Husky Leadership Initiative Home Page

WHAT is it? The Husky Leadership Certificate recognizes and celebrates UW students' innovative leadership accomplishments and characteristics. Students work with a mentor who guides them in reflecting on their time as Huskies. The product of this is a student-created e-portfolio demonstrating what they have learned about leadership and who they have become as leaders. WHO are we looking for? We seek undergraduate Huskies in their 3rd, 4th or 5th year who practice leadership in a variety of ways. Our leaders are change-agents, activists, community organizers, entrepreneurs, scholars and more. HOW do you get involved? If you are interested in pursuing the Husky Leadership Certificate, you can learn more about the program, the process, and find the application here. On this site, you can also learn about the leadership e-portfolio and view examples from previous students. WHY participate? The Husky Leadership Certificate builds upon students’ previous experiences and adds value to their degrees by increasing self-awareness of their campus engagement, community impact, and personal development. Certificate recipients will be able to articulate their values, goals, strengths and how their Husky experience has prepared them to become effective leaders on campus and in the years to come. WHEN should you apply? Today! If not today, then definitely no later than Monday, November 3, at noon. Applications willnot be accepted after that day and time. Apply here. If you have any questions, please contact us at uwhlc@uw.edu.

Jackson School Journal of International Studies

The Jackson School Journal of International Studies is an online academic publication dedicated to profiling outstanding research and policy writing generated by UW undergraduates. The Journal publishes Autumn and Spring editions and accepts submissions on a broad range of topics related to international studies on a rolling basis. Students who publish with the Journal have the opportunity to showcase their work beyond the walls of the classroom in a way that meaningfully engages the undergraduate, academic and policy-making community through relevant research and policy discourses. The Journal is also a resource for students to read examples of quality policy and research papers, required exercises in Jackson School curriculum. The Journal typically looks for pieces of writing between 10-20 pages in length and other multi-media submissions.

Students can email submissions to jsjis@uw.edu. The email must include the following pieces of information:
Author name, email address, academic background & interests, the title of the paper, a 250-word abstract and any notes concerning its development (i.e., if the essay was written for a particular course, indicate the course, professor, academic year and quarter). Further, the paper itself must not contain the author’s name, but must be complete with citations and bibliography.

The Journal is also comprised of Peer Reviewers and an Editorial Board. These positions are unpaid but eligible for independent study credit. For more information about peer reviewing, submitting essays or to apply to become an editor, visit http://depts.washington.edu/jsjweb/ or email the Journal at jsjis@uw.edu.
