The department of ECE’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee is sponsoring a community grounding session for CoE’s BIPOC students including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian, multi-racial, and other underrepresented minority students on May 14th at 6 – 7:30 pm PST.
Please join us to connect with fellow CoE community members, build relationships, and participate in a restorative breathing exercise to connect us to each other and ourselves.
Please RSVP here using your UW email.
Greetings, UW Community.
Please join the Race & Equity Initiative for two healing and wellness sessions with local wellness practitioner Tai Velasquez. Tai’s work focuses on breathing and meditation practice as one tool for slowing down and connecting with our inner guidance. You are invited to attend one or both sessions.
Zoom registration is required—Please use your UW email address. Register here.
Please know, they will not admit people from the waiting room who do not login with the name they provided during the registration process. They also reserve the right to remove any participant who disrupts or is counterproductive to the healing space we are creating.

Hello CEE Majors,
We’ve got a few updates below but I wanted to reiterate the importance of your degree audit. Your Degree Audit (DARS) is the tool that University of Washington uses to track your progress to degree. If there are requirements missing from your degree audit, the University will not grant your degree.
So, if you have taken STAT 311 to satisfy your statistics requirement, you need to make sure that STAT 311 is showing up when you refresh your DARS. This is true of all degree requirements that appear on your DARS.
I purposefully chose STAT 311 to use as an example because STAT 311 is approved for statistics at the dept level only. DARS will not show STAT 311 unless you have communicated with one of your CEE advisers that you have taken STAT 311 and that it is not showing up on your DARS.
To run a fresh degree audit, use the MyPlan “Audit Degree (DARS)” option. (We do not recommend using the MyPlan “Audit Plan” option as it misses some of the nuance in our degree programs)
Read about updates to courses, updates to Senior Year Faculty Mentoring sessions, important deadlines, mental health resources, and graduating info. As always, you know how to find us if you have questions or items to discuss!
A message from Department Chair Laura Lowes:
Watching the Derek Chauvin trail and waiting for a verdict is difficult and comes at a time when our energy is already low due to a multitude of other events. I’m writing to you today to encourage you to take the time you need to keep yourself healthy and well during these difficult times and to let you know that there are a number of health and wellness resources that are being planned for the coming weeks, in the aftermath of the Chauvin verdict. These will be announced centrally as they become available. In the near term, there are two opportunities specific for students.
Learn more about the events below and please take advantage of these and other University resources, and don’t hesitate to reach out for help and advice to CEE advising staff, UW staff or others.

Provost Richard’s message provide links to a couple of websites where you can find vaccination appointments.
