Farah Nadeem Chair, Provost’s Advisory Committee for Students As a graduate student in Electrical Engineering and member of PACS, I have been afforded tremendous opportunities to grow and learn at the UW. My passion for access and equity in education has shaped my Husky Experience both inside and outside the classroom. The focus of my interdisciplinary doctoral research is on building machine learning tools to support educators in K-12 STEM assessments, particularly for English language learners. As a student leader, I work on advising the administration on budgeting and planning decisions, and increasing support for non-traditional students, including transfer students and student-parents at the UW.
Denzil Suite is the Vice President for Student Life. He leads a passionate, student-focused staff in a division that serves as the hub for a variety of programs, services, facilities and operations that are all designed to enrich the Husky experience for every student on campus. Most recently he served as the Board Chair of NASPA, the world’s leading association for student affairs professionals.
Glenna Chang is an Associate Vice President for Student Life and focuses on a wide range of student wellness topics. She has served in a number of different roles on the UW Seattle and Tacoma campuses, across Student Life, Advancement, and Academic units. She holds a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and loves a good org chart.
