FEATURED HUSKIES FROM THE 26TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

Portrait of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Husky 100 member

"I am guided by the belief that every opportunity I’ve been given carries a responsibility to pay it forward. Throughout my time in higher education, I have intentionally sought ways to mentor, lead, and expand access to care—serving rural and underserved communities while creating pathways for those who may not yet see themselves reflected in this profession. I hope to build a career defined not only by clinical skill, but by lasting relationships, strengthened communities, and a commitment to opening doors for the next generation."
Jolyn FessendenDoctor of Dental Surgery; 2026 Husky 100 member
"My passion for leadership shines through my experiences as a mentor, tutor, teaching assistant, and researcher at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. I strive to create inclusive communities in all aspects of my life, from the organizations I engage with on campus to industry and the classroom. Ultimately, my goal as a bioengineer is to contribute to increasing the accessibility of healthcare while also serving as a mentor for those interested in the field."

SERVING THE 26TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ facilitates hundreds of programs in communities across the state. Below are a few that operate in your district. Programs active as of January 2023.

Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ in the High School

Through the program, high school sophomores, juniors and seniors can complete Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ courses — and earn college credit — in their own classrooms with their own teachers. Teachers are approved and trained by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty to teach official Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ courses using Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ curriculum, activities, texts, tests and grading scales. Participating students can earn college credits at a fraction of the cost, and these credits are accepted by most colleges and universities across Washington and around the country. Partner high schools can offer Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ coursework in computer science, math, science, world languages, humanities and social sciences. .ÌýÌý

The (PNSN), a partnership between the University of Oregon and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, is dedicated to reducing impacts of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in Washington and Oregon by providing accurate and timely information about earthquakes and ground motions to scientists, engineers, planners and the public. The second-largest seismic network in the United States, PNSN has more than 300 seismograph stations as well as several offices and personnel across the region.
