Student Affairs: Where Huskies Connect, Thrive, and Make an Impact
College is about more than earning a degree. It’s about finding your people, discovering your strengths, trying new things, navigating challenges, and celebrating the wins along the way.
From your first day on campus to commencement – and every moment in between - Student Affairs is here to help you feel connected, supported, and ready for what’s next. Our teams help build community, foster student success, and support overall health and well-being.
Because when Huskies feel seen, supported, and connected, they’re ready to thrive and make an impact.



Convocation is a lively ceremony where we welcome all incoming first-year and transfer students to campus. As a student at the University of Washington Tacoma, we look forward to celebrating you and kicking off the academic year. Mark your calendar for Wednesday, September 30, and join faculty, staff, alumni, and students for Convocation 2026. Don’t miss out on fun, free snacks and special UW Tacoma swag!
Student Affairs is dedicated to MOVING STUDENTS FORWARD and assisting students through their journey at UW Tacoma. From students' experiences considering and applying to UW Tacoma, to their time growing academically and professionally at UW Tacoma, to their transitions into their dream jobs, the Division of Student Affairs exists to support our many and diverse students and ensure they are prepared for a successful and fulfilling career.
