Hey Husky!

The Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) and the Graduate & Professional Student Senate (GPSS) are seeking student feedback via a survey as they explore a potential Student Health Fee to help support, sustain and improve essential student health services at the Counseling Center, the Husky Health Center, and LiveWell: Health Promotion & Prevention on the Seattle campus. The fee would be assessed quarterly to all enrolled UW–Seattle students and included within standard tuition and fees.

Take the survey at wellbeing.uw.edu/healthfeesurvey!

Why a Student Health Fee?

Demand for student health services has continued to grow and has outpaced current funding sources. The proposed fee would:

• Provide stable, long-term funding
• Sustain essential existing services
• Allow for improvements to better meet growing student needs
• Address historical underfunding and ongoing financial constraints across health units

Who would oversee it?

Oversight of the fee would be led by a student committee with subject-matter expertise in health and well-being, advised by university leadership and staff.

Dear Students,

Sending a reminder that if transfer is part of your journey, we would appreciate you sharing your perspective through a short (~8-minute) survey. We are hoping for responses at your earliest convenience and by Monday, December 15th. Your insights will directly inform how STP can improve the transfer and 4-year graduation support for current and future transfer students.

Thanks for considering this, and wishing you a strong finish to the quarter!

Good morning,

Please check that you have completed the Title IX Employee Course, it is a required training that should be completed by all employees.

• Employees can access the employee version of the course here: Husky Prevention & Response employee course. 
• Student workers need to complete both the student course AND the employee course.

An alternative course option is available for employees who have experienced violence and harassment and are concerned the course may be emotionally triggering.  If you would like to learn more about these options please contact tixcourse@uw.edu.

New employees have 30 days from their start date to complete this training.  As per the Title IX Office, to avoid discrepancies, new employees should not complete the course before their second day in the position or before their position information has been updated in Workday.

Please note that this training is extremely important and will be tracked consistently on who still needs to complete the course.  Those who have not completed the Title IX Employee Course will be contacted individually when we receive the next report so it is important that everyone completes this course as soon as possible.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
