What an uplifting evening spent in community celebrating our students, honoring Dr. Ana Mari Cauce, and investing in the future. Last week at the 55th Annual Celebration Gala, we raised over $560,000 for the Educational Opportunity Program.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, sponsor, alum, student, and friend who joined us. Together, we're creating pathways for the next generation of leaders.

There are moments in our work when simply being together reminds us why community matters. The inaugural 2026 Odegaard Legacy Luncheon was one of those moments—a gathering filled with warmth, shared purpose, and a powerful sense of belonging. It was an afternoon that honored leaders and celebrated the shared values that continue to shape the work of OMA&D and the University of Washington.
