About this listen

 Good afternoon, Huskies! It's Monday, August 11, 2025, and here's what's happening this week at the University of Washington Seattle campus. - On Tuesday, August 12, from noon to 1 p.m., BECU is hosting a webinar focused on recognizing common scams, understanding the impact of fraud, and learning practical steps to protect yourself and your finances. You'll walk away with actionable tips to spot red flags and know what to do if you or someone you know becomes a target. - Also on Tuesday, August 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Jackson School for International Studies and the World Affairs Council's Global Classroom are hosting a full-day workshop for educators. This event offers an in-depth exploration of the European Union's history and current challenges, providing critical insights into its evolution and future. Washington State educators are eligible to receive clock hours upon full participation. - On Thursday, August 14, from 2 to 3 p.m., prospective students can attend a webinar about the Community-Oriented Public Health Practice (COPHP) MPH Program at UW-Seattle. The session will cover the program's problem-based learning curriculum, service learning projects, funding opportunities, and the application process. - Beginning Monday, August 4, The Whole U is offering 17-week run or walk plans designed to prepare participants for the Seattle Half and Full Marathon on Sunday, November 30. These plans are safe and progressive, encouraging you to run or walk three days a week, gradually building up to the final distance of either 13.1 or 26.2 miles. - Join The Whole U for daily mini movement sessions to re-energize your day. Sessions include a mix of strength training, yoga, and cardio, and are open to all levels. No equipment is needed, though you may want a towel or yoga mat for floor exercises. Learn more and register on The Whole U website. - Seattle's Interstate 5 is undergoing significant construction closures this summer, with more extensive disruptions planned for the next two years. Current work focuses on repairing the deck of the Ship Canal Bridge, which connects downtown Seattle to areas near the University of Washington. These repairs involve weekend closures and lane reductions through August 18, 2025. To reduce traffic congestion, I-5 express lanes will remain open 24/7 in the direction affected by closures. Seattle officials are urging residents to use public transit, stay updated, and allow extra travel time during the construction period. That's all for this week's update. Stay safe, stay informed, and as always, go Huskies!
