University of Washington Provost Tricia Serio announced the appointment of Hilaire Thompson as next executive dean of the School of Nursing (SON), effective Aug. 1, pending approval by the Board of Regents.

Thompson fills the position previously held by Azita Emami, who left in 2023 to lead the Yale School of Nursing. Allison Webel served as interim executive dean.

Thompson already is intimately familiar with UW’s world-class healthcare training and delivery. She’s a professor of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Informatics in the UW SON, core faculty at the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center and an adjunct professor in Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education in the UW School of Medicine.
