EKİN YAŞİN

I am the Director of the Communication Leadership Master’s program at University of Washington. I am also an Associate Teaching Professor at the  Department of Communication at University of Washington. I received the University of Washington’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 2018.

With over a decade of teaching experience, I have taught at a number of esteemed institutions including New York University and Baruch College. I am committed to transforming the classroom into a dynamic space of inquiry and connection, and strive to inspire students to create class assignments that have an impact beyond the classroom. I value student input and believe that education is a collaborative process between the educator and the student.

In addition to my teaching, I also organize workshops for higher education professionals and those interested in teaching. I am passionate about developing innovative and effective teaching practices and am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and experience with others.
