A Message from the UW President

At the University of Washington, diversity is integral to our mission. We are dedicated to creating and fostering the conditions that support learning and develop character. This happens best in an environment that is free of all forms of discrimination and when all members of our community feel included, regardless of their identity, their area of study or scholarship, or their social, political or religious views. Put simply: No matter who you are, where you’re from, whom you love, where or whether you worship, or any other aspect of your identity, we welcome all contributions that help the University of Washington maintain its commitment to access and excellence, to building a better and more equitable future, and creating a world of good.

All of us at the University of Washington, including Residential Life staff, must work to realize our shared values. Resident Directors, together with their Resident Adviser staff and student leaders, are uniquely positioned to build inclusive spaces and create transformative experiences for many UW students who call our residential communities home. We are unwavering in our resolve to provide a diverse and welcoming campus and we hope you will take this opportunity to join us.

Regards,

Ana Mari Cauce
Professor of Psychology
President
