At the University of Washington, we value and honor diverse experiences and perspectives; strive to create welcoming and respectful learning, working and living environments; and promote access, opportunity and belonging.
The University of Washington is dedicated to being an inclusive environment that is welcoming to those with a broad range of backgrounds, lived experiences, and values. You are here because you have demonstrated through your achievements and your struggles that you have important perspectives to offer our community. New experiences and engaging ideas that challenge our viewpoint help us to learn, grow, and prepare to contribute to our thriving democracy.
The world is a complex place. When we disagree, it is important that we do so with empathy and respect for each other's humanity. The UW Student Code of Conduct prohibits discriminatory harassment of all kinds, including racist, sex or gender-based, anti-semitic, Islamophobic, ableist, and other discriminatory harassment.
