Jennie Warmouth, a 2017 PhD graduate of the College of Education, recently had the trip of a lifetime when she headed to the Arctic to study polar bear. Warmouth’s PhD is in educational psychology and she specializes in human-animal interactions related to learning empathy. She is a recent recipient of the National Geographic Grosvenor Teaching Fellow which is how she was able to travel to the Arctic.
When she’s not trying to locate elusive polar bears, Warmouth is a second-grade teacher at Lynnwood’s Spruce Elementary, part of the Edmonds School District in Washington state. During the evenings, you can often find Warmouth teaching in the Teacher Education Program at Seattle Pacific University. On top of all of this, Warmouth has continued to do research and recently the National Geographic Society highlighted her work with her students on a conservation project dealing with the impact of plastics on Arctic animals.
Listen to audio of 5 local educators who told their stories at February's "Why I Teach" event co-sponsored by UW College of Education. Marquita Prinzing '10, a fourth-grade teacher in South Seattle, was among the featured storytellers.
Jennifer Hoffman, associate professor of educational foundations, leadership and policy and faculty member in the Center for Leadership in Athletics, was quoted in a Diverse Issues in Higher Education article about the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo ― delayed last year due to COVID-19 ― and its connection to the stagnation of diversity in college sports. In addition to representing their country, many Olympic athletes also represent their chosen higher education institution and diversity within collegiate sports has plateaued. Hoffman shares that to create significant change, institutions and athletic boards need to make a conscious effort to hire a "critical mass" of diverse persons in leadership roles like coaching and expand their reach into youth programs to eliminate barriers tied to cost and location prohibitions. For low-income students to make to the collegiate level and beyond, they need access to role models they can relate to as well as good nutrition and training. "The system as it is doesn't support [underserved student-athletes] with the athletic training they need to perform at a high level," Hoffman shares.

The UW’s biggest predicament isn’t about sports.” The article highlights the corporatization of higher education, especially their sports teams, and references Jennifer’s “Name, Image & Likeness (NIL): The Kardashianization of College Sports,” where athletes are exerting more leverage over the huge entertainment and advertising systems that fuel their games.
