One year later, Mike Hopkins is proving he was the right choice for UW | The News Tribune

From her Graves Hall second-floor corner office, Jennifer Cohen has a perfect view of Lake Washington to the point she can see the Cascades off in the distance on this particular sunny morning.

She doesn’t care. At least, not right now. Cohen’s attention is met by another stunning attraction. The second-year Washington athletics director is more interested in watching the NCAA Tournament on her two computer screens.

“This is fun to watch,” she says. “It’ll be even better next year when we’re there and in the tournament.”

Monday is the one-year anniversary of when Cohen and UW officially announced they hired Mike Hopkins.
