Former Husky Greg Lewis is the Senior Director of Advancement for Minority Affairs & Diversity at the University of Washington.

Lewis made a name for himself as a star tailback at Washington from 1987 to 1990. As a senior, he rushed for 1,279 yards, a school record at the time, and earned Pac-10 Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors. Lewis was also lauded with the inaugural Doak Walker Award, given to the nation's top junior or senior running back, and finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest finish ever for a Husky offensive player.

After he finished his college career, Lewis spent two seasons with the Denver Broncos before returning to complete his degree in political science from UW in 1993.

He has two daughters, Briana and Janee.
