Early life and education
editCauce was born in Havana, Cuba, to Vicente Cauce, minister of education under Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, and Ana Cauce (née Vivanco).[4] When she was three years old, her family, including her brother César, fled the island during the Cuban revolution. She grew up in Miami, Florida, where her father, who held a PhD, worked first as a custodian. Eventually both parents worked in a shoe factory.[5]
Cauce received a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, with a major in English from the University of Miami in 1977. She received a Master of Science in 1979, a Master of Philosophy in 1982, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1984, all in psychology from Yale University.[2]
Her doctoral studies concentrated on child clinical and community psychology.[5] Her doctoral advisor at Yale University was Edmund W. Gordon.[6]

In 1986, she moved to Seattle to work as an associate professor at the University of Washington, where she gained tenure in 1990. In 1996 she was named chair of the American Ethnic Studies department. Cauce then was appointed the Director of the Honors Program. She later became Dean of the University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences.[6]
In 2007, Cauce helped launch The Husky Promise, a tuition-funding program at the university.[7]
In 2012, she became Provost of the University of Washington.[7]
On October 13, 2015, Cauce was appointed president of the University of Washington by its Board of Regents. She had served as interim president since March 2015, when her predecessor Michael Young announced his departure.[8][9] She is the first permanent female president and the person of Hispanic ethnicity to hold the position.
