2023 Bucky Awards

By Katherine Zimmerman, NAMI-UW President (2022-2024)

My sincere thanks to the UW Department of Student Affairs for hosting the 2023 Bucky Awards and the Precollege Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence for co-sponsoring the Inclusivity Award.

The NAMI-UW leadership team is extremely grateful and honored to be recognized for our efforts towards fostering learning opportunities, leadership growth, building campus community, and promoting awareness.
​
Mental health is and continues to be paramount, especially in light of the challenges the world has endured just in these past few years. Therefore, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment, acknowledging and fighting against the social disparities that perpetuate existing inequalities, while also supporting and empowering students is extremely crucial to NAMI-UW's mission. Everyone deserves a community that understands and supports them.

In short, I am incredibly proud of what we've accomplished this year and of my fellow executive team members for finding innovative, meaningful ways to continue our student organization's mission and reaching future goals!
