UW unveils this year’s Husky 100 — exemplary students from across all three campuses

The University of Washington unveiled the 2026 Husky 100, recognizing 100 undergraduate, graduate and professional students from the UW Bothell, Seattle and Tacoma campuses in all areas of study who are making the most of their time at the UW and are making an impact in their communities.

This remarkable achievement — a kind of uber dean’s list — is awarded to students who demonstrate several key attributes, markers that they will be innovators and leaders.

Since 2016, the UW has highlighted 100 students each year, telling their stories on an interactive website, creating a community on campus and as alumni, and inspiring new generations of Huskies.

Here are some key facts about this year’s Husky 100:

• There were 734 applicants and 88 faculty and staff who helped select the final 100.
• Nearly half are Washington residents; students on the list hail from all corners of Washington including Seattle, Bellingham, Spokane, Prosser, Olympia and Warden, and many more.
• There are 72 unique majors, including double majors.
• Seventy-one are seniors; 24 are graduate and professional students; and five are juniors.
• Students are from 16 U.S. states and 13 countries including Ghana, the United Kingdom, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Taiwan and China.
