As Senior Director for Environmental Health and Safety at the University of Washington and a core member of the UW COVID Incident Command team (which I also serve on), Katia has played an absolutely essential role stewarding our institution through the COVID pandemic, helping us to make critical, evidence-based decisions in a timely fashion and leading the team that has been responsible for implementing many aspects of our institutional response, including the development and implementation of cleaning, masking, work from home, and testing protocols. She has worked tirelessly with stakeholders from across our institution to make sure that decisions are well thought out and to balance health and safety needs with operational needs across the institution. As a result of Katia\u2019s efforts, UW has remained healthy and strong and has weathered the storm of COVID better than any other academic institution that I am aware of.

As she ends her term and plans to return to her primary faculty role, the impact of her leadership on the department and the University has been profound. She has set a new model for departmental leadership in the Sciences, where the Chair need not be a faculty member at the end of their career but rather a leading scientist who sees the value in supporting their academic community as an important part of their career trajectory. She has an exceptional combination of talents, thinking deeply and creatively about science, experimental methodologies, and leadership. We believe she is the ideal candidate for the David Thorud Leadership Award, and her selection would benefit the University broadly.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/munira-khalil\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Munira\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\"  data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/05\/munira-khalil-475.jpg\"><br \/>\n                                <span>View Profile<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uw-card \"\n                     data-name=\"Edward  Lazowska\"\n\n                     data-email=\"\"\n                     data-department=\"\"\n                     data-title=\"Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Chair\"><br \/>\n                     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/plugins\/uw-directory\/assets\/dubs.png\" alt=\"Profile Image of Edward  Lazowska\" class=\"uw-card-img\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"uw-card-text\"><span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Edward  Lazowska<\/h2>\n<div class=\"udub-slant-divider white\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"title\">Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Chair<\/p>\n<p class=\"department\">\n<p class=\"email\">\n<p class=\"button\">\n                            <button class=\"btn btn-sm secondary light-gold open-profile-modal\"\n                                    data-name=\"Edward  Lazowska\"\n                                    data-title=\"Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Chair\"\n                                    data-department=\"\"\n                                    data-email=\"\"\n                                     data-website=\"\"\n                                      data-pronouns=\"\"\n        data-linkedin=\"\"\n\n                                     data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2015&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Henry M.

In surveying the attributes of a Thorud winner and the selection criteria I was struck by fact that in every possible criterion Chance has and continues to exceed expectations. I have worked closely with Chance for the past 6 years (since I was a faculty candidate here at UW) and have observed him working with countless other individuals on campus. In my nominating letter, I will draw on my own experiences and observations as well as those of a few selected faculty who have worked with Chance. Attached to this nominating letter are support letters from Profs. Martin Savage (Nuclear Theory Institute \/\/ UW Physics) and Matt O\u2019Donnell (former dean of engineering and professor of Bioengineering) and Kelli Trosvig (Vice President for UW IT). I hope to paint a picture that Chance is exactly the type of person who is most deserving of the Thorud Leadership Award and someone for whom it is in UW\u2019s utmost interest to recognize, reward and retain.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/reschke\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Chance\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\"  data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/plugins\/uw-directory\/assets\/dubs.png\"><br \/>\n                                <span>View Profile<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uw-card \"\n                     data-name=\"Margaret  Shepherd\"\n\n                     data-email=\"\"\n                     data-department=\"\"\n                     data-title=\"Chief of Staff &amp; Chief Administrative Officer (Staff) Executive office of the President and Provost\"><br \/>\n                     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/05\/margaret-shepherd-250.jpg\" alt=\"Profile Image of Margaret  Shepherd\" class=\"uw-card-img\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"uw-card-text\"><span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Margaret  Shepherd<\/h2>\n<div class=\"udub-slant-divider white\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"title\">Chief of Staff &amp; Chief Administrative Officer (Staff) Executive office of the President and Provost<\/p>\n<p class=\"department\">\n<p class=\"email\">\n<p class=\"button\">\n                            <button class=\"btn btn-sm secondary light-gold open-profile-modal\"\n                                    data-name=\"Margaret  Shepherd\"\n                                    data-title=\"Chief of Staff &amp; Chief Administrative Officer (Staff) Executive office of the President and Provost\"\n                                    data-department=\"\"\n                                    data-email=\"\"\n                                     data-website=\"\"\n                                      data-pronouns=\"\"\n        data-linkedin=\"\"\n\n                                     data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2025&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Stephanie Court Executive Assistant to the President; Executive office of the President and Provost&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The University\u2019s stickiest, most complex challenges inevitably land on Margaret Shepherd\u2019s desk.

Professor of History and Dean Emeritus, College of Arts and Sciences&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Professor Julie Stein has served as Executive Director of the Burke Museum for 15 years. She will retire as ED in March, 2022. During her term as ED, she has transformed the Museum in myriad ways that make her a worthy candidate for the Thorud Leadership Award. She has raised approximately $100M, half from the State of Washington and half from gifts and grants, enabling the construction of a completely new building to house the Burke\u2019s collections. By appointing for the first time a full-time Tribal Liaison Officer for the Museum and overseeing the creation of the Native American Advisory Board (NAAB), she has built strong and mutually supportive relationships between the Burke Museum and the indigenous peoples and sovereign tribal governments of the Pacific Northwest. Together with the NAAB, she has led the Museum\u2019s ongoing decolonization efforts, and made the Museum a national model for respectful adherence to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). She has also pioneered a new vision for the relationship between museums and their audiences, \u201cturning the Museum inside out\u201d by bringing the research work of the Museum staff and curators out of the back rooms and into public view. She has managed a large and diverse staff of more than 100 museum professionals and volunteers, and secured the appointment of the largest and most diverse group of faculty curators in the Museum\u2019s history. She has also revitalized the Burke Museum Associates (BMA), turning that group of Burke supporters into a fundraising juggernaut and a critical link that binds together the Museum and its community champions.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/julie-stein\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Julie\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\"  data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/julie-stein-475.png\"><br \/>\n                                <span>View Profile<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uw-card \"\n                     data-name=\"Susan Terry\"\n\n                     data-email=\"\"\n                     data-department=\"\"\n                     data-title=\"UW Career Center\"><br \/>\n                     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/plugins\/uw-directory\/assets\/dubs.png\" alt=\"Profile Image of Susan Terry\" class=\"uw-card-img\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"uw-card-text\"><span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h2\">Susan Terry<\/h2>\n<div class=\"udub-slant-divider white\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"title\">UW Career Center<\/p>\n<p class=\"department\">\n<p class=\"email\">\n<p class=\"button\">\n                            <button class=\"btn btn-sm secondary light-gold open-profile-modal\"\n                                    data-name=\"Susan Terry\"\n                                    data-title=\"UW Career Center\"\n                                    data-department=\"\"\n                                    data-email=\"\"\n                                     data-website=\"\"\n                                      data-pronouns=\"\"\n        data-linkedin=\"\"\n\n                                     data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2013&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Glenna Chang, Special Assistant to the Vice President for Student Life, Student Life&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;We have been waiting with bated breath for the call of nominations to come around again so we could finally send in our nomination for our beloved Susan Terry.

In his work as Secretary of the Faculty, Mike has exhibited a leadership style that is subtle, taking no credit unto himself, but which has had a profound effect on the University of Washington (UW). He is a strategic leader who makes decisions based on compassion and fairness, always thinking about the well-being of others, and celebrating diverse perspectives with a belief that diversity of thought and voice make the university stronger. Mike\u2019s leadership is \u201cpeople focused\u201d and centered around an idea that the university thrives when the people at its core are respected for their expertise and have opportunities to grow and advance their careers. In meetings with everyone from administrative heads to rank-and-file faculty members, Mike demonstrates a capacity to listen and genuinely hear what others have to say, to compromise when appropriate and show others how to do so, and to act with an obvious caring that inspires trust. I feel he exemplifies the criteria for this award.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/mike-townsend\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Mike\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\"  data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/07\/mike-townsend-475.jpg\"><br \/>\n                                <span>View Profile<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"uw-card \"\n                     data-name=\"Michael  Verchot\"\n\n                     data-email=\"\"\n                     data-department=\"\"\n                     data-title=\"Director, Consulting and Business Development Center, Michael G.

Throughout this extraordinary growth in enrollment, First Year Programs was there to welcome each student into UW\u2019s growing Husky family. At the forefront of this critical effort to build community and a sense of shared values is my nominee for the David B. Thorud Leadership Award, LeAnne Jones Wiles, UAA\u2019s Executive Director of First Year Programs &amp; Strategic Initiatives.One of the great joys of my job is interacting with world-class students, faculty, and staff. Without a doubt, LeAnne stands out as a shining example of leadership, professionalism, and commitment; she represents what makes our university one of the best places in the world to work. It would not be an exaggeration to say that LeAnne has had a greater impact on the first-year experience of more Huskies than any single person has over the past decade.

As she ends her term and plans to return to her primary faculty role, the impact of her leadership on the department and the University has been profound. She has set a new model for departmental leadership in the Sciences, where the Chair need not be a faculty member at the end of their career but rather a leading scientist who sees the value in supporting their academic community as an important part of their career trajectory. She has an exceptional combination of talents, thinking deeply and creatively about science, experimental methodologies, and leadership.

I work with amazing people every day at the University of Washington and am often surprised and impressed with everyone\u2019s accomplishments; Dr. Singh rises above that difficult threshold with his creativity, skill, persistence and compassion.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/angad-singh\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Angad\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\" data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/angad-singh-475.jpg\" data-department-slug=\"\" data-pronouns=\"\" data-linkedin=\"\" data-website=\"\"><\/p>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/05\/angad-singh-475.jpg\" alt=\"Profile of Angad  Singh\"><\/td>\n<td><strong>Angad  Singh<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Associate Chief Medical Information Officer, UW Medicine<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"open-profile-modal\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"View Margaret  Spearmon\u2019s profile\" data-name=\"Margaret  Spearmon\" data-title=\"Chief Officer of Community Engagement and Diversity, Senior Lecturer, School of Social Work\" data-email=\"\" data-department=\"\" data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2019&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Edwina Uehara, Dean, School of Social Work&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;When I think of the body of work that Dr. Margaret Spearmon has accomplished in her long tenure at the University of Washington, one word characterizes her efforts: transformational:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;transformational in the manner with which she conceives and leads major projects that affect School climate and student access,&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;transformational in how she weaves social justice into every day problem solving&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;transformational in how she treats all community members \u2013 with a professional and uplifting demeanor,&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;transformational in what I have personally learned from her mentorship as both an employee and a leader at the School of Social Work.&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;\/ul&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/margaret-spearmon\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Margaret\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\" data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/05\/margret-spearmon_363.jpg\" data-department-slug=\"\" data-pronouns=\"\" data-linkedin=\"\" data-website=\"\"><\/p>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/05\/margret-spearmon_363.jpg\" alt=\"Profile of Margaret  Spearmon\"><\/td>\n<td><strong>Margaret  Spearmon<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Chief Officer of Community Engagement and Diversity, Senior Lecturer, School of Social Work<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"open-profile-modal\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"View Julie  Stein\u2019s profile\" data-name=\"Julie  Stein\" data-title=\"Executive Director, Professor Burke Museum, Anthropology, College of Arts &amp; Sciences\" data-email=\"\" data-department=\"\" data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2022&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Robert Stacey. Professor of History and Dean Emeritus, College of Arts and Sciences&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Professor Julie Stein has served as Executive Director of the Burke Museum for 15 years. She will retire as ED in March, 2022. During her term as ED, she has transformed the Museum in myriad ways that make her a worthy candidate for the Thorud Leadership Award. She has raised approximately $100M, half from the State of Washington and half from gifts and grants, enabling the construction of a completely new building to house the Burke\u2019s collections. By appointing for the first time a full-time Tribal Liaison Officer for the Museum and overseeing the creation of the Native American Advisory Board (NAAB), she has built strong and mutually supportive relationships between the Burke Museum and the indigenous peoples and sovereign tribal governments of the Pacific Northwest. Together with the NAAB, she has led the Museum\u2019s ongoing decolonization efforts, and made the Museum a national model for respectful adherence to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). She has also pioneered a new vision for the relationship between museums and their audiences, \u201cturning the Museum inside out\u201d by bringing the research work of the Museum staff and curators out of the back rooms and into public view. She has managed a large and diverse staff of more than 100 museum professionals and volunteers, and secured the appointment of the largest and most diverse group of faculty curators in the Museum\u2019s history. She has also revitalized the Burke Museum Associates (BMA), turning that group of Burke supporters into a fundraising juggernaut and a critical link that binds together the Museum and its community champions.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n\t\t&lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/recipients\/julie-stein\/&quot;  class=&quot;btn btn-lg arrow purple&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text-center&quot;&gt;See Julie\u2019s nomination&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow-box&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;arrow&quot;&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\n\" data-img=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/julie-stein-475.png\" data-department-slug=\"\" data-pronouns=\"\" data-linkedin=\"\" data-website=\"\"><\/p>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hr.uw.edu\/thorud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/06\/julie-stein-475.png\" alt=\"Profile of Julie  Stein\"><\/td>\n<td><strong>Julie  Stein<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Executive Director, Professor Burke Museum, Anthropology, College of Arts &amp; Sciences<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"open-profile-modal\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"View Susan Terry\u2019s profile\" data-name=\"Susan Terry\" data-title=\"UW Career Center\" data-email=\"\" data-department=\"\" data-bio=\"&lt;h3&gt;Awarded: 2013&lt;\/h3&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nominated by: Glenna Chang, Special Assistant to the Vice President for Student Life, Student Life&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;We have been waiting with bated breath for the call of nominations to come around again so we could finally send in our nomination for our beloved Susan Terry.

In his work as Secretary of the Faculty, Mike has exhibited a leadership style that is subtle, taking no credit unto himself, but which has had a profound effect on the University of Washington (UW). He is a strategic leader who makes decisions based on compassion and fairness, always thinking about the well-being of others, and celebrating diverse perspectives with a belief that diversity of thought and voice make the university stronger. Mike\u2019s leadership is \u201cpeople focused\u201d and centered around an idea that the university thrives when the people at its core are respected for their expertise and have opportunities to grow and advance their careers. In meetings with everyone from administrative heads to rank-and-file faculty members, Mike demonstrates a capacity to listen and genuinely hear what others have to say, to compromise when appropriate and show others how to do so, and to act with an obvious caring that inspires trust.
