Join the College of Arts & Sciences Team for the Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash
Calling All Arts & Sciences Dawgs!
Join fellow alumni, students, friends, artists, scientists, historians, philosophers, writers and curious minds of the College of Arts & Sciences for the Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash on Sunday, October 18!
Part campus tour, part reunion, and all Dawg pride, you'll partake in a little interdisciplinary running through the heart of the UW, passing favorites like the Liberal Arts Quadrangle, Denny Hall, and the site of the future Chemical Sciences Building.
Bring your Arts & Sciences spirit and we'll bring the one-of-a-kind bandanas (picture below) for everyone who signs up to join the College's team for the 10K run, 5K run/walk, or Husky Pups Run.
A portion of your registration fee helps support the UW Alumni Association’s general scholarship fund. Race registration usually sells out before the event, so don't delay. Sign up to be on the College of Arts & Sciences team for the Alaska Airlines Dawg Dash here.
In addition, visit the College of Arts & Sciences tent for fun,…

Title: Evolution of a Teacher: A Natural History in Three Acts
Abstract: I bring a whole organism, field first perspective to every course I teach, one that humanizes what it means to do science. This talk traces how that perspective has shaped the way I design a course, from the field to the lecture hall, and what it produces in students, both in the classroom and in the work they carry forward afterward.
I want students to see scientists who look like them, picture themselves doing science, and know they can communicate it too. I want them to notice the biodiversity around them, keep noticing after the course ends, and carry that habit into whatever they do next.

What Haven’t We Asked Quantum Computers to Do? Jeff Henshaw Senior VP, Quantum Compute Products at IonQ
When people talk about quantum computing, the focus is usually on a small set of well-known applications. But an equally interesting question is whether we’re asking the right questions in the first place. What kinds of problems might benefit from quantum approaches that we simply haven’t recognized yet?
This talk offers a brief introduction to the ideas behind quantum computing and a snapshot of where the field stands today. It then explores a broader challenge: discovering new applications by bringing together people who approach problems from very different perspectives. Researchers in fields ranging from chemistry and biology to public policy, history, literature, and religious studies may see opportunities that physicists and computer scientists overlook.
Not every problem will be a good fit for quantum computing. But expanding the conversation beyond the traditional quantum community may be one of the best ways to discover what these technologies will ultimately be useful for.
All disciplines welcome…
