Hello,

We are excited to share a new event for UW undergraduate students to connect across areas of study, campuses and communities on critical climate justice issues. The event is hosted by EarthLab, a UW institute taking equitable action on climate change. 

The “EarthLab Climate Justice Conversations and Connections” is an inclusive gathering focused on climate justice and community building. Across the University of Washington, students actively engage in vital discussions about climate change and its profound implications for social justice. This free event is a platform for grassroots conversations to build a stronger and more connected climate community, where student voices take center stage. There are three campuses, countless RSOs and groups and individuals all working and learning separately. What could we accomplish if we came together? 

Learn more about the event or RSVP directly.

Students,

Special Presentation by US Navy Admiral on Submarine Technology

Wednesday, April 17

10:30-11:20 am

ECE 125

Join us for a “deep dive” into the science and engineering behind our Nation’s nuclear submarine force!  U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Nicholas Tilbrook will present the basic principles and design of the many systems that allow submarines to operate submerged for months at a time with no external support.  The topics to be discussed include power generation, sonar, water production, atmospheric controls, weapons systems, surfacing, diving, and submerged operations.

This will be an exciting look into the complex technology that maintains our Navy’s submarines as the best in the world.  We hope you can join us!

ALSO: Students with a strong interest in learning more about careers with the US Navy and Navy technology are invited to an informal lunch with the Admiral and other Navy officers from noon- 1pm. Continue reading →

Dear esteemed invitees, 

TCF, The Citizen’s Foundation, here at UW is hosting our annual Eid Banquet. Our organization since its conception has been dedicated to supporting the education of underprivileged children in Pakistan. Each donation goes to either sponsor a child, a class or an entire school while also aiding in building such institutions. Our goal for this year is to help fund an entire school for a year. 

Given UW’s position as an academic institution, it is our responsibility as torchbearers of education to further it for masses who lack the proper access and resources. The lives we lead currently are seemingly unattainable dreams for too many Pakistani children. There is no geography on talent or motivation, but there certainly is one on opportunity thus making it our job as the privileged to even the gap and bridge this egregious divide. 

Plus…..IT’LL BE LOADS OF FUN. We have wonderful food, speeches and games prepared for you all, no one said that good faith efforts had to be boring. So come join us on the 20^th at the UW tower at 5:00pm
