The Office of Global Affairs works collaboratively to foster cultural humility and build globally-interconnected communities by promoting global learning opportunities on and off-campus, building international partnerships, and supporting international students, scholars, and research at the University of Washington Tacoma.
In our work, we are committed to the following values:
- We promote diversity, equity, and inclusion through programming that recognizes, explores, and honors the cultural assets, histories, and lived experiences of our campus communities.
- We practice cultural humility by acknowledging and celebrating differences, engaging in critical self-reflection, and redressing power inequities.
- We extend equitable access to global education for all of our students with experiences such as international exchanges and study abroad programs.
- We aspire to be actively anti-racist in our practices, policies, and programs.
- We strive to provide exceptional services and programs that empower students, faculty, and staff to achieve their goals.
- OGA approaches our partners with respect and prioritizes mutually beneficial collaborations with partners across the University, our local communities, and internationally.
