Senior Class Gift
Senior Class Gift
The University was founded with a gift of land from four Seattle families. Since then, giving back has been in our DNA. Real Dawgs Give Back in a variety of ways — and supporting future Huskies is one way to truly make an impact.
GIVE NOW
Our History
Over the past century, UW students have united to show the power of participation. From the Yoshino cherry trees in the Quad to the supporting access to mental health resources, the mark of graduating Huskies is evident and everlasting.
Class of 2019 Senior Class Gift
The Bystander Training for Students Fund will help strengthen efforts to end sexual violence through collaborative partnerships across campus, peer-to-peer advocacy, and education programs that empower students to create a safe and healthy campus community.
UW Tacoma Lushootseed Language Revitalization Fund
This year, graduating seniors at UW Tacoma chose to create and support the Lushootseed Language Revitalization Fund. This fund will support the the infusion of the Lushootseed language on the campus of UW Tacoma through the installation of signage, markers, or other physical representation. These installations will serve as symbols recognizing the campus indigenous population while preserving and promoting the native culture and geographic heritage of the campus.
UW Bothell Student Emergency Fund
Since 2015, the past four graduating classes have all chosen to support the Student Emergency Fund. This fund provides financial support to students experiencing financial crises and who otherwise could not stay in school. Students experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, large medical bills, or other hardships can apply for funding to ease these types of financial burdens to ensure they can complete their education.
