UW Bothell names new dean for School of Nursing & Health Studies

Saturday, July 27, 2024

Dr. Vanessa Lopez-Littleton named Dean of UW Bothell
School of Nursing & Health Studies
The University of Washington Bothell has named Dr. Vanessa Lopez-Littleton as its new dean of the School of Nursing & Health Studies, effective Nov. 1, 2024.

Lopez-Littleton has nearly three decades of leadership and management experience in higher education, public service and health care. 

She has held several executive positions at California State University, Monterey Bay, most recently as interim dean of the College of Health Sciences and Human Services.

“Dr. Lopez-Littleton brings a wealth of experience and expertise and a profound commitment to transform lives through health equity and well-being,” said Dr. Sharon A. Jones, vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. 
“She is also a dedicated health care professional and successful fundraiser who prioritizes student success.”

Lopez-Littleton is an award-winning scholar who researches the structural causes of health inequities, with a focus on naming, measuring and addressing the impacts of social, economic and political influences on health and well-being. 

In 2021 she designed a community-engaged study on the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among vulnerable populations in Monterey County and then developed an outreach campaign to increase the uptake of the vaccine.

She actively participates in creating innovative graduate and undergraduate programs, works with diverse teams to develop inclusive classroom and academic practices, and partners with public entities to improve organizational and management performance. 

She is the founding director of the Helen Rucker Center for Black Excellence at CSUMB, where, for one, students and faculty from diverse backgrounds conduct collaborative research around health inequities.

Lopez-Littleton is deeply committed to creating inclusive and caring environments, promoting student success, and honoring shared governance. She is known for innovating access and opportunities for the next generation of health care professionals and designing community-engaged research projects to address real-world problems.

Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, Lopez-Littleton received her doctorate from the University of Central Florida, her Master of Public Administration from Louisiana State University and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Northwestern State University. She was honorably discharged from the United States Army and received the Montgomery GI Bill.

“I am honored to serve alongside an exceptional team of scholars, professionals and community members, all deeply committed to advancing social justice through our students,” said Lopez-Littleton.

Washington College Grant helps make college and career training a reality

Sunday, May 5, 2024

From the Washington Partnership for Learning

The Washington College Grant (WA Grant) is one of the most generous state financial aid programs in the country. 

During the 2022-23 academic year, the state gave out more than $436 million in total to nearly 92,000 students via the grant. 

Award amounts vary based on income, family size, and the school or program attended. 

The maximum award amount will cover full tuition at any in-state public college or university, including community and technical colleges.

At least 70% of job openings in our state will be filled by people who have completed a credential after high school, such as a degree, apprenticeship, or industry-aligned certificate or license; and Washingtonians can use the WA Grant to make their career goals a reality.

The Washington Partnership for Learning published an article about Rikki Weaver, a nursing student at Peninsula College, who is using the grant to complete her credentials. 

Learn more about Rikki’s story and how the WA Grant makes post-high school training and education possible in this article published in The Seattle Times.

Guaranteed college financial aid coming to WA students on food assistance

Monday, April 29, 2024

By Grace Deng
Washington State Standard

Students from families on Washington’s food assistance programs will soon automatically qualify for financial aid to attend college.

That’s due to a new state law, House Bill 2214, that guarantees state financial aid for students enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP for short and sometimes called food stamps. The law calls for the automatic tuition aid to be available by the 2025-26 school year.

“If you’re looking for the one program that connects the largest number of low-income households in the state, it would be SNAP,” said Michael Meotti, executive director of the Washington Student Achievement Council, which introduced the idea to lawmakers.

HB 2214 is the first law of its kind in the country, Meotti said.

In Washington, SNAP is called Basic Food. Generally, a household must be at or below 200% of the federal poverty level to qualify. That’s $60,000 a year for a household of four.

For legal immigrants who don’t qualify for SNAP, the state runs the Food Assistance Program. Households in that program will also automatically qualify for college financial aid.

The funds will come from the Washington College Grant, which already allows the state to offer more need-based financial aid to students than anywhere else in the country.

A ‘game-changer’

Meotti called the law a “game-changer,” because it will allow students to start planning for their futures without having to worry about what will happen if they don’t win scholarships or qualify for financial aid.

“Washington has this hugely generous state financial aid program,” Meotti said, referring to the Washington College Grant. “We can tell you about it, but you won’t know if you’re getting it until the spring of your senior year in high school.”

High school students often give up on higher education early on, Meotti said, for reasons including the high cost of tuition. Meotti hopes guaranteeing financial aid will encourage more students to pursue college and see that it’s an obtainable goal.

Financial aid applications can also be complex and hard to understand, especially for first-generation students whose families don’t have a history of applying.

Washington officials want students to continue to apply for federal aid regardless if they will automatically qualify for state aid, but hope that guaranteeing aid will help remove the barriers that come with financial aid applications.

Guaranteed college financial aid coming for WA for students on food assistance How will it work?
