Intercultural Engagement

Welcome to the Center for Equity and Inclusion! Our center is open to all and our goal is to ensure that all students feel seen, heard, respected and valued. We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone interested in building friendships and learning from one another across differences, including engagement with communities that have been historically marginalized. We offer creative activities, educational programs, multicultural celebrations and support resources that uplift student experiences and positively affirm diverse social group identities in alignment with our mission and the University of Washington Tacoma's Strategic Plan.
