New York Huskies
Dawgs on Wall Street celebrates 10 years
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Dawgs on Wall Street (DOWS), a speaker series in Manhattan that showcases UW alumni and friends who are leaders in business and industry. DOWS talks take place in intimate settings and include receptions so that attendees may meet the speakers, ask questions and network with other Huskies.
The series, which began in 2005, is made possible thanks to the vision and support of a group of New York alumni known as the DOWS hosts. Collectively, they have given nearly $100,000 to support the series, which has produced 19 events and engaged hundreds of UW alumni and friends.
In honor of this dynamic program, we would like to acknowledge the speakers and hosts who have participated since its inception and have helped shape DOWS into the signature New York alumni event that it has become.
Please join the UW Alumni Association in celebrating all of these individuals.
