Together Remotely – Staff Spotlight: Glenna Chang

Now more than ever, it is important that we stay connected to one another. The Student Life Staff Development Committee has launched Together Remotely, a series of posts to help staff across the Division of Student Life keep up with each other and share their experiences, successes, and stories during these extraordinary times. We hope that these posts can in some way brighten your day, give you a great idea, or just help you to feel a little more connected.

Content is staff-generated, informal, and open-ended… and we need more! To submit your own content, please visit the content submission form and respond to any of the areas that interest you, or email Nathan Miglich.


Staff Spotlight: Glenna Chang

Associate Vice President, Student Life

In the Kitchen

Share favorite recipes, go-to snacks, or other culinary creations.


Self Care Activities

What have you been doing to take care of yourself and unwind?

Heather Robertson’s channel on youtube for exercise videos that will kick butt. Plus, she doesn’t talk.


Kids & Animals

Stories, adventures, and other content related to your tiny or non-human companions.

Let’s just agree not to apologize for a small person interrupting a zoom call, shall we? Also, we have rediscovered the joy of a backyard campfire.


Giving Back

Information about organizations or causes you have been able to support.

Staying steady with our philanthropy to UW Student Life, Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets, the Mountaineers.


Read/Watch List

What entertainment content are you binging or finding interesting currently?

The Daily podcast. Because I don’t spend enough hours in a day with ear buds in.


Connecting with Community

How have you stayed in touch with friends, family, and other communities?

Lots of zoom calls with family and friends. Cross-country cooking projects with friends.


Professional Development

What resources for continued growth and development have you been taking advantage of?

This isn’t exactly an answer to the question, but I have been so grateful for and humbled by the strength, flexibility, and compassion exhibited every single day by our colleagues in our division. I grow by watching all of you.


One More Thing

Spider origami! Because why not…
