The UW announced yesterday the appointment of the current Assistant Athletic Director and long-time UW employee Jennifer Cohen as the interim replacement of Scott Woodward as the University's Athletic Director.
If that name sounds familiar even to the casual UW fan, it is not surprising. Cohen is a Pacific Northwest native who has been at the UW for over 15 years. She has made her mark at the University in the discipline of fundraising, both for academics and athletics. She was an instrumental leader in the initiative to fund and build the recent renovation projects involving both the baseball and football facilities.
