Welcome from Vice Provost and Dean Ed Taylor
Our work within UAA and out across the University is tied together and interdependent. Research, service and scholarship go hand in hand.

Message from Vice Provost and Dean Ed Taylor
What have we learned in the last year that will help our communities in the coming year? I am thinking about our students, past and present and how their UW experiences lay a foundation for their future, indeed, but also for the futures of so many others.
