Biography

University of Washington - General Studies

Assistant Dean for Wellness at University of Washington - School of Medicine
Education Management
Anne
Browning
Seattle, Washington
With 15+ years experience as a higher education leader and organizational development professional, I'm known for designing holistic, cross-disciplinary strategies that address some of the most pressing challenges facing students and community members today through innovative approaches to programming, policy, and people.

What gets me out of bed in the morning is the challenge to build intentional, rich, and equitable integrative learning opportunities and environments that connect, engage, and inspire an ever-growing and diverse community of learners. Currently, I'm exploring new, more scalable and sustainable ways in which higher education can address emerging and persistent disparities in student well-being through
by reimagining the roles of curricular and co-curricular supports, spaces, and organizational dynamics in promoting student success.

Key skills include:
- Launching, incubating and building capacity for contextually responsive, student-centered programming
- Designing and developing learning communities, systems, and supports that engage students to transcend their perceived academic potential
- Leading cross-disciplinary initiatives to embed resilience, compassion, mindfulness, and well-being programming into curricular and co-curricular spaces
- Advising and coaching higher education, nonprofit, and corporate leaders on cultural and organizational development
- Speaking and facilitating on a number of topics including: resilience and compassion in higher education; diversity, equity and inclusion; leadership development; women in leadership
