It's been a busy summer! #UWArtSci faculty, students, and staff have traveled abroad for courses, conferences, field research, and more. From volunteering on a farm in Ecuador to spending time on a field site in Botswana, check out what they've been up to: artsci.washington.edu/news/2025-08...
Dee Boersma and research team members Caroline Cappello and Sue Moore (shown with Aura Banda and other local collaborators in the Galápagos Islands) spent a week on Silver Origin, weighing and marking Galápagos penguins. Leigh West spent time this summer at the Botswana field site of her supervisor, UW Biology professor Briana Abrahms, along with two other Abrahms Lab members. After spending time in Norway through a Fulbright Arctic IV Initiative fellowship, Mia Bennett traveled to Greenland with other scholars from the program. Pictured: Mia on a snowmobile. Liping Yu and Xi Ma led an intensive language program at the Beijing Language and Culture University, providing second- and third-year Chinese instruction for UW students. The group also took excursions to other parts of China, including a one-week cultural program in Xi'an.

Students from the @uofwa.bsky.social Textual Studies course—TXTDS 402: Book Arts—recently visited Partners in Print, a Seattle-based letterpress printing nonprofit. With help from local letterpress printer Day Moon Press, they learned to set, proof, lock and print letterpress pages. #UWArtSci

Design students engage in collaborative projects through valuable partnerships with peers, alumni and businesses. The Division of Design in the @uofwa.bsky.social School of Art + Art History + Design prepares students to thrive and lead in a world of rapid technological and cultural change.
Visual Communication Design juniors transformed conversations with alumni into printed tabloid-size newspapers. Seniors from the DESIGN 478: Information Design class researched, wrote, and designed a guide to DESIGN 166. Industrial Design seniors collaborated with Fluke, a global leader in industrial test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment. Professor Kristine Matthews’ Exhibition & Installation Design class collaborated with Partners in Print to create visual concepts for their new location.

🌿 @uwbiology.bsky.social students recently visited the University of Washington Biology Greenhouse to learn about variations of pollination.

They learned about many pollination interactions that benefit both the plants and pollinators (mutualistic interactions) and examples of wild exceptions.
