UW President Ana Mari Cauce,Tomio Moriguchi

The Multicultural Alumni Partnership (MAP) at the University of Washington (UW) celebrated its 21st anniversary Oct. 17. The event benefits the MAP Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Founded in 1994, the Multicultural Alumni Partnership is dedicated to promoting diversity at the UW and in the UW alumni community.

MAP has taken a leadership role in addressing issues of equality and equity through scholarships, mentoring, lectures, and reaching out to the UW community. MAP is open to everyone; the only qualification is a passion for diversity and social justice.

MAP’s signature event is the annual “Bridging the Gap Breakfast” held annually on Homecoming Saturday. The morning celebration recognizes the recipients of the MAP scholarship and the service of alumni and friends who have made a difference for diversity at the UW.

Alumni and friends awardees included:
— Dr. Samuel E. Kelly Award: Tomio Moriguchi
— Distinguished Community Service Award: Senator John McCoy and Estela Ortega
— Distinguished Alumni: Margaret Burnley-Spearmon
