Our Community

UW Tacoma enjoys a close relationship with the South Puget Sound community. From its very beginning, civic-minded leaders have supported the university and helped bring it to fruition. Today this symbiotic partnership results in many connections between UW Tacoma faculty, staff and students working together with government agencies, business groups and non-profit organizations.

For more information on UW Tacoma’s community engagement, contact Mike Wark, director of external relations, at 253-692-5771 or mwark@uw.edu.

Support UW Tacoma

Because of our state’s economic crisis, students are being asked to shoulder much more of the cost of getting a university degree. And we are asking our community to step up to support them.
