University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce will step down from leading the university once her second five-year term ends in June 2025.
Her career with UW accomplished many firsts. She was initially hired as an assistant professor of psychology before becoming the first woman to be the department chair of both the psychology department and the American Ethnic Studies department. When she became UW’s 33rd president in 2015, she was the first woman, the first Latina and the first openly gay person to hold the title of president.
For graduation ceremonies, Cauce ushered all three UW campuses to come together for a combined commencement celebration, held online. UW researchers also aided the Washington State Department of Health in launching an app that would notify users if they have been exposed to COVID-19 — while maintaining privacy.A group of pro-Palestinian student protesters set up an encampment in UW’s quad area in May as an attempt to publicly call for the school to divest from Israel and cut ties with Boeing.
