about the UW s athletic programs We have the right kids the right coaches the right leadership We are hitting our stride once again
