In the 1941-42 academic year, there were more than 400 Nikkei students enrolled at the University of Washington. What happened to these students? This ongoing biographical directory project seeks to find out. We’re trying to track down our students and provide brief biographical information for each one. Historical context for this project is available through the website, Interrupted Lives: Japanese American Students at the University of Washington, 1941-1942.

Student names were derived from the 1941 University of Washington Directory. This is not a perfect listing, some students were missing from the directory and names were misspelled.
