| Happy Birthday, UW! |
Friday, October 25 was "W" Day on UW's campus - marking not only the University of Washington's 152nd birthday (HBD), but also Homecoming in Seattle. Upper Campus Marketing and Events teams approached us to include our Husky Basketball Coaches, Lorenzo Romar and first-year head coach Mike Neighbors, and our student-athletes into the programming of the Homecoming Pep Rally. While this was a great opportunity for our coaches to increase their exposure with UW students, it was equally important to Upper Campus given that Athletics is such a large part of life on campus and of a student's experience (there's that theme again...).
With the help of the Husky Marching Band an introduction by University President Michael Young, they got 300+ students rocking with a "Go Huskies," giveaways, and got them hype about the upcoming Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball seasons...which are right around the corner!

Definitely a great event all-around (Romar and Nabes had a blast) and something Husky Athletics will continue to be involved in for years to come!
