Name:: University of Washington
Description:: Founded 4 November 1861, the University of Washington is one of the oldest state-supported institutions of higher education on the Pacific coast. The University of Washington is comprised of three campuses: the Seattle campus is made up of seventeen schools and colleges whose faculty offer educational opportunities to students ranging from first-year undergraduates through doctoral-level candidates; the Bothell and Tacoma campuses, each developing a distinctive identity and undergoing rapid growth, offer diverse programs to upper-division undergraduates and to graduate students. The primary mission of the University of Washington is the preservation, advancement, and dissemination of knowledge. The University preserves knowledge through its libraries and collections, its courses, and the scholarship of its faculty. It advances new knowledge through many forms of research, inquiry and discussion; and disseminates it through the classroom and the laboratory, scholarly exchanges, creative practice, international education, and public service. As one of the nation's outstanding teaching and research institutions, the University of Washington is committed to maintaining an environment for objectivity and imaginative inquiry and for the original scholarship and research that ensure the production of new knowledge in the free exchange of facts, theories, and ideas.

Stat was 3rd. There wasn't anything for Biostat, but Genetics was 1st, and Epidemiology was 2nd.

Hot damn—UW is first in genetics! Not sure whether statistical genetics falls under "Genetics" or "Epidemiology," though.

GO HUSKIES!!!!

To all my dawgs,

WOW! Can you believe we are seeded #1 in the NCAA tournament? After an awesome victory against the Arizona Wildcats yesterday, I am rather shocked that the selection committee chose us. It is a great time to be University of Washington Huskies fan. With Tyrone Willingham at the helm of the football team and the L-squared doing a phenomenal job with Nate, Tre and the rest of the gang, we are very blessed to have them both.

For too long, I've seen both our programs get the crap kicked out of them. Back in '93 when I first attended U-Dub, the basketball court was so quiet during play you could hear the squeeking sound of the basketball shoes rubbing against the hardcourt surface. I doubt you could hear that anymore. Now you hear the rumbling stampede of 6,000 fans at Hec-Ed.

As for football, as soon as you entered Husky Stadium, you could hear the thundering roar of 77,000 purple and gold fans. I doubt you could have heard this for the past 2 years...until now.

Well gang, I've got my tourney aimed for our boys to win it all (I know that is stretch and I am guaranteed a loss of my 20 bucks, but hey, it is all about fan support).

Peace,

Yogi
