Cauce began at UW in 1986, when she was hired as an assistant professor of psychology, according to the university. She became a department chair, the dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, then provost before being named interim president and then eventually UW's 33rd president in 2015, UW said. "Beyond these historic firsts, the impact of her presidency touched all corners of campus life, enhancing access to higher education for students, advancing research and patient care, uniting disciplines to address global challenges, and fostering the UW’s relationships with communities near and far," UW's press release said.
“Ana Mari Cauce is an outstanding president, who has led the UW through some of the most tumultuous times in its history. She has advanced the University’s public mission through partnerships with legislators, civic leaders, and the philanthropic community,” David Zeeck, Chair of the UW Board of Regents said in a statement on behalf of the Board. “Few university presidents now serve 10 years. The University has been fortunate to have Ana Mari in this position since 2015.
"We are grateful for her unwavering support of our athletics programs through the years and for her genuine commitment to the holistic development of our student-athletes. We look forward to celebrating her and her many accomplishments in the near future."
