Across campus and in our south sound communities, there are inspiring examples of individuals and groups who lead with an equity-lens and make a difference for the common good. It is important that we celebrate each other's efforts and acknowledge their positive contributions that strengthen us and create a sense of belonging for everyone, including historically underrepresented groups. As such, each quarter the Office of Equity and Inclusion shines a spotlight on those who are practicing their best. 

Winter Quarter 2026

 

 

SENSORY FRIENDLY SPACE IN TLB 115

 

For our winter quarter spotlight, we recognize Graduate Reference Specialist, Rayne Duncan, and Alaina Bull, Humanities and Outreach Librarian. In a generous effort to sustain the work of last year's iSchool Graduate students, Rayne and Alaina have ensured that the library continues to offer a sensory friendly space in the Tioga Library Building (TLB) Classroom 115. The space is organized for neurodivergent students who need a quiet place to work free from overwhelming stimuli that can result in sensory overload. Rayne’s mindfulness reflects inclusive, equity-minded approaches that support student well-being and increases positive visibility for neurodivergent individuals.
