University of Washington Student Resources for Racial Equity

In the realm of institutional processes, ample evidence indicates that students of color often encounter substantial isolation and challenges in adapting, as educational institutions have only recently evolved into more inclusive environments for Black students and other individuals of color. Institutional racism, microaggressive behaviors, and other forms of active oppression continue to take place within these spaces. We support and want to call attention to the efforts being made to establish dedicated spaces for communities of color on the UW campus, offering resources and educational support to counteract the ongoing adversities faced by our students. 

Listed below, the UW has several offices and student facing organizations accessible both on campus and remotely, providing additional support for students of color as they navigate these injustices and challenges within and beyond the institutional framework at UW.
