UW Tacoma's Center for Urban Waters, led by Dr. Joel Baker, hopes to become a center for the study of a newly-emerging threat -- microplastic pollution.
UW Tacoma will hold its first conference on higher education and Native Americans, featuring presentations that highlight contemporary issues facing Indigenous people in higher education, such as the absence of Indigenous heritage and history in academic courses and literature.
Experts from the United States, Australia, Japan, Netherlands and the United Kingdom will gather at the University of Washington Tacoma Sept. 9-10 for the first-ever international workshop on the pervasive problem of microplastics in the marine environment.
For the first time, a University of Washington Tacoma student will join the UW Board of Regents as the student representative for all three campuses (Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma).
Dr. Annette Henry has received the Distinguished Contributions to Gender Equity in Education Research Award from the American Educational Research Association.
Dr. Michael Honey was awarded the Organization of American Historians' Liberty Legacy Foundation Award for "Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign."
