The Husky 100 recognizes 100 UW undergraduate and graduate students in all areas of study who are making the most of their time at the UW. These students know that education happens inside and outside of the classroom, and they are making a difference on campus, in their communities and for the future. In the inaugural year of the award, seven students from the School of Public Health were honored.

Hanna Dinh, MHA 2016, Health Services

“I strive to continually develop myself to be an effective health care leader for not only individual patients, but also for diverse communities.”

Terra Hoy, BA 2018, Public Health

“I want to continue to develop a holistic, realistic vision of social work and help fill the gaps in healthcare support for queer and transgender folks.”

Marlena Norwood, BS 2016, Public Health Major

“I have spent my undergrad years developing a passion for public health … (and developing) the conviction to work towards inclusive—and healthy!—communities for a better world.”

Alice Popejoy, PhD 2017, Public Health Genetics

“I have served the student body, I am a parkour practitioner and coach, and I am embracing my new role as the proud mother of a baby girl.”

Alec Sullivan, BA 2016, Global Health Minor

“I thrive through processes of culture-shifting and mind-stretching, critical-making and identity-forming.”

Dominic Tran, BS 2016, Global Health Minor

“I am a caring and supportive mentor, an active and engaged researcher, and an aspiring physician. I self-identify as a gay, Asian-American in STEM, and I’m proud to be so.”
