Honoring our Administrative Professionals

In these uncertain times, I’m more thankful than ever for the consistent, exemplary service that our Administrative Professionals provide in support of UW Tacoma year after year. Their efforts continue to be the core to our University’s operations and a welcoming presence for students, colleagues, and the broader community.

This University could not succeed without them. Administrative Professionals truly do it all, from managing complex logistics, coordinating vital events, and helping new Huskies find their pathways here, to providing critical daily support across all aspects of our operations.

As we recognize Administrative Professionals Day, I hope you’ll join me in thanking your incredible colleagues when you see them next. Their work often happens quietly behind-the-scenes, but their impact resonates across every corner of our campus. Their dedication, resilience, and collaboration uplift us all — and we’re better for it.

Please join me in celebrating their contributions today and every day.
