CULTURAL INITIATIVES
Our campus is respectful, productive and inclusive.
Quality relationships are the foundation of a great workplace. Employees benefit from
infrastructure that keeps them informed, makes their work more efficient and highlights
their accomplishments. UW Tacoma aspires to be an employer of choice by cultivating trust,
care and mutual accountability. These require investments in effective communication, shared
governance and administrative processes.
